Am thinking of taking my older 2 to Disneyland (toddler wouldn't like it so dh staying home with him)

Just googled & it's so expensive! Our holiday for all 5 of us is cheaper!

Any tips on booking it?

Children are 13 & 10.

Would need to be school holiday time really and over a weekend (fri-mon)

Thank you.

Tbh I think your older ones re too old for disney Paris. We went 2 years ago when dd were 3 & 5 and there were only 5 or so rides my eldest couldn't do. I'd say it off under 10s. All the parades and princess things etc are for younge kids too I found.

Disagree I think there is fun to be had for older kids and you can do more at a faster pace, especially in the Studios. It won't be cheap though , as in DLP accommodation you'll pay under occupancy for children as rooms set up for 4 and your 13yo is probably counted as an adult. Do you want to stay onsite or would you consider a few train stops/bus ride away ?

i would be interested to hear about accommodation off park by train as i know the station is just at the gates

Thanks all.

Tbh, I think they're too old, but they want to go!

I don't mind if we don't stay on the site.

I will look at seista travel.

Most of the chains (Best Western , Ibis etc) are represented in Marne Le Vallee, Val d'Europe and Bussy St Georges - some listed here - offering train and/or bus links

Ahh, much cheaper through siesta travel.

They can pick us up at Thurrock as well.

Have a look on laterooms etc. at the Dream Castle hotel. It's not on the site but has a shuttle bus service to the main park (about 10mins). There are a couple of hotels in the same area but we quite liked it there - rooms were good, food was very good and a lovely outside terrace overlooking the lake.

Depending where you are in the country Eurostar is a good option - changing at Lille is often cheaper than changing in Paris and isn't much more hassle than a direct train.

I live very close to Disneyland so we have been a few times.

We found that booking through the French website so much cheaper than the British one.

I remember reading an article a few years back about British people being charged so much more than the French and its absolutely true! Shock

It might work out cheaper to book a hotel and arrange to buy tickets At the gate when you arrive? This might not be the case but worth a check?
