Hi so we've never ever stayed of-site but I'm aware some hotels have a complimentary shuttle bus to and from the parcs? Looking at a very last minute trip for 2 nights 2-4 September on a budget. Not looking for tickets included but preferably breakfast we need a room for 2 adults, 1 child (wheelchair user) so lifts in hotel is a must.

Any help id really appreciate Thankyou  :)

We've stayed in the Dream Castle a number of times and it was great. Very clean and spacious rooms. We've just booked a last minute trip going this Wednesday and looked to stay in the Dream Castle again, but it worked out cheaper to book a late deal staying at the Sequoia Lodge through the French website as they had a late booking deal maybe worth a look??
As for the shuttle bus it's literally a couple of minutes to the parks, I don't find it any different to the travelling between the Disney hotels.

Hi pixiedust! Have you considered an apartment or do you have your heart set on a hotel? We stay at the HiPark suites at Serris and find it really convenient. They have a complimentary shuttle bus (takes around 10 mins) and have lifts. You can pay extra for breakfast or you can bring your own food and make it yourself in your apartment which is what we tend to do :)

I'm staying in a partner hotel for the first time next week. I would love to know peoples opinions on the Dream Castle Hotel.

I stayed one night at the Radisson Blu which is located next to the Disneyland Golf terrain. It's easily reachable from the park by car. But having stayed at Sequoia Lodge and New York Hotel previously, it felt a bit weird to stay in a 'normal' hotel when visiting Disneyland. There's simply no magic to it. Next to that the rooms are bit dated (cigarette stains on the curtains for example) and the swimming pool is very small.

I have stayed at all four partner hotels and they were all very good,the only downside is they are not Disney themed.
The breakfast was good,the rooms were clean and spacious .
All four hotels were wheelchair friendly.

The Adagio is an apartment hotel. They serve breakfast, but for the best value take your own breakfast with you - there is a kitchen in each apartment. There is a free bus from a couple of minutes walk away - serves most of the hotels in Serris.
The Sejours et Affairs also has apartments and for one or two nights will work out cheaper - I'm not sure how far the bus stops from this hotel.

I'll look this one up also thanks  :) if it has microwave so can heat milk up I'll take wheatabix for my little fella that's fine!

Thankyou all so much for your comments and suggestions I will take them on board  :)
We've never ever stayed of-site and we are extremely lucky to be such reguar visitors to DLP and have a 5 day sequioa lodge stay this year still to go and DLH next year booked.

Things at home have been difficult and just thought (as my sons school is of for first week sept staff training I didn't know!) that we could possibly afford to stay of-site for a night or 2 have a one day visit to the park and maybe some sightseeing?

Funny thing is when I mentioned my idea to a friend they said they have a relative who has an apartment in Paris (not exactly sure where as yet) shes living in Canada and its empty right now so that'd be free. But I'm not sure how far Disneyland is from there as we've never been into central Paris before so this also is something to consider....

The Adagio has Microwave (with grill), fridge (with small icebox), four ring hob, sink and DISHWASHER!!
The Sejours has all of the above, with the exception of a dishwasher.

We always take a toaster.

Both hotels have lifts.

The Adagio is more expensive unless your staying for more than 4 or 10 nights (price per night is lower, the longer you stay) - we usually stay 10 nights as its cheaper than a week!

Seriously!? Hmm I must look into this and they can have a lot longer to explore Paris as all the years I've been going to DLP never have I been anywhere else in the vicinity  ::) thanks again! I'm going to check it out right away!

twentythingamabobs

Yep the Hipark has microwaves! And a toaster which is what we get the most use out of :) also has hot plates and I think there is a dishwasher too but we've never used it. Definitely recommend it, it's the only way we can afford 4 or 5 visits a year

littlebitofpixiedust

I'm not the only one who likes to visit regulary then!?  :D it's addictive I cannot wait to go back "home" 
Thanks a microwave and toaster wouldbe more than enough I wouldn't know how to use a dishwasher as don't own one! So I'll leave that well alone  :)
