I'm planning my next trip to the Magic via Eurostar from St Pancras to Disneyland using the Direct service and was thinking of upgrading to Leisure Select.
Can anyone advise me if Eurostar Leisure Select is worth the extra cost?

Can let you know after our trip. We only upgraded on the way back as it was only going to cost us £10.00 extra. They way there it was another £70 or something like that.
So we will experience both.

As far as i know you get fed there and back (no idea what the food is like) and a bigger seat and usually the carriage is quieter.

On the journey out with Leisure Select you get Breakfast, sausage,scrambled egg,tomatoes, also organic yougurt, french bread, croissants, tea/coffee or hotchoc. Return journey we had fruit juice,chicken,potatoes and veg ,fruit tart,wine,chocs and hot drinks, You ca ask for veggie/childrens option when booking.There was 4 familys on our carriage going and 3 coming back so very quiet and you could stretch out.Whether it is worth the extra money I think it is but this my personal opinion.

we have gone leisure select a few times, the food is always nice and the chairs are more comfy and the carriage is always nice and quiet :goodvibes. this is the main reason we use it as like the peace!!! We thinks its worth the extra money if you can afford it, if not its only 2.5 hours on the train and you can bring sandwhiches :thumbsup2

Yes St Pancras does have an underground station. The station's full name is Kings Cross St. Pancras Undergound Station.
It is the largest undergound station in London and has the Hammersmith & City line, the Circle line, Metropolitan lines, Northern line, Piccadilly line and the Victoria line running through it.
It is located in Travelcard Zone 1.
Hope that helps.

Leisure Select is sounding very tempting. On our last trip Disney split up our seats on the retrun journey and so we were sitting at either end of the same carriage.

We've only ever travelled leisure select and love it. Originally this happened because when we went to book our first trip all the standard tickets on our return journey had been allocated for travel agents and it worked out cheaper to travel both ways leisure select. Unfortunately it does sort of spoil you ......... ;)
The meals are very good and it's so nice to have proper cutlery and crockery (unlike on a plane) and the peace and quiet is priceless. On some journeys we have been the only ones in our carriage.
Try it ~ I'm sure you'll love it but if not, then you'll know for the next time.
