This is the way I've always done it as brochure prices always work out more expensive. Having said that, if they have last minute deals then they may be cheaper. Never done this myself so I'm not sure.

We booked our flights seperately and the accommodation direct with Disney.

I wasn't aware the SL had family rooms though.

just one more question is there a bus to take us from the airport to disney and is it reliable and any idea of the cost
thanks again margy

There is a very reliable VEA shuttle bus from Charles de Gaulle airport which drops off and picks up at all the Disney hotels. The cost is 16euro per adult and 13euro per child, each way. But if there is a large party of you, it may be cheaper getting a private transfer.

Yes, it may. There are 5 of us and it is only costing a few more euros to book a shuttle than catch the VEA. There is info on both the VEA and private shuttles in this thread in The Very Useful Info sticky.

I didn't think they did either ~ I thought out of the onsites it was only the Disneyland Hotel and Newport Bay.
