Hiya,
I have been to Eurodisney with a few friends last year and I absolutely enjoyed it! Best option would be to fly into Charles de Gaulle Paris Airport, there is a shuttle bus going from the airport to Eurodisney. I don't think there is a shuttle bus from Le Bourget (Ryan Air) airport and it is quite far away from there anyway. If you look for flights around October, November you should be able to get a good deal.
We have booked the hotel directly with Disneyland itself, try maybe the Hotel Kyriad Disney. I think that's more a budget accommodation a few minutes away from Disneyland.
It certainly wasn't a cheap weekend but I had a great time! Oh one more thing, the food in Disneyland is pretty bad, definetely not value for money!
Hope that helps you.

The train ticket to euro disney from central paris costs something like E25 each. This I found out when we got there after getting on the right train with just our metro tickets. We were 1 gate away from eurodisney but had to pay E50 to get by it!

Sneakily enough, I saw a woman being buzzed through with a buggy. As a tourist I was just so confused with the whole system (I tried to look as confused as possible) and just held the gate open and my gf and I just walked in behind her!:D

On the way back we got tickets to the start of the metro line (cost about E6 each) where our metro tickets would then be valid from.

Anyway, maybe you might not like to try what I did, but you have nothing to lose by trying it. You can pay at your destination (not sure if you're meant to, but you can).

Also, try to buy your tickets for the park online or in your hotel before you go. They will prob work out cheaper.

Linoge,
This is where a little homework is needed.
I've been there twice.
The first time we stayed in IBIS Hotel near the park.
It was a lovely place. Good sized themed rooms. Very expensive to eat there so we bought our own food in Val D'Europe.

We got the train from disneyland to paris. It was 48(June 2004) for 2 adults+2 children for a day(included metro).

The second time I drove and stayed in a house near Chateau-Thierry in Picardy. It was about 35 minute drive from there to the park but with the kids its much better to have a house than be in a hotel.

The disneyland food is okay but certainly not value for money.
4.50 for a hot dog!
Finally, you can buy the park tickets at the entrance and from other locations near the park.
The price is the same as on the web. The tickets are usually valid for 12-18 mths. So you could buy now and not have to use them till next year
