Hello, I just have a couple of questions on NBC we havnt stayed since 2005 I think it was!
I've heard it has been recently refurbished :) and I just had a look on YouTube and rooms look lovely. So would really love to plan our October visit here. We always stay on-site and have tried them all but it's been such a long time were definatley considering NBC for a change.

Ok, first of I picked up a Disneyland paris brochure yesterday and it states "refurbishment until autum 2015" "the boutique will be closed until further notice" now I don't mind if works still being done we won't be using pool/bar. But would like a refurbished room preferably and am hoping the shop will be open?
Has anyone stayed here recently or know how works are going ect? We've booked our travel 7-11 October 2015 but have yet to book hotel.

Secondly when we stayed here many years ago we had a ground floor room with doors that opend into the gardens if my memory is correct! We often stay at HNY because of this also. I'm wondering if they still have rooms with doors that open up to the outside? No it's an odd question, but it really makes a difference my son can get quite chlostrophobic he has special needs and a door from our room leading outside really helps if he has a meltdown and needs some air.

Thanks all!

Honestly, I would pick a different hotel until the refurbishment is completely done.
They are running behind schedule bigtime with the refurb. I don't think the shop will be open when you're going.
There are some refurbed rooms that they're renting out now, but definately not all of them.
You only have a slight chance of a refurbed room.
They only did one part of the hotel when they started on the refurb, and they were supposed to do another part when the first once is finished.
However even the first part is running behind, so the refurb probably won't be finished until the 25th anniversary in 2017.

That's a shame but if any doubt ring dlp and ask if pool/shop open on your dates

Just read this article on www.disneylandparis-news.com
http://disneylandparis-news.com/en/the-disneyland-paris-hotels-4-ship-ahoy-disneys-newport-bay-club-is-treated-to-a-complete-renovation/ (hope that works)
Sounds quite good so far. But there still will be some work going on for a long time.

How bizarre! A Disney hotel with no shop :(

She was very quick to add that there were shops everywhere else, but I agree! Wasn't quite the reply I expected when I asked when it was reopening...

Hmm not at all. Might plump for the HNY then as its just as cheap that time of year.

That's what we did for November this year. Cost us around £70 more but we're 100% more satisfied.
