I am looking at booking again for next year but am limited on agents to use and ways to travel as me being a wimp am terrified of flying.
I thought about euro star but hwo long are you in the dark tunnel?
Last time we went to Cardiff on the train we stopped in a dark tunnel for half an hour as there was some problem and I had a huge panick attack so havent been on a train since.
Or does anyone know of any coach companies other than Leger who go to disneyland (onsite) as I dont think 3 days in the park is enough and Leger dont do longer stays.

It takes about 30mins to pass through the tunnel.

Try coachholidays.com or Gold Crest holidays - no idea what they're like though!
It's about 30 mins in the tunnel, but to be honest if you were chatting you wouldn't even know you were in a tunnel. DH is in exactly the same position as you - can't fly, has bad panic attacks at any time really, and he can manage Eurostar although he doesn't like it.
Of course I guess it could be stopped in the tunnel, we never have been

Hi,
Ive been on Eurostar twice now in the past year. Dont drive so this is the best way for us to get there. Im terrified of flying. so that is def a no no for me.
I was worried i must admitt when i first went on the Eurostar as im not keen....really dislike actually:lmao: tunnels.
But i enjoyed both the trips. Like someone said its only around 30mins in the tunnel it went very quick and i felt fine wasnt worried in the slightest. You wanna see me on the tubes in London:scared1: i have panic attacks on them, i was stuck in tunnel for only about 10mins but i hated it!
I also hate lifts, i will not go in them unless i really really have to, i cant even shop for my sons clothes on my own in town due to the clothes being upstairs and being with a pushchair its quite difficult on your own! Hotels....dp and ds go in lift i climb the stairs by myself:lmao:
I Honestly didnt mind the Eurostar at all, i think it is a great way to travel:)
I went by coach in 2003, it was a 3 day trip, one day in parks 2 days travelling!:scared1: didnt enjoy it at all! it seemed to take forever, we had to pick up several different parties on the way!. I dont think i could do it that way again.

Yes thats same here 3 days in park and 2 days travelling!
You sound like me I have panick attacks in tunnels and when I said half hour before it was probably only 10 mins but I was hysterical and crying and kept screaming Im going to die, its really embarassing.
I cant go in lifts either, our last stay at DLP was at Dream Castle. They had no stairs just a lift. Everyone went to the room alone whilst I went to find the stairs to discover there wasnt any and then had to get in the lift on my own it was terrifying. wasnt so bad after when i had dp, sis her bf, dd and nephew with me but still scary
I know what you mean about 10mins feeling alot longer! my mum said she is going to carry brown paper bags with her incase i cant breathe:rotfl2:
I stayed in santa fe and SL both were ground floor rooms so i was ok.:) even though i went in the world trade center's lift! now that was really scary:scared1: but i was ok once at the top.
You decided which way to get there yet? The time does really go quick on the Eurostar, it doesnt seem to take long at all to get to the tunnel! :)

Lilacgems if you go see your doctor they'll be able to prescribe a mild sedative, to help calm you down when you travel.
We have some patients that we prescribe them to, before they come see us, (dentist).
