Disneyland Paris - Pricing structure mess up?

Hey, to cut it short, I booked a trip to Disneyland Paris last week. I booked and paid for it online, costing me £637.
Everything was normal until tonight, where I found out that you can get your holidays to DLP cheaper if you book through the French website (.fr), as appose to the British (.Co.uk).
So I thought I'd give it ago, and would you bloody believe it?! The exact same trip would cost me €535 (£411 by today's rate).
Is there anything I can do? And are they even allowed to do this?
I haven't rung them up yet, because I've already paid I could imagine they'll me there's nothing they can do.
But even if there's nothing I can do, getting this word out can hopefully save other people loads of ££££.

the word has been out for years - the British press/watchdog have already reported about it. Its perfectly legal, DLP can price for its target audience, country by country.
Anyone, regardless of which country they reside in, can book another country's offer if that one is a better deal for them. But its up to you, the consumer, to find your best offer and then book it.
Depending on how far away you are from your check-in date, you might find it better to cancel and then book on the other country's deal (don't just check France though, check other countries too).
And its definitely NOT the case that the French site is always cheaper than the UK one, its swings and roundabouts, it depends on time of year, number of days, ages and numbers in your party etc etc.0 -
