I know this has probably been posted before but I'd thought I'd share the latest experience.

I have just booked 1 night at Santa Fe for May this year for me and Mrs B.

To book this through the UK Disney web site would have cost £446.50 - this is for one night plus two days two park tickets.

I have just booked it through the Disneylandparis.fr web site and have paid, after converting it to UK pounds for exactly the same room and tickets, - £249.65


ALMOST £200 DIFFERENCE !!!!!!!!!!! for one night ! - that is just taking the p***

i'm glad you got a price you were happy with on the french DLP site - DLP offers different discounts to different countries, based on that country's guests stay habits at DLP. For example, most UK visitors to DLP don't just stay one night, they stay at least 2, but more commonly 3 or more, so the good discounts on the UK site tend to kick in at 3 or 4 nights stay duration.

French guests however, more local to DLP, will stay one night, and so the French DLP site does get discounts on one night or more onsite.

As you know, anyone can book on any country's site, regardless of where you reside, so its definitely worth checking other coutnry's websites before making your final decision .

Not really, it can work the other way too.

1 night stays generally aren't good value as they don't often come under offer.

When there's under 12s free on the French site it's cheaper for us to book through there but if there's a 2 nights free offer on the UK site that's our better option.

Glad you've managed to find yourself a good price using the French site too

It's definitely always worth checking & just booking whichever works cheapest for your specific requirements.

For example, May 10th to May 14th, 2 adults staying at Santa Fe is over 1000 euros on the French site or £739.64 on the UK site including a half board package.

I just booked through the French site tonight too. I got our hotel for €400 less than on the Irish site. Crazy difference.

Have to agree, refuse to book through the UK site now as it's such a difference!

Latest one is 3 nights for 3 adults at the Sequioa Lodge in December for £420 in comparison to £700 on the UK site!
