I've already spoken to one. Waste of time!! They only have a percentage of £60 tickets and when they have all gone thats it! He checked 4 days before and after the day i wanted and none available.

Was so annoyed!!! Nothing he can do though, he said he cant reduce the price, it is what it is! Gutted, haven't booked them but dont want to cancel. Dont know what to do now!

I cant believe that everone has a price of £140. All that tells me is there are so few £69 tickets!!! But sounds like they go from £69and once they've gone it's £140.
Was so looking forward to going in May thi8nk i am just going to have to book it! Was thinking maybe i'd change to Oct and go for Halloween again but it looks like it will be an issue with the Eurostar again if everyone is having problems now!

we originally was going to book through nectar as had saved £200 of points and booked this way before.  i phoned them first and the price was coming out just under £500!!!  looks like we'll be spending the nectar points on our household shop instead and finding the money we've paid to eurostar.  i've sent an email complaining that their information email to me that detailed me as a 'valued customer' had incorrect information in it and if it had been correct I'd have phoned at 8am not 9!

just thinking... the holiday companies and disney themselves that get an allowance of seats on the train probably take the £69 ones and pocket the difference between that and the extortionate price they charge to travel as part of a package!

my £403 is still cheaper than the Disney prices were though and I have been booked on a table so know we'll be sitting together unlike some of the stories on this thread!

I got mine reduced to £89 because the manager listend to my call and heard the guy say they would be no more than £89 !

Oh thats brilliant! So pleased for you  
I cant do that cos i originally wanted December and changed to May. I paid the £149 each

am glad the manager sorted it, shows it's good that we're recorded sometimes!  

just out of interest I went on the disney site and my travel would have been over £700 if had booked through them.

this is also my first instance of travelling in school holidays - everyone else puts their prices up so would expect a smaller amount of low price tickets to be available.  still annoying though as hadn't budgeted them to be at that price :-(

I was thinking earlier that if you book via disney you can now book up to xmas 2013,

When I phoned eurostar the very first time the lady I spoke to said that because Eurostar don't release prices that far ahead Disney can charge whatever.She said they work out a rough cost going on previous prices then add more on and basically just go with it.

If we had paid the £149 that my mum was quoted ( at 8.07 am ) for all of us including the hotel it would be £1,650 but if we booked it all through Disney it would have been £2,200 ish so would have still been cheaper to do it this way.

But its frustrating to be told a price and then find out its a lot more

I think it would be worth us emailing to complain so that they are aware.

Anyway what i was going to say at the beginning about Disney charging whatever and the fact you can book till next xmas is that Disney must reserve x amount of seats as they can't have people booking through them and then not getting seats. So I reckon Disney do get a % of the cheaper seats.

The lady I spoke to first did say they were all shocked at eurostar at how  few £69 seats there had been ( sorry if I have said that earlier).

[kelly.dylan]

Our trip in may would have cost an extra £500 to add  the Eurostar on so we've saved in that respect but like you say it's frustrating!
I said to someone earlier if it was the first time you had booked and didn't know there were £69 seats available you'd probably be happy with that price.
We've never been in May before and we do go during school holidays and the day we leave is a bank holiday so suppose you have to factor that all in aswell! Just such a downer when you've waited so long and think if you book as soon as they are available you'll get a good deal!

[haribosmum]

Dates are available online now as well (certainly for Feb half term anyway) and prices did come back the same as I paid this morning.

Did you phone up and book? I want seats for May but only available til Oct online?

[kelly.dylan]

I phoned but they are online up to July if you are going direct to Disney. I booked 27th may 2013.
