    Looking to visit Disneyland Paris in May and stay one or 2 nights in one of the hotels. They all seem to be very expensive. Was wondering if anyone knows of any deals or where or how to get the best deal? Also would appreciate any comments (positive/negative) about previous deals availed of

    TIA

    We're going Tues next for 4 nights/5 days ...we booked with Magicvacations.ie and got flights, B&B, park tickets & transfers for 2 adults & 3 kids, 9,6 & 4 for €1500. Staying in the Cheyenne this time, stayed in Santa Fe last time....they're the lower end of the scale but perfectly adequate & the kids love the themed hotels :)... will post again when I get back!!

    Well, we had a ball in Disneyland Paris.....hotel was great....kids loved the bunk beds.....breakfast ok, lots of croissants, ham & cheese, bread & juice & there were 3 or 4 cereals.....the shuttle bus takes you to the Disney Village & you can get to both parks from there. Eating is a little expensive....but there's a McDonalds & we had a fab meal in the Rainforest Café. Also ate in Café Mickey one evening...expensive & food only ok....but the characters made up for it....my kids loved it..:) Anyway hope you enjoy....we'll definitely be going ba

    Just booked flights into Beauvais with Ryanair as we are going to Disneyland Paris (2 ad + 4 kids) at the end of January 2017 . I'm reading so many different views and reviews as to the most cost effective options for hotels, park tickets and meals and was hoping for a little bit of steer in the right direction. With 6 of us any savings that can be made would be great.
    I was onto Disney direct, for 3 nights in the Disney Sequoya Lodge breakfast + dinner, park tickets for both parks they are asking €1,380. Trying to do it cheaper I found the same hotel on Expedia for €685 , that leaves €700 left for park tickets , food and the likes that would be included in the Disney package . Park tickets are averaging €50 ( times 6 people for 2 or 3 days) per head per day so the Disney €1,380 is appearing not bad value.....Am I missing something obvious or is this a reasonable deal overall .
    Staying the 3rd night is costing only €60 in total as we get better discounts overall (€1,380 instead of €1,320) , I'd like to get back into Paris to see the Eifel Tower and other landmarks . Is this a big trek as I also considered staying in Paris on night 1 and then heading out to Disney on day 2 and staying 2 nights only. I'd save €60 on Disney but have to pay the hotel in Paris but would save on trains/buses in and out . Lots to take in but any advice is welcome

    Hi there I am wondering do you know that the Ryan air. Airport for Paris is quite a bit away from eurodisney if I am not mistaking it's on the other side of the city and takes a good 2 hours to get to euro Disney.

    Are you sure aer lingus was dear as I paid 80 euros each return from Dublin to Cdg. A very fair price. And the fact you can get the TGv to eurodisney outside as well from the airport.

    Ryanair was €40 per head , Aer Lingus was €92 so for 6 people its over €300 in the difference. Ryanair also go in early and out fairly late so it gives us more time over there , basically 4 full days but I do appreciate there will be a bit more travelling with Ryanair .

    You should be able to go cheaper.
    Deals sites offer flights, park tickets, B&B packages for €170pp http://www.pigsback.com/en-ie/offer/250458
    UK offer https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/ga-clear-sky-holidays-661

    As the £ has weakened, you should check UK websites & forums for tips on accommodation & park tickets.

    I've forgotton how to send a private message .The main UK website seems to be about €100 cheaper for what I'm looking for than Breakaway.ie. The magic shuttle bus seems to be cheaper if you book it direct that through any of the sites.I plan to book in the next couple of days. any suggestions would be gratefully received.

    We have used a private company called Ezyshuttle (info@ezyshuttle.com) for transfer to Disney from Beauvais on a couple of occasions.
    It is run by an Irishman called John who can be contacted on the email above.

    Brilliant service, driver in a minibus waiting to pick you up as the plane arrives. There were seven of us, 5 adults and 2 kids for €130 each way last April. Pay the driver when you arrive at your destination. Great value and cheaper than public transport for our group without the waiting around

    That deal on pigsback seems to cheap or am I missing something? Is that crowd clearsky a reputable company? Would love to bring the kids away in January


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 160 ✭✭millhouse


    Saw that myself, be careful of the price as lots give the price based on all your children being under 7 as currently they are free and this gives the impression that the overall package is much cheaper. If they are all under 7 your laughing but if not price will go up.

    I was scouring around looking at putting a package together myself. I contacted disneyland paris direct themselves , they have some good deals on at the moment if you book a package through them . I did the flights myself and then got 3 nights in a Disney hotel, b&b + dinner each day and access to both parks for 4 days for €1,380 for 2ad + 4 kids (1 under 7) in Sequoia lodge. I'm normally one for not going direct as I feel they mark it up considerably but trying expedia or trivago and the likes wasn't any cheaper plus with Disney you've the comfort of being next to the park and knowing all your agreements are direct with them so no 3rd hand parties or you not getting the correct tickets etc etc for the parks.

    Just to clarify was it €130 both ways so €260 in total or €130 in total for the 7 of you ? I need something similar myself from Beauvais

    Can I ask what way your accomodation will work? I'm in the same boat with 4 kids & most rooms seem to only take 3 or 4 max? are ye next to each other? did you request that? are the rooms interconnecting?
    thanks,
    D

    We've had to get 2 rooms with 3 in both, I believe 4 is the max per room. I've requested interconnecting rooms which they say they have but will only be allocated nearer the time so can't be guaranteed

    For me i have 2 young kids (both only 3 & 1 yrs old) so would you recommend this package for me or am I better off just doing it all separately??

    Just struggling a bit to find where to start with Disney.. hotels and their passes etc

    €130 single journey, so €260 return.
    Bus at the time was around €28 adult and €20 child each way so Ezyshuttle worked out cheaper. Plus pick up to suit your travel times allows you to maximise time in the parks.
