Can't book Eurostar for December yet?

[Tinkjon]

Got up early, all excited to check for prices over Christmas. But there's no option to add transportation which is presumably because Eurostar haven't released their winter timetable/prices yet (there's nothing available on the Eurostar site either). Anybody know when Eurostar are likely to release these dates? It's frustrating to finally get the disney prices but have no transport prices!

phone Eurostar - they have their fares and timetables to book by phone months before they appear on their website.

I have today booked our hotel and tickets direct with Disney, SL has cost £1321.96 for 6 adults and 2 children for 4 nights. We booked our Eurostar separately as heard Disney charge more, that was £512 for the 5 of us, we have pre allocated seats all together. So £1833.96 in total.

Have you priced up your trip individually to compare? I've read it often saves money to do it all separately?

That's strange, I wonder why you could get Eurostar for March but I can't get it for December?!

I recently priced up a September trip and it was about £200 cheper to book Eurostar separately (ie. not through Disney) but I'm always worried about booking separately - what if I book my hotel but then the Eurostar is fully booked, or vice versa?! I don't think you can put a temporary hold on either, can you?

I always book separately, and have never had that problem, as along as you book your Eurostar tickets on the day they are released you get them for the cheapest price normaly £69 return per adult for standard seats.

I always book my travel and hotel completely separately, and never on the same day (or month usually). ie when theres a sale on my flights, I book them for the dates I want. Then I peruse the web for my hotel choices.
For my trip next month, I booked the flights in January, and didnt book the hotel until 3 weeks ago when they came up in a sale .

i rang eurostar earlier and they couldnt give me any details as to when the prices will be released the guy just said they were done in blocks

im gunna leave it a few weeks and keep an eye on the hotel if the worst comes to the worst i book a cheaper hotel and upgrade during a flash sale

the last time we booked seperately had no problems and got nearly two hundred pounds off by doing so

i guess im just really impatient lol
