I know that some of you are VERY good at finding holidays/good deals on line so your challenge is...flights to paris and two day tickets to disneyland travelling on the 13th august(or thereabouts).I have my accomodation sorted already so no worries there.
i have got it down to £516.65, can anyone beat this?
Flying from manchester btw.
thank you!!!!

LOL you were really shocked at that price weren't you Alexsmum!!!
I maybe put in different times/added another day on by mistake. The price you have is realllllly good for August. We're going in May from Leeds and our flights are more than that and I've shopped around for the best price. I'd book it before they go!

got to say, i thought it was good but wanted to see if i could do it cheaper. we're quite skint so trying to do it as cheap as poss. We've got hotel points so have got the accom for free which is great.
I don't suppose you have any idea about train fares from charles de gaulle to disneyland do you?

don't know about the train from the airport but you can get a shuttle \link{http://www.vea.fr/uk/index.asp\bus}, I've used this service before

alexsmum · 19/03/2006 21:51

thanks for that-just trying to convince dh that it was worth paying £68 for the car.It is as we would spend £60 on the shuttle bus( well except that it doesn't fit in with the times of our flights)

OP posts:
littlemissbossy · 19/03/2006 21:54

Yes I agree that is a good price for car hire, but remember you'll have to pay for the road toll (only a few euros) plus parking - I think it's about £5 a day

alexsmum · 19/03/2006 21:55

do you mean parking at the park?
we would leave the car at the hotel -it has a free shuttle bus.
where are you going to stay?
wish cutekids would come back and give me her info so i can search for herGrin

OP posts:
cutekids · 19/03/2006 21:57

we're travelling from north wales.
hubbie not keen on driving whilst on hols.
so,t.a suggested flying.
she rang up while i was there. mind you, she priced up x 5 nights which i thought was a bit more than i was thinking of...maybe 2/3 nights? she asked for hotel within disney-can't remember the name itself including flights and that was the price she gave me.
looking again, the price she's given me is £2798.OO to stay at "Newport Bay Hotel" with flights!

newport bay mega expensive-you want to be looking at seqouia lodge or santa fe if not you've not got a large budget or even a hotel off the park.
how many people? was it 3 kids?

OP posts:
cutekids · 19/03/2006 22:00

Alexmum!!!!where are you?

cutekids · 19/03/2006 22:02

hi! yes, 3 kids and 2 adults but i did present her with a budget -for the 5 of us - of £1000.00 so i don't think she was pulling up the most expensive... i do kind of know her aswell, don't think she'd con me...!???
