Def not going this year but thinking about it for next year/year after
How much would you budget and how many nights is best to stay Inc travel and hotel and stuff, I've tried to Google but I am useless and can't seem to work out how much I would need to save.

Do a hotel not Davy Crockett then. Cheyenne and sequoia are fine. Book early for good deals and try other country's websites (via the dlp website)

Your child will be free. Out of school hols prices are good just pick your time,

I would advise you go to park early from local hotel and then go back after lunch for a nap, then back again with a 3 year old. Lots of walking!

Cafe Mickey is ace to see the main characters.

I would personally book sequoia or Cheyenne or Santa Fe and spend the cash on the character stuff you might want to do.

The restaurant meals are fine (ratatouille and cafe mickey ace) and the buffets are ok. Fast lunch food is crap so if you can take in snacks etc do so.

Thankyou everyone,
2 adults and a 2 year old but would he 3 next year obviously so not restricted to school holidays.
Live in the south east and would pron ably get the eurostar because I'm scared of flying and our car can't be trusted to go that far or it'd die on us I think

How many of you - adults / children? How old will the children be? Are you restricted to school holidays? Where do you live and do you have a preferred method of travel?

scousesal · 30/05/2016 15:53

I went with my daughter 8 in December 22-26 I did as small as budget I could.

Flights 150
We stayed in airbnb apartment for 4 nights £200 in val de Europe
Disney annual passes were around 230 for both of us
I went to the supermarket and bought food for breakfast and dinner . Took a picnic in everyday .Water Bottles as they have fountain's everywhere .Only day we ate out was Christmas day .We still had a amazing time .

umizoomi · 30/05/2016 14:06

I think you can do DLP quite cheap for what you get.

We went just before Easter (our school hols were early) and did Sunday to Thursday (4 nights) at Davy Crockett. Only one child free and paid for a mean package (about £400) all in was around £900 (there was a 25% off offer on) only one free child as eldest is 8

As we drove we took snacks etc breakfast is included at Davy if buy a meal plan. Cabins are great. Take advantage of magic hours (8am -10am)

Depends how far away from Folkestone you are so we added on a hotel the night before and after in France to split the journey but you don't have to if live further south. Can also get cheap flights if you book early enough.

Pinkmyride79 · 29/05/2016 23:45

About £1200 inc flights from the North in Easter holidays.

You do a lot of walking at DLP and children can be too tired to sit down and eat. It's a 15-20 min walk to the park from the park hotels with the exception of the Disneyland hotel right at the entrance.

For me good planning is the key. The parade was the best bit so being in the park later on is good.

Our little one never made the fireworks and that was at 8.30! She was asleep by 7pm every night!

bookbuddy · 29/05/2016 23:16

Oh and we did the princess lunch and mickeys cafe.

bookbuddy · 29/05/2016 23:14

We went Feb term time we went by airplane easy jet and magical shuttle, stayed at hotel Cheyenne 4 nights 5 days half board plus meal plan £1200 we took £1100 for spending money and could of easily brought £500 back but we thought we won't be doing it again for a while so we spilt it between the kids and they had a spending spree the day before we came back. Have fun

SouperSal · 29/05/2016 23:07

We left at around 11am on the last day and at the train station waiting for the TGV, my brother sold our park tickets for 100€ while i was getting coffee, so we made lunch money

To others reading this, please don't sell your tickets on. Pickpockets buy them to get access to the park to rob people.

iLikeBoringThings · 29/05/2016 22:41

Went in December with my brother and niece (4). We spent £600 on a 4 day/5 night package at the Hotel Cheyenne, £250 on flights from Manchester and £70 on TGV tickets from the airport direct to Disneyland.

On top of this, we spent £1000 on food drinks and souvenirs, including Buffalo Bill tickets, 3 character breakfasts at Cafe Mickey and 1 character dinner at the Inventions buffet.

Could have spend less but my niece went a little bit crazy in the shops lol.

Definitely recommend visiting - my niece hasn't stopped talking about it since we came back!

