Hi my family and I were pricing the end of October for Halloween, we were planning a 4 night 5 day stay, staying at the hotel Cheyenne. We priced this at the 13/02/2014 and it came in at £927. { if we added half board standard it then came to £1170. Now this new promotion has  started with the 2 days free, upto 30% off and free half board it now prices at £1350. >:(   WHY MORE EXPENSIVE WITH THESE SO CALLED EXTRA OFFERS IN THIS PROMOTION. >:( I am going to ring Disney direct my self and ask them why this is, I will let you all know there response, a very disgruntled Disney fan.

Just got off the telephone from Disneyland Paris about this current offer, I was a bit surprised by there response that the previous offer include 2 days free. I explained that we as a family checked all the pricing for this holiday in October a 2 day stay, 3 day stay and a 4 day stay, and the 2 extra days free only applied when you booked a 4 day stay on the previous promotion, having priced it for all the above days even if you doubled the price of a 2 day stay it came in less than it is coming in at now and that's including half board. The lady was not able to comment on this and said I needed to contact admin.

The price has shot up since the promotion changed to the current 30% offer. Monday I tried 4 nights in Oct coming up at £686 in Sequioa & now it's £918 for the same x

in my experience, these 2 days free or free half board deals never quite work out as being free, the holiday always increases in price, sometimes quite drastically in price.

Green days will give you cheaper :)


Red higher and purple the worst pricing.


£722 for two adults two kids during October for Cheyenne or Santa Fe including half board, depends on ages and the such as well.

Thanks for the calendar colour code range chart, however my childrens school half term falls Halloween week. { higher price band }. Like I said in my first post having priced this before the current promo and still having the prices written down for all possible days 2,3 and 4 stays. I know exactly how much Disney have increased this current promo by, even though the telephone operator stated previous promo included 2days free { that is if you book a 4 night stay } and she agreed, that's when I informed her that even if I would of booked 2 separate 2 night stays consecutively the previous promo would have not applied and it would still have been at least £300 to £400 cheaper than now and then that's when she told me to email admin.

Our last 5 stays since August last year have been Explorers x 2, Magic Circus x 2 (because our APD discount in the Disney hotels was pants) and 1 x Disneyland Hotel because the discount was 45%. It's getting ridiculous how expensive DLRP is now unless you plan your trips outside of school holidays and peak periods. Wifey, daughter and I all have APD's which with our shareholders discount cost us 169€ each but we have saved much much more in discount than we paid for the AP's in August 2013. Next month we are staying in a Davy Crockett cabin for 3 nights, 3 adults, 2 17 yr olds and a 10 yr old, the online direct with Disney price was £1600+, we have got it for £498 and worked out that the park hopper tickets for the non AP holders is £273 which is £771 altogether. Not bad for Sunday to Wednesday in the Easter holidays.
