Its good to knwo though that we can add via Disney if we want.

I'm very jealous of the amount of trips you've done to DLP . I've only been once, but can't wait to go again x
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

i have that problem too my son is 14 in 16 days and when we go on the 31st it will be our 14th time lol!!!

Could anyone please advise, we normally get the eurostar direct to dlrp, but we have decided to visit again around November, to go direct to dlrp is twice the price of going to Paris, we have been into Paris a few times on the RER, do you think its worth the saving the money and just going to Paris then the RER into Disney. Anyone else done it this way. Thanks

Im doing it in a few weeks time. i think it will be if you are saving money but thats just my opinion!!

We have done it once or twice in the past and I think it's a hassle, I would never take the EuroStar to Paris and then the RER onto Disneyland and have to haul my luggage around. Do you book the train with EuroStar, because that works out cheaper than booking the train with Disney?

grovesie · July 17, 2012, 04:57:24 PM

It depends on how much luggage you have and how many of you travelling. Personally for me it's the Eurostar every time, but then there's 7 of us that travel( and all 5 cases and extra hand luggage).

I find it a chore if we do not get the direct train. But if cost is an issue the better to go than stay at home

Hi there, thanks for the replies, I book direct with eurostar, but because i've left it late I just looked at the November train prices online direct to Disney then just to Paris.
I will have to ring Eurostar for the direct prices for the end of November but when I booked our last trip in May the eurostar rep said they were allready taking bookings for November :shock:
We took a trip into Paris and there had been an accident on the line when we were trying to get back, we couldnt believe how packed the train was, you had to squeeze on and try not to get your backside stuck in the doors!!!. We tried to get on 3 trains before there was enough room.
I think ive just talked myself into getting a direct train.

Hi, dont know if this has already been said but Eurostar direct to Disney can be booked 120 days in advance

I booked ours in March for travelling August. Always booked through Eurostar as cheaper than going through Disney. We have stayed in Paris once and then went onto Disney on the RER, it is a huge hassle and had to stand alll the to the park.

Just phoned to check how far in advance you will be able to book for when dates are released on 7th August as im looking to book for May 2013. Lady said they will be up to July 2013 if anyone is thinking of booking that far in advance, should get a good price if you get in early

Oh no!! Just had a look at your other post, you weree looking at feb half-term weren't you? Have you tried playing with the dates? The prices go up as people book tickets so maybe try looking at the day you leave as tickets could be less.

I'm on hold at the moment, ten minute wait they are saying!!

They have left it so late that i suppose everyone is desperate to book now!!! Just hoping May is ok [-o<

Feb 1/2 term.

My mum phoned at 8 to book .

She got through at 8.07 and the price had gone up.

I just phoned to ask why ( as you do ) and the lady said they only had a few £69 seats . Lots of people have complained and they are asking why so few seats at that price.

I spoke to a manager and said I am so upset as I was told last week it would be no more than £89 so as a single mum of 4 have budgeted carefully.

She took my details, and is phoning me back. Going to trace my call from last week.

Oh and the lines opened at 8 am not 9 hence the £69 seats going. I said my email said 9 am so from 9 alot of people are going to be phoning and going to be very disapointed.
Had to forward my email saying 9 am to the manager as well.

Hope you get your tickets ok.

You'll need to come back on here and say if you do get them ok.

Fingers crossed for you
