How much does the eurostar cost?

[Sundancer UK]

I have tried and tried but can not get the website to work. I'm not going to call or anything because I'm looking out of curiousity rather than anything else - we are planning a trip to WDW and wont have the money for DLP for years after!

Anyway, I can work out how much it would be for my husband and myself to stay at DLP but not how much to get there!

So bearing in mind I don't need a specific - just a ballpark figure from London?

Thanks for putting up with me!

Rule of thumb : the sooner you book, the cheaper it gets.


there is a direct train leaving London at 10:15 (uk time) and arriving in Marne La Vallée at 2pm (french time)
all other trains have a change


if you book 1 month in advance, the fare is £64.50 (non flexible = non refundable, non exchangable)
you also have the semi flexible rate, (exangable before departure for a fee) at £89.50
and the fully flexible (exchangable, refundable, up to 2 months after scheduled departure) £139.50

those prices are PER PERSON, and ONE WAY

a return ticket purchased one month in advance will be roughly £200 (prices will depend when you travel, weekdays or weekend days)

if you book more in advance, like 2 or 3 months, a one way ticket can get as low as £34.50 (per person, one way, indirect) or stay at £64.50 (one person, one way, direct)
there are also fares at £114.50 one way, at peak times.

so for a return trip on eurostar, your ballpark figure is somewhere between £70pp and £200pp depending on how soon you book, holidays, days of the week.
prices can change rather dramatically

If you book as early as possible you can get adult direct returns from £69 and children £49.

Wow that's actually much less than I thought! Makes a nice change lol

Thanks very much!

but getting the £69 return tickets is nigh on impossible in my experience. You have to be VERY lucky to get them i think. its all in the timing.

on 2 previous eurostar trips ive never been lucky enough to get them even though ive rung eurostar and e-mailed them constantly to make sure i booked my tickets as soon as they were released. i think i have had them for around the £99 mark in the past.

my first eurostar trip cost £357 but my last trip cost £267 for 2 adults and one child so its all in the timing.

I think it all depends when you schedual your trip. I always go out of peak season in either March, May, June or early December avoiding UK school holidays and always get Eurostar tickets for £69 return.

Being flexible with your dates can help as well.

i concur!

with all the money the eurostar must make, you would think they would invest in a better website.

its the slowest website i have ever been on (and ive been on some right dodgy sites i can tell you, but dont tell the wife obviously)

I know, its ridiculous! Even worse on my tablet, the mobile site doesn't even give Disneyland as an option!

And I will tell your wife, when we're on the eurostar on16th March lol

We have booked 3 months in the past before and it was not that low, it was a lot more than that as we ended up paying £450 for 2 adults and 1 child.


I have paid around £35 each way when we have booked 6 months in advance.

I have only travelled by Eurostar once and paid £34.50 each way mine was sort of last minute too but that was a few yrs back. Im fortunate as my crew mates husband works for Eurostar so I could get a cheap ticket through them
