    OT - Train from DLP to Central Paris with wheelchair

    We're in the midst of planning a trip for April and, to our shame, have never actually gone into Paris on any of our previous trips. We're looking to stay a bit longer this time and fancy a day into Paris. Our eldest (11) is in a wheelchair so we're just trying to work out the best way to do it...

    Cable Car Bake Shop/Cookie Kitchen - reviews

    Cable Car Bake Shop is a must for us. Every day without fail we go into the park for EMH then just before 10am and the arrival of the masses, we go to Cable Car Bake Shop for hot chocolate and a Mickey brioche before heading over to the Studios to let the initial rush calm down. It's a lovely...

    Difference between Easy Access Card & Disabled Priority Card

    Thanks very much everyone, especially your info, Purdy. It does sound that it's going to have a negative impact on family holidays. We haven't been since last April but even then, we found the disabled ride rules much more restrictive. The parks were really quiet but despite this we were...

    Difference between Easy Access Card & Disabled Priority Card

    Hi there, We're long time visitors to DLP and have a disabled son so are always issued with an Easy Access Pass. For some reason, I've just been having a look through all the disabled guest bumph on the official website and noticed that they now issue either an Easy Access Pass OR a...

    Help with packing please...

    Definitely don't think you'll need winter jackets next week as the temperature is looking like being in the 20s :) Towels are provided in the Cheyenne so I'd just look at taking fairly lightweight clothes with perhaps a thin jacket or jumper for the mornings. If you've got a travel kettle...

    Struggling with our food plans for next week

    Thanks for that. Yeah, we usually tend to do an early breakfast then splurge on a huge lunch and just have a snack later on. Might do a big lunch on the Tuesday once we arrive as we'll have been up early travelling, then go for an evening meal on the Wed - might even do the hotel buffet...

    Struggling with our food plans for next week

    We really can't make up our mind where to eat next week. It's been almost 2 years since our last trip but we've only got a flying 2 night trip this time. We'll arrive at the parks around 1130am on Tuesday and leave about 430pm on Thursday. We've just gone for Half Board Standard this time as...

    Arrive Sunday or Monday?

    We're in Scotland and always do the drive to Folkestone, stay overnight then Eurotunnel on the Sunday. We've always arrived on a Sunday and there's never been a problem with the parks being too crowded or busy. We tend to arrive in the parks around 12ish, have a quick wander, some lunch then...

    Offer increased to up to 25% off

    Typical :rolleyes: Just booked a couple of days ago before the offer changed. We go in a couple of weeks so no good cancelling and rebooking.

    Driving to DLP - any hints and tips please?

    Hi Gemma, It's a really easy route and road to drive. You'll barely even notice you're on the other side of the road most of the time. You'll need headlamp deflectors that you can buy in Halfords, most supermarkets or as part of a European driving kit that you can buy. Don't put them on...

    Need some help re annual passport/how many needed/disabled

    I emailed DLP to ask them about how the AP works for disabled guests and carers and this was the response I had: The email address I used was: DLP.CRO.SPECIAL.NEEDS@disney.com I'll be sure to take a print out of the email with me incase they claim otherwise.

    Need some help re annual passport/how many needed/disabled

    Thank you! I'm glad my mushy brain didn't rub off on you ;) I think that's going to be the best way but I'll have a look at a few other permutations and see what works out best.

    Need some help re annual passport/how many needed/disabled

    Hi there, I wonder if someone would be able to give me a little bit of help as my brain is hurting trying to work out what to do for the best! When we go to DLP, we usually just purchase a package. However, in April, we're going to be popping over for just 1 night (2 days in the parks) so...

    Halloween night event

    The official website showed that event as being sold out a few days ago. Not sure how accurate this is or whether other tickets will be released.

    Driving to DLRP

    We've never used a SatNav. If you go to www.viamichelin.com and put Calais as your start and Disney at your destination, it'll give you the directions in a really easy to read way. It does it by giving you all the road signs, telling you which exit/direction to follow on the signs. We used that...

    Driving to DLRP

    We always drive as well and it's much more relaxing than airports, flights, delays, shuttles etc :) We normally get the Eurotunnel at around 8am and are in the parks by lunchtime. 3 hours from Calais to Disney without any problems. We don't stop at any of the service stations but there are...

    How many take out travel insurance?

    Have a look at Travelbility. http://www.travelbility.co.uk/ We found that Post Office claimed they'd cover my son for his condition but when we really examined the policy, he wouldn't have been adequately covered at all. My son has quite a severe disability with a very high probability of...
