Hi we are hoping to go to Disney for Halloween monday 26th for 2 nights, we live in Yorkshire and thinking of using the eurostar for the first time, is it better to book now or hold on to see if any special offers will become available.

I'm not an expert by any means but in my experience I found the prices offered earliest by eurostar are usually the cheapest...they seem to rise closer to the date your travelling...
we're heading in June and booked our eurostar at the beginning of March, 110 pound for 2 adults, same tickets if you book now are 215 pound!!!

we travelled from Durham to DLP last October via train. We booked early with National Express East Coast Rail and got great priced tickets to travel down, not sure if they've been released yet but you can register your email address to get notifications when travel dates are released and we booked as soon as we could with Eurostar. We had a stop over at London when travelling out and coming back and it was probably one of our best trips ever :goodvibes We didn't purchase the Disney Express but I wish I had but I guess that depends on what you want to do and your time of arrival. I'm not sure if you're a member of quidco but at the minute they are offering cashback for tickets purchased :) Happy Planning :)

I must say halloween is an amazing time to visit, we loved it :lovestruc

Halloween is just fantastic. I think it is always best to get it booked and sorted, then sit back and look forward to the holiday. I panic too much if I think the transport isn't booked or hotel.

Big cheer for Yorkshire.

Don't want to worry you, but we're going out on the 26 October and when I bought my Eurostar tickets (about 3 weeks ago) the woman told me they had very few left for that date. Of course she could have just been saying that to justify the high price she was charging me (£270 return for 1 adult and 1 youth(12 years old))

I'd probably try and get your tickets now if you can. I booked mine a few weeks ago over the phone and although they were for the beginning of October, they were a really good price at £65. They also told me that the ticket price goes up the less seats there are available.

Enjoy Halloween! It's a great time to visit the parks :thumbsup2

We booked ours for July back in March at £65 per adult. They are already up to £80 a seat and we don't go till mid July. I'm hoping they go sky high so I feel good about booking early lol :-)

The earlier you book the better. There are a certain number of seats at the lowest price, and once these are sold they bump up the price to the next level and so on. You could end up paying twice the price if you leave it too long. If you are certain of your dates then book asap. If not, play around with a few different dates and see if there is a difference - we moved our holiday forward 4 days and saved £40 each.:yay:
