We stayed in a disney lodge 10 mins drive away with swimming pool etc which was fine for bed n breakfast and dinner as we were out all day and so much cheaper. Trying to remember name of it!

No worries. There are a few other groups too.

yum, was it www.disneylandparis.fr/hotels/disneys-davy-crockett-ranch/?CMP=OKC-dlp_lodging_gmap_464? We stayed there too. Loved it. Doing Santa Fe this time as we aren't driving.

I’d wait for the 25% off and free meal plan offer to come around. It’s in now for this May half term, so you don’t need to book right now.

We have stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, Newport Bay and Cheyenne. The one we loved and went back to numerous times was the Cheyenne.

First of all there is always a deal and check out the offers for the other countries. If you're staying for 4 days do you really need a pool as you will be fitting in a lot of walking round the parks. Each hotel has its perks so what's important to you?

I didn’t like the smell of the Disneyland Hotel weird but there it is. Newport Bay was lovely I think the issue was the cold weather in January, even the indoor pool was freezing - we won a competition on the radio so didn’t get to choose when we went. I would probably go back there. The Cheyenne was really relaxed, they had an outdoor area for the kids to play including teepees. Horse riding, character visits and we could walk along the canal to and from the park. Probably the same for many of the hotels. We have always had a lovely experience.

I always recommend this guide book.....

It tells you of the best places to sit whilst watching a show and other useful info.

If it's any consolation, I thought the New York Hotel was very disappointing. On reflection, we should have just totally blown the budget and booked the Disneyland Hotel which was utterly fabulous or, if not, one of the even cheaper ones as I can't imagine they could have been worse that the New York.

We’ve enjoyed Santa Fe many times but absolutely love Davy Crockett.

imabeautifulfennelcalledjoan we did it the other way round so did Eurostar to Paris, stayed in a fab central hotel for 2 nights and then got the local train to Disneyland on the third day. We hadn't told our DSs about this bit of our trip, they just thought we were going to Paris, and when we got out of the station at Disney DS1 thought we were just getting off the train to look at the outside of it! It took him ages to twig what was going on and his face was a picture when he realised

ANyway, my point was supposed to be that we got a Eurostar to Paris but got Eurostar back direct from DLP.

@OldHag1 IIRC the Disneyland Hotel uses a special air freshener and they even sell it in the gift shop.

It’s minging. Like they bottled the smell of chintz mixed with cinnamon. It’s the only thing about the hotel I really hated.

Lol NormHonal it is a musty smell made me feel a bit sick but I couldn’t complain too much as STBE booked it for my 40th birthday. I can still still imagine the smell.

We loved Davy Crockett ranch too, makes it a much cheaper way to do it - as you can take all supplies from home so can don’t need to spend much when you get there, ferry from Dover to Calais is really cheap also you can drive into Paris to see the sights.

Sorry just realised your not driving

We went to the DLH for cocktails. Very underwhelming.

DLH was great for character meets. They danced on the stairs when we were there it was fantastic. Lots of the characters it was like a mini parade lol. They probably don’t do it anymore - there were leaflets by the conceirge desk advising of times.

Yes we booked as 2 single journeys imabeautifulfennelcalledjoan and in Paris we stayed at this hotel just off th Champs Elysees. Though looking at their website it's been done up and looks a bit posher than when we stayed there.
