We have always booked Eurostar direct, as much cheaper than going through Disney. We have never booked disney express, we have on 3 occasions had 10 members of family to DLP travelling by Eurostar, and on each occassion the Disney staff have handed out activity packs to my son neice and nephew; the laugh is; the youngest one, my neice was 18 years old the first time we went together; but all 3 of them were quite happy to be given the packs,  which helped to pass the time. We did explain to the staff tht we had not booked the express, they obviously realised none of us were children but were happy to hand out the activity packs. :D

Booked my tickets through Disneyland Paris today after ringing Eurostar and them saying the tickets still weren't available!

I tried Disneyland Paris on the phone and they had them so I booked, and of course got Disney Express as well.

It seemed a bit steep (£386) but I'd rather know that they are booked and that's the main thing!!

Would be a little bit gutted if they are less than a hundred pounds when they do become available on Eurostar's website!!

Thats exactly why i booked mine with Disney. I have been waiting for ages to book direct for December but was told they wouldn't go on sale until late August! I paid over the odds too, i know they will be cheaper but have the peace of mind that travel is sorted. When are you going?

We will be there for my Birthday, I seem to be more excited than The Princess!!

How about you?

Do the prices vary alot for eurostar.
We are looking at staying at the adagio next Feb.
For 7 of us the price was coming up at £1,578 including eurostar. Today it has jumped up to £2,290.
The hotel price is still the same so it must be the eurostar.
We were going to book hopefully this week but not sure what to do now

Are you booking the Eurostar direct with Eurostar themselves or via Disney or another third party provider??  I know that Disney themselves overcharge for the Eurostar if you book thru them.

Eurostar tickets are available 10 months' in advance if you phone Eurostar and the more seats they sell the more expensive the remaining tickets become.

I would definitely phone Eurostar themselves and get a price quote.

Thank you. I will try phoning them direct now.
The quote we had was from disney direct although we will book through Thomas Cook as my dad gets a discount. Although if Eurostar direct is cheaper will book tickets that way.
Thank you so much

Eurostar direct will be much cheaper but they can only book up to about 10th dec at the moment and arent releasing any new dates til late August. If you are willing to wait you should as you can nearly always get return tickets for £69. The only time we have paid any more than that was last christmas

I did try phoning them and they have taken my details and will email when dates are to be released.

The lady I spoke to was lovely. She said because the dates/prices haven't been released yet Disney guess what the eurostar will be sp the price can go up or down.

She also explained about the train to Lille or else going to Paris and changing there if we couldn't get on the direct dlp train.

I'm going with my parnets so they can help look after my younger 2 whilst I take the older 2 on rides etc.

Does anybody know if we book the hotel now can we add eurostar with Disney at a later date ? To be honest it looks like eurostar direct will be the cheapest option though xx

I booked my holiday with Disney back in January and have just added the Eurostar with them as i got fed up waiting for them to be released by Eurostar. But they go up in price as the time goes on with Disney too. If you can hold out you'll get a much better deal with Eurostar direct

I have the Disney bug, sure you have or by the end of your next trip will too ;) Im lucky it's just me and Dylan, if he had brothers or sisters i don't think we'd have gone half as much. Plus i want to make the most of it as he'll be 13 this year and people keep asking what i'm going to do when he says he doesn't want to go to Disney any more :(

We went last March and I was looking at prices as soon as we got back.

Mine are 11,7,5 and 2 at the moment. We went with my parents so they could help with the younger ones.
Whilst I can manage on my own it would mean the older 2 would have to go on rides alone , and they all miss out on some rides.
My parents didn't enjoy going ( they prefer sight seeing hols) but have said they will come again, if its not to expensive!!

What was the disneyland hotel like? I'm planning another trip for summer 2015 when I'm 40 and would love to stay in that hotel.

I want to book now for feb 1/2 term . I'm so excited lol
