eurostar - st pancras

[kylesmybaby]

can anyone give me a little advice -

what time do you have to arrive to get on the eurostar to get a 9.50am train to disneyland?

also, can you take your own snacks onto the train for the kids?

thanks

Did you manage to get DS's passport sorted?

I have used this train many times since it started running. We usually aim to be at the station around 9am, as you have to go through security the same as in airports. This can take a while if there are queues.
After that,look at the boards to see the number platform for the Disney train, and sit in the appropriate waiting area. You can pick up special kids packs from the Disney desk.
In school holidays there is usually a band playing in the waiting area. When they announce boarding, the band start playing the Mickey Mouse Club song. You have to go up an escalator to the actual platform and train. This train is VERY long, so look for your carriage number before you board.There are guards to help you.
Large suitcases and buggies are stored at both ends of each carriage, and smaller bags can go in the overhead racks. There is no problem with taking food and drinks on board, although there are 2 buffet cars where you can buy continental breakfast, sandwiches, snacks, drinks etc.
Are you staying in a Disney hotel, and have you booked Express Checkin Service? If so, the CM's will find you on the train, and give you your park tickets, hotel documents, and labels to attach to your luggage. You hand in your bags at the Disney Express desk on arrival, then you can go straight into the parks. They take your luggage to your hotel. You arrive in resort at 1.30pm.France time. Chip and dale are usually at the station to meet people off the train during school holidays.
I usually make an advance dining reservation for lunch in the park.
You can get a lot of help and advice on the Trip Advisor Marne La Vallee forum, which is mainly for Disneyland Paris.
