Disneyland Paris - Recommend A Hotel

Cucullan

Can someone who's been to Disneyland Paris please recommend a good value hotel not too far away from the park. I'm thinking of Novotel Marne La Vallee Noisy which is €325 for a 3 night stay incl breakfast for me and my son and is only 5 miles away but before I book I was just wondering if I was missing out on maybe somewhere cheaper.

Better off to stay in somewhere like the Newport Bay as you can walk to the park. You can also get a good deal that includes the admission to the parks. We stayed there a few months ago and I would stay there again.

+1 for this. Much better off staying within walking distance of the park, otherwise you'll spend a large part of your holiday on a bus.

We stayed in the Sequioa Lodge, paid 634 for three nights half board including admission for four days to both parks for 2 adults + 1 child.

that hotel seems to be 20km from Disneyland?

As a former employee of Disneyland Paris I'd have to recommend that you stay in a hotel within the park, there is frankly too much hassle when you stay outside the park.

Staying in the park is the easy option but if the price is right it's not that much hassle to stay find a hotel 1 train stop from the park and avoid all buses.

I guess it depends on what the price difference is. One night in the Newport Bay can cost up to €300; almost the same price as 3 nights in a town that's only 15 minutes away.

By the time you pay for the admission tickets it won't be much cheaper to stay elsewhere.

Well I'm going to Paris for 4 days but only to Disneyland for 2 days so I think its going to work out too expensive to stay in Disneyland itself as I think I'd have to pay for a 4 day ticket So that's why I wanted to get a hotel nearby that maybe has a pool or something to keep him entertained for the other 2 days. Hotel Magic Circus is another hotel I came across and it says its only 10 mins away plus its only €264 for the 3 nights

The Hotel Magic Circus is a fine hotel with a lot of kid activities and I believe that they have a free shuttle to the park.

Hi

We have stayed in a disney hotel and in Marne La Valee - not your hotel but on the same bus route.

If there is not much in the price difference I would say go for the disney hotels - the free shuttle buses become really appreciated when you have to rely on public transport.

We stayed in the L'Elysee Val D'Europe and although a nice hotel it wasn't exactly part of the experience in the way that the disney hotle we stayed in was. Staying in this hotel you get a free bus (it's a proper route but you travel free as a resident) but the timetable is not great and you don't actually get a ticket - leading one particularly unpleasant bus driver to challenge me on my last day over the fare.

If you time a bus and plan to stay all day and evening at the park you will be fine in Marne La Vallee but if you plan going to and fro during the day you are better off in a Disney hotel.

id say a hotel in disneyland itself as it reduces the hassel
