I googled this as i wanted to do the same and read you would have to call them to book part of your stay without park tickets.

And even if you did, you probably wouldn't save any money anyway. As explained previously on various threads, we've done the sums and you are better off just taking the tickets that come with the booking and ignoring the day you aren't going to use - it ends up being cheaper than the room only rates.

The ONLY reason they have this option is for the Annual Pass people. And having an Annual Pass is the ONLY way it works out cheaper than having the standard hotel and park tickets package.

Americans just cant get their head around this, they all insist on wanting separate tickets and hotel, we should just let them be and stop telling them, but then they will complain about how much money it cost to do Disneyland Paris.

Maths is hard.

I lead data and analytics teams, so I spreadsheet out the options. THIS American buys the package. I also prefer going to DLP. It is half the price of WDW (when staying at a moderate level hotel) for nearly as much fun, even when you include airfare. Now the 4 days I'm spending in Paris is another story.

It isn't that people don't understand, or that math is hard, but that it is a different policy than the other Disney parks. People who haven't previously visited DLP pose the question because they aren't sure if there is another way to make their reservations. Please don't feel obligated to answer questions if you find them repetitive or annoying.

@GenGen22 because of the extra park day, I cut one day off of my DLP hotel stay. The DLP hotels hold bags so we will spend our last day in the parks, pick up our bags in the evening, and stay in a hotel closer to the airport.

Yeah im just leaving mine as is also. I would prefer to stay on Disney property the whole time.

Just wanted to note that a couple years back we went through the trouble of buying the middle night from Expedia or hotels.com in the same category — it was cheaper, I did the math— and it was a nightmare, our room keys weren’t linked to our tickets correctly for on site perks and we kept having to recheck in each day, I want to say maybe 3+ unnecessary (long!) walks to the front desk plus 1-2 hours at the desk and also getting held up for precious 10-15 minutes at rope drop, etc. Cannot not recommend strongly enough!

Thank you! I appreciate you sharing your experience.
