Title: Having a wobble about extra night! Is my travel agent my only option?
Post by: Mrsya on May 05, 2014, 09:51:21 PM
We arrive in less than two weeks and now thinking that 3 nights 4 days might not be enough for our first time and this will be our last term-time holiday so want to make the most of it.

We booked through Co-op travel and my question is do I have to go through them to add an extra night?? They're quoting £280 now for an extra night!! Whereas disneyland.fr are quoting £302 for TWO nights!

Yes you have to go through the travel agent to add an extra night.  Perhaps you could book 2 nights with Disneyland.fr as a separate trip, either just before or just after your original one.  I'm not saying you can do that, just you might be able to.

If you've booked flights or other travel arrangements you're probably stuck with the co-op. It's probably changing travel arrangements that is bumping up the price whereas disney.fr will just show the cost if hotel and tickets. If this deal doesn't include travel i'd play hardball with them and get a printout of the other price and see if they will match it. If they won't there is absolutely nothing stopping you adding extra nights as a separate booking with whoever is offering the best deal. Just make sure you extend your travel insurance too.

Thanks for your replies. We're driving so it is just the price of stay plus park tickets. I'll ring my travel agents and see if they can get disney to match the fr price.

Yay!!!!!!! Thanks again for your advice! I've just rang my travel agent with the fr price and she rang disney direct. They've beat that price for two nights plus they're honouring the free half board too! £301 for 2 extra nights half board! My quick trip just became a 6 day holiday!! We won't get another term time Disney holiday so making the most of it... Better ring Eurotunnel now and see what the damage is there.....

Great news...sometimes you just have to stick to your guns (metaphorically speaking of course...this IS Disney!) to get the best deal for you. Have a wonderful trip.
