How much of discount is package?

[nycdisneygal]

I need to book 2 rooms at DLP for 3 nights but tix only needed for 3 days as we leave for flight last morning (online giving 4 day ticket). It seems i have to call to book separately. Will that definitely be cheaper or is they a discount for the package ? Also, cant believe all the restaurants are already booked for late march! ugh

The packages are standard , and yes they are cheaper. Just suck it up and book a package, as thats how it is done in Europe.

Restaurant bookings open at 12 months in advance for onsite bookings, people with the hotel and ticket package. I did a friends and family trip in 2023, staying at Santa Fe Hotel. I booked the package 12 months in advance and did the restaurant bookings 10 months in advance and even then I didnt get all the restaurants I wanted.

Always do the math, but yeah, usually the package is cheaper.

I am checking 2 adults, 5-7 May
Santa Fe (room only via Expedia): 593 euro
3 day tickets (via Attraction tickets): 535 euro
2 day tickets: 362 euro

So either 1.128 euro or 955 euro.

Package via Disneyland Paris (country set to Netherlands) same dates & hotel as above.
845 euro, with 3 day access.

That's a 25% discount to book a package with 3 days. 12% discount if you would book 2 day park access.

This can of course differ time of year, the hotel, the amount of people (especially when there are kids involved), but it shows that booking a package is often the way to go.

I'm looking into booking now I'm so puzzled by the packages, perhaps becuase we're contemplating coming from Canada? If we're booking 3 nights and that includes 4 day park tickets, we're wasting a day. We won't be able to hit the parks on travel day due to timing and (I'm sure) sheer exhaustion, and on check-out day we'll want to continue on to our next destination (we're visiting relatives in Europe as well)...we're not going to check out, spend the day in a park, then on to the airport?? This only makes sense for locals/semi-locals, right? Or am I missing something here?

The majority of guests who go to Disneyland Paris are from Europe, so people are able to go to the parks on both arrival day and departure day. Any time Ive been to Disneyland Paris I get the first flight from my country and I'm in the parks by lunch time. On departure day I get the late flight back to my country and Im in the parks until lunch time., so again I haven't wasted a park day. When Europeans book Disneyland Paris, its just a parks holiday, they dont use it as a base to do other sightseeing and its not part of a longer holiday. Its the same reason the hotels are hotels and not resorts like in WDW, because they are designed for European guests.

Canadian and American guests are a very small % of guests that visit Disneyland Paris.

I come from the US and appreciate the arrival day and leave day tickets. We generally take a mid-day flight from the US and arrive at CDG mid-morning. While sleep deprived, we hit the parks in the afternoon and try to stay up through the evening to get us on European time. We will be heading back to Paris for a few days after our 4 day DLP stay, so we will probably jump back to the parks in the morning before heading to the train.

When I compare the price of a DLP package to WDW or DL, it is still such a great deal, even not being able to use a "day" of park ticket.

That makes sense - I just wish they gave us the option of customizing the number of park days. It feels like such a waste to pay for tickets on days I can't use them
