Confused about Disney Express

[louweasel]

We are visiting DRLP Friday 28th for 2 nights staying at the Santa Fe. I booked the package through a local travel agent and they booked the Eurostar tickets and the hotel separately as it was cheaper that way. I'd heard you could add on Disney Express (through this forum) so added that at £14 per adult. Travel agent says it works with us taking our luggage to the Disney Express desk at the station when we get there, and we will then be given our park tickets. Anyone know if this is right?
Also, will we check in to our hotel at the Disney Express desk? I'm worrying about breakfast - We want an early morning breakfast to make best use of EMH - if we go to the park and don't arrive at the hotel 'til late will all the early breakfast slots have gone? And when could we book GMFB if we want to do that one morning?
Thanks

Hi louweasel
In the past we've joined at Ashford and have been given our tickets onboard the Eurostar, but that has been when booked as a package, I would've thought that would also be the case for you but can't be sure.
At DLRP you have to take your luggage to the Express Desk yourself anyway, so if the Travel Agent is right and you have to collect tickets from there it's no problem. Last time we used Eurostar our documents weren't on the train so we picked up temporary park passes at the Desk.
You still need to check in at your hotel, you won't be given your hotel room key until you reach the hotel. I don't think you'll have a problem getting an early breakfast, it's the ones after 8.00 that seem to get most booked up and the restaurants are much quieter earlier, we've never had a problem truning up earlier than out allotted time. You will also be able to book the GMFB at hotel checkin, subject to availibilty.
Hope this helps.
Jill.
