    Half board, is it worth it?

    I think it probably depends on how/ when/ where you'd normally eat at Disney and also, when abouts in the year you're going. We went for Half Board Plus and were really glad we did. I think it worked out at about £20 each a day last September (two adults). The benefits for us were: -You...

    Cheapest place to have a drink in DLP

    As others have said, the Cheyenne and Santa Fe bars are considerably cheaper than the other hotels' for the same price. I'd always go to the Cheyenne though - the Santa Fe's was just like a roped off corner of the room, whereas the Cheyenne's is themed like a Western saloon. Pretty cool, really...

    Day trip to Paris

    Tout was probably the wron word, but they're the people who hang around at the main attractions (I've encountered them both at the SAcre Coeur and Eiffel Tower) who seem to want to trick you into having to pay them. I've never seen the trick actually work, but they seem to want to put some...

    Day trip to Paris

    oops, yeah, this is what I meant with all my babble about 10 journey tickets. Those are what you buy actually in Paris - d'oh :p

    Day trip to Paris

    1. I know the weather in May can be changeable but trying to figure what to pack? Anyone any ideas? Can't help you here, sorry! My general plan with changeable weather is to pack layers... and an umbrella - there are quite a few very 'open' places in Paris and if you're stuck in one of their...

    First trip to Disneyland Paris

    1. People who have been to Disneyworld Florida and then to Disneyland Paris, did you find it a disapointment? I think it depends what you're after from Paris. I worked at Florida so I'll always have a special place for it, but I do think there's something a little more magical about the Paris...

    Need a fab way of telling kids.

    I love this idea - would have totally loved it when I was a kid! (Would still love it now actually...). Also, presumably all the stores will start to do their Christmas displays soon so it could be worth going round and asking about whether you can have some of their old display material to do...

    Park Restaurants on a Sunday? And other half board plus restaurant recommendations.

    Quick question - I just tried booking Walts for Sunday evening and was told its last serving would be at 3:45. That's not a big deal, we can go another time, but just wondering whether this is likely to be the case for all table service restaurants on the Sunday if one is closing early? (Park is...

    Half board plus?

    I phoned up yesterday, yup, booking for the 13th - 17th Sept. As we booked during the 40% offer it's come up as cheaper as the SF is now even without the HB offer, let alone with adding the free meal deal onto it which would only be the equivalent to HB Standard. In-fact I think they were...

    Half board plus?

    Even if you can't get an upgrade, definitly phone up to quote a quote for HB. While it's not a huge saving, I just booked four nights for £156 for two adults on HB+, which is £19.50 p/night as opposed to the £21 quoted in the brochure (prices change in November, however, so this might have gone...

    Few Questions...Hope they haven't been asked before!

    If you're in Santa Fe you should be alright I think :) I think you just can't get it in HNY and DLH as it would essentially be a downgrade (no hot food, etc)

    The "I promise we'll go to Paris, too!" PTR

    Thanks for the tip on the Eiffel Tower - will make sure we get off the Metro there for the views :) The only other time I remember seeing it, it was December and a really foggy day so you couldn't really see it from anywhere except right infront of it. Looking forward to a totally different...

    O/T Disney Couture Jewellery

    Ooo there's so much money off them - I've wanted that fairest of them all and the castle necklace for ages (it's the Hollywood Princess Chavvy Disney lover in me...). The Kidada for DC stuff is lovely too... You temptress, ccoffe! And for what it's worth, I know of quite a few people who have...

    So is September busier than usual....

    Going on Sunday and hope not! Had a mild panic last night when I was pricing up options to see how much extra it would cost with the new food offer, and the Santa Fe, HNY and NPB said they were unavailable for the time we were there... Thought it was going to be having! Luckily they were back...

    SQL, Lodge location.

    Does the £80 extra include the free meals? Because if so I'd definitly go for HNY as you'd get an upgrade from HB+ to HB Premium. Otherwise I'm not really qualified to offer any advice on hotels at all! Although I remember loving the SQL pool when I was younger!

    How to get home now Eorostar doesn't run on Saturdays?!

    We had the same problem coming back this time, but on a Thursday. You could still by tickets from Paris itself for the same price, though, so we just booked a lateish one home (8:30pm) and are planning to get the Metro to Gare Du Nord - far cheaper than transfers from what we've worked out. I'm...

    The "I promise we'll go to Paris, too!" PTR

    So after almost three months of anticipating (and many more before that of 'should we/shouldn't we-ing) the time has (almost come) and in one week's time we'll be on the Eurostar heading towards Disneyland Paris! Which means it's about time to start getting really excited and do a trip report...

    Half board menus?

    Ah see I booked when the 40% offer was on for next week (!!!), and even if the offer was on at our hotel (Santa fe) - which for some reason it's not when we're there?! - it would still be cheaper to add on hb plus than upgrade :D so I'm just wondering whether it's worth adding it on to our...
