Who do you book with?

[Lavenderlamb]

Well, okay, we've only been back from WDW less than a week, but DH still has Mouse-Fever (well, don't we all in one way or another?).

So he's suggested a last minute trip to DLP to boost the Disneyness he's currently lacking.

I've done a Google search on DLP, but can't seem to find exactly what I want, so I was wondering for those of you who do go to DLP, who do you book through? Do you go directly through Disney, or are there bargains to be had out there like when going to WDW?

Thanks one and all!

Lavenderlamb, we always book through DLP themselves from the official broucure. We did some research once and found for the accomodation/Eurostar package that we wanted they were the cheapest but that was a while ago. I rang recently for a quote for 4 nights 5 days In The Disneyland Hotel Castle Club and was quoted nearly £1,300 but for Standard room was £650! Half the price due to the 4 for the price of 3 offer which isn't available on Castle Club!

We have aways found Travel Choice/ Sovreign to be the cheapest maybe by as much as £50 to £100 per person.

I'd suggest you go down to your travel agents and check out the brochures :)

We book direct over the phone. You can get a quote online at www.disneylandparis.com

i used paris travel service for a DLP trip (i returned yesterday) they have offers on in their brochures in addition to the standard offers

so i got 4 nights for the price of 3, £50 off the booking (p.t.s offer) plus 5% as i booked it through goldfish travel service!! (plus i get £50 off my next booking :D :D)

i also got a nice wallet, dlp guide and some nice baggage labels!!! :D

if you book direct with Disney then you can only book their packages eg you have to use the direct eurostar. So if this will be a problem, then you have to look elsewhere!

i then decided to book accomodation, and separate bmibaby flights but for the same price as doing it separately P.T.S included the VEA shuttle in their package, so less the £50 discount P.T.S were the cheapest.

They offer all types of packages in their brochure.

We have always booked with Cresta Holidays through a brochure from the travel agents.
We have always got a good price and at most of the hotels kids stay free.They usual do a 'stay 3 nights get 4th free' offer.

We too are suffering from Disney withdrawal symptoms and i picked up the latest brochure this week to work out some figures.
We can stay onsite at the Disneyland Hotel in January (4 of us) for 3 nights including Eurotunnel and park entry and character breakfast fro £974.Or we can stay offsite at a local hotel for 4 nights including passes for £572.

Just got to persuade DH now!!!!!

I thought online would be the best way, but I was wrong. I printed off exactly what I wanted from the DLP website (Newport Bay, water view) and took it along to my local travel agents. She called Bridge and Cresta who were not happy to quote without transport but did, and Cresta ended up beating the website price by quite a lot. So my advice would be to arm yourself with as much info as you can, then let your travel agent do the phoning :) And you can always book the best one you found yourself if you need to :)
As for transport, we went from East Midlands airport with BMI, but since they introduced BMIBaby, it's even cheaper!
If you have the time and the patience, you can get a great deal!

I'm guessing all these flights go to CDG airport which I understand is 20miles or so from Dlp?

How do you get from the airport to disney? taxi or what?

I was really disappointed with dlp but every now and again I think perhaps I didn't give it enough of a chance and with easyjet flights costing £17 at some times!

We're going for the second time in Dec. It seems that the best way to go is through DLP direct. They seem to have some good mid-week offers on at the mo, and flying with someone like EasyJet is only costing us about £50 return!!

Transfers from CDG are 15/20 euros each adult and apparently shouldn't take more than 35 mins. But aren't pre bookable!

It's cost us with insurance to stay for 3 nights in Hotel Cheyene (incl. flights and ins.) £183.00

Not bad, eh!!??

Best of luck!!

we used the VEA shuttle €14 adult and €11 (think) for child.

goes direct from airport to the usual disney hotels and picks you from the hotel.

as the above post states, the seats arent prebookable, so if you imagine that half the plane you have just been on are wanting to use the bus, it can get a bit chaotic when arriving. return to the airport *seem* to be better.

the other option is to catch the rer/metro train (?) to paris, and then change to RER A (red) to disney (marne le chessy). but you have to remember you'll have your luggage to carry, and it is only slightly cheaper.
