Anyone know how long in advance you can book/enquire about prices online. Maybe its me :confused3 but i can't get past march !

Also is it cheaper to get the hotel/passes separately, or use disney's classic packages ?

Thanks,
em

You can book up to 4 months in advance so the 15th of May if you book today.

You can book the Eurostar to Disneyland six months in advance but you have to put Disneyland in the destination box before you put in your dates. It is letting you book up until July at the moment. http://www.eurostar.com/dynamic/_SvBoExpressBookingTerm?_TMS=1137408101547&_DLG=SvBoExpressBookingTerm&_LANG=UK&_AGENCY=ESTAR

Which hotel were you thinking of staying at, a Disney one or one of the off-site ones? If you are planning to stay at one of the Disney hotels some people prefer to book their complete package inclusive of transport with Disney (or other tour operators), others book their hotel/park tickets package and arrange their transport themselves. If you are planning on staying at one of the off-site hotels ie. the Holiday Inn, Explorers it can work out cheaper to book the hotel/transport/park tickets yourself. Depending on how long your stay is it may work out worth your while to purchase annual passes. http://www.dlp.info/Guide/Guest-Info/Annual-Passports/index.html

When we've booked direct with Disney we've always paid for the transport via them just for convenience more than anything. However, booking direct with Eurostar saves a fair bit of money.

Also, may be of interest - Kids go free on Eurostar throughout May 2006.

And it means you can use the Express Luggage service for your luggage so you don't have to deal with it yourself and can go straight to the parks. By the time we have taken the bus to the Explorers and checked in, it is getting on for around 3.30 to 4pm before we can get back to the park. No big deal for us as we go for at least 5 nights but if you are on a shorter stay ie 2 nights, it can make a big difference to your time then.

Thanks for pointing that out Joanne, that can be a big saving. :)
