Marriott’s Village d’Ile-de-France help booking?

[rivanergrape]

Hello all

I am new here and have never been to to disney anywhere!

I have 4 children aged 2, 4, 7 & 8, myself and hubby would love to take them to disneyland paris as our 1st trip.

We are in the UK and would most likely ferry over and drive.

I love the look of the above village but am confused to as it is just a timeshare place or if I can book independently or not?

Has anybody been there? It looks lovely!

Or does anyone have any other reccomendations for suitable accommodation for the 6 of us?

I am struggling to find places that will sleep all 6 of us, apart from the davy crockett ranch, and they look quite small

thankyou in advance x

I have stayed a number of times as you can see from my signature .

Our family love staying there .It is very luxurious and quiet which is a nice contrast to the busy parks , which are great too .

I usually book direct on the Marriot website www.marriot.com . You are best to join their rewards programme as sometimes this gets you preferential rates.

For bigger families there are other options too . The Adagio in Val D'Europe is one and I'm sure there has been another posted about near the Marriot but I can't recall the name .

Any other questions let me know . Only happy to help

the explorers hotel is another option for larger families as well they have crew 6 rooms which is like a normal room plus a lock off bit with a bunk cabin in it, weve stayed there a few times and its nice and they have a lovely pool and reasturant and its in disney village so it has the free shuttle buses 4- 5 mins max to the parks!!

I have stayed at the Marriott & would recommend it. There is a supermarket nearby. The indoor pool is lovely & warm. There are jacuzzis there too & a steam room (but it is only on certain hours). There is also an indoor playroom with a small ball pool & climbing area & a few toys & tables for kids to sit at and draw. There are 2 outside playgrounds with swings, slides etc. The houses are lovely. There is a DVD player, which is good for the kids. You can also get BBC1 & 2! There is plenty of space in the houses too. The place is like a hotel in that every day your bins get emptied & you get clean towels, tissues, toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, soaps etc replenished. There is a washer/dryer too & the kitchen is fully equipped. It really is like a home from home. If you have any questions, just ask.

Sorry can I hijack and ask - is there a hairdryer and kettle? Also do we need our own towels for the pool or are they provided?

Many thanks for your help

 

[karenmoloney]

Yes there is a hairdryer & a kettle. It is kitted out with everything you would have at home because you are renting a house rather then a room. And yes, towels are provided for swimming. Any more questions, just ask.

We booked this as a timeshare exchange and got a three bedroom for a week in February when we are going to DLP.
You can definately book it direct through the marriott site, and they sometimes have really good specials, but I do not think you can book the three bedrooms direct (they are even hard to get through timeshare).
Hope this helps.

You can book the 3 beds direct. I rang up for a quote a few months ago for our trip and they offered me a 3 bed, 2 bed or even a 1 bed studio. I didn't book at the time and they've nearly all gone, I have since booked and could only get a 2 bed - not great as there are 4 adults, one child and one baby but we'll manage.

I'm on the lookout for a 3 bed or a 1 bed studio for my parents if anyone sees any become available They may not be online though although their central reservations told me they would be if they become available...

Karen - thanks for the tip off about the kettle etc.

I managed to book a studio online although I'm not really sure where they are in the resort . Maybe they are in the new part.

They don't show for all dates so I wonder if there are only a few available currently

We have stayed at the Marriott Village in a 2-bedroom villa and loved it. It has all the conveniences of home (full kitchen, laundry room, etc.). We will be there again in a few weeks.
