So does this just relate to tickets or hotel/ticket packages and what does it mean for those who book via French or other EU sites?

It looks like it a rehash of old news. Disney have always said you can book under any countries deals regardless of where you live. Don't need a foreign credit card to do so either

It's a slow news day story, my blog covered this story in May and way back in March 2011 when Welsh MEPs criticised Disneyland paris pricing Policy

I saw the news clip on the news this morning.

A couple of months ago I did a comparison on 4 nights at Disneyland Hotel with tickets and breakfast for 3 and the same was 400 Euros less on the french site, but it was still out of our price range anyway @£3,500 and that was without transport, add transport £600 = TAKING THE MICKEY (sos)

But as DLP says you can book under any countries offer by calling their central reservations line.

It looked cheaper when comparing the prices in EU vs USD when I checked a few months ago!

TBH with the way the Euro is against the pound, it will probably be cheaper to book under the Euro currency for a while

I´ve read this in our local German newspaper today and they mentioned that the normal prices are all the same. Only the special offers are different from country to country.

Hmmmm........

Exactly, there might be a slight difference for the UK due to the conversion but when they run deals its obvious the country with the deal will be cheaper

This is not new is it? Seems to only have risen up again due to an MP trying to raise his profile by highlighting an 'issue'.

If I bought something from a EU Apple Website it would probably be cheaper.
