Eurostar any cheaper on phone?

[Demonica]

Another question, keeping you busy today!

The direct Ashford - Disneyland fares are available on Eurostar website for our potential Nov trip (£90 each way).

Are cheaper fares only available well in advance over the phone ie too late now?

Or are there any money off tips? Newspapers that do Eurostar vouchers that kinda thing?

Don't mind paying the £180 in any way but wanted to check before booking.

Best advice I can give is to try other days around the one you have tried (if possible) as the fares can go as low as £65 each way (depending on the amount of people in the party, mine was for 2 Adults and 1 Toddler)

I know that the Eurostar shop in Bluewater were doing BOGOF vouchers for the Eurostar but I don't think it included the Disneyland route.

Unfortunately I can't budge on dates as that's the only time my mum can babysit the anklebiters.

Thanks for the tips though :)

You can always ring up the Eurostar and ask if they have any cheaper seats available.

Demonica, shame about the dates but I know how you feel, arranging babysitting is a nightmare especially when the Grandparents find out where you are planning to go without them!! Have you tried booking the indirect train? Going to Paris or Lille and then catching a TVR to Disneyland may save a few pennies.

Haha yeah I just about got them to babysit, the youngest is a right handful too.

I've looked into Paris/Lille. Lille seemed to work out a similar price once adding in the TGV and Paris looked a bit stressful. As it's just the two of us getting a very, very rare break then it's tempting just to go down the easy direct route. We'd only be booking two nights so quick and stressfree is the order of the day.

you could always take a chance and wait a bit longer coz i booked my eurostar tickets coz the prices were going up then 2 weeks later they had gone right back down again...i wasn't happy!

You could try Expedia:

They link into the official site, but often these companies have reduced deals. Could be worth a shot