MazzleDazzle · 29/05/2016 22:39

Soloman they are really strict! Pregnant women aren't allowed on any of the rides. I went when I was pregnant and dressed carefully to disguise it (obviously I only went on boring rides!). Even then, one of the stewards took me aside, asked if I was pregnant and wouldn't let me on.

VinoTime · 29/05/2016 22:34

We've booked 3 nights over the first weekend of December (Friday-Monday) for a little pre-Christmas magic We got one day and night free through the early booking offer. DD is 9 and therefore pays so for her and I to stay at Santa Fe:

Hotel incl. breakfast and park tickets - £554.00

Flights - around £130

Half board premium dining plan - £204

Bus to and from CDG airport and Disney Hotel - £54

Disney PhotoPass+ - £38

Train tickets and airport bus at home - around £30

Total: £1010.00.

Ouchies. Our two week summer holiday to Gran Canaria last summer cost significantly less. Suffice to say I haven't booked a summer holiday this year. I'm holding out hope for a really cheap last minute deal!

SouperSal · 29/05/2016 22:28

Also with the U.K. offer you can pay a deposit to secure a deal if you book far enough in advance, whereas with another country's offer, you have to pay it all up front on booking.

If you phone you can pay a deposit whichever country's deal you're doing.

derenstar · 29/05/2016 22:16

SouperSal - yep, I know about that but sadly, the then French offer even with kids u12 going free came in more expensive than the UK offer when I was booing (we booked last September). It was something like €2150 iirc. When we went last year, again I checked and the U.K. offer worked cheaper as it came with the free half board whereas the French offer did not so had to add it for a true comparison. Also with the U.K. offer you can pay a deposit to secure a deal if you book far enough in advance, whereas with another country's offer, you have to pay it all up front on booking.

Have to say, we loved staying at the Disneyland hotel, being so close to the main park makes for a more relaxed experience I think; plus dining at Inventions more than once!

Oliviaerinpope · 29/05/2016 22:14

If you drive, at certain times of year you can get a resort hotel around £1000 for a few nights.

Geekmama · 29/05/2016 22:11

OP if you on FB There is a group called Disneyland Paris for Brits. You will get all the information you need to know there. We went for five days last year and stayed at David Crockett. We had a half-board + meal plan And it cost us £1200, That was for two adults one child. The previous year We got annual passes what cost about €230 Per person and we stayed at one partnership Hotels just outside the park. To be honest tho, staying at one of the Disney hotels is always nicer, you can get the meal plans. so you can eat at all of the funky restaurants / character dining, Without worrying about the cost.

SouperSal · 29/05/2016 22:10

Just be warned that in the summer the fireworks aren't until 11pm........

CinderellaFant · 29/05/2016 22:07

There's a fab Facebook group called Disneyland Paris for Brits. Really helpful

Howaboutthisone · 29/05/2016 22:02

Hoping to go next year so watching with interest!

poorbuthappy · 29/05/2016 22:00

5 of us August 2014. Disneyland hotel. 3 nights 4 days. £2.7k

SolomanDaisy · 29/05/2016 21:58

Can I ask a question while you're all here? I'm thinking of taking DS (4 yo) in the summer for a few days, but it would just be me and him as DH is away for work. I'd be about 22-23 weeks pregnant. Is that doable? Or is he going to miss out on loads of rides that I can't take him on? He likes the scariest ones he's allowed to go on!

We went mid January (term time) mon - fri so 4 nights 5 days. It wasps great time of year to go as was quite quiet and January sales are in the shops!

4 nights in Santa Fe hotel (which is a Disney one ) and our breakfast each morning for 2 adults a 5 year old and a 3 year old cost us £363.

Flights for the 4 of us from Dublin was £380.

It can be done cheaply!

MazzleDazzle · 29/05/2016 21:48

Whoops - should say park tickets for FOUR days!

CotswoldStrife · 29/05/2016 21:48

We first went a few years ago and drove/Eurotunnel-ed it then. This time we are flying and then hiring a car - we like the Crockett ranch with the outdoor space and pool. Booked everything separately though and will be spending a couple of days in France after the Disney days.
