New deal!

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

A 4* Disneyland Paris hotel with park tickets and return flights from any one of five airports.
From $165 for a two-night stay, from $205 for a three-night stay, or from $220 for a four-night stay.
Stay at either Mercure Marne la vallee Bussy St Georges, or Hotel Novotel Marne-la-Vallee Collegien.
4th October.

I'm plumping for the four night option, seems like a real bargain!

Check the fine print. There is no way you get park tickets, a return flight, and a hotel stay for <$100/day, much less $55. There's got to be a catch.

You'd think so, but no. Booking the stay individually, by hotel, then tickets, then flights, could set you back by up to $30 less if you stay at the Appart’City Confort Marne La Vallée Val d’Europe hotel, fairly decent quality - not ultra-luxury, but what are you expecting at this price?

From what I gather, Disneyland Paris is in dire straits and is subsidising everything. In much the same way, hotels in Vegas are subsidised by the casinos, so you can stay for peanuts for your buck. Orlando, in comparison, is very expensive.

There ARE blackout dates... I guess that goes someway to explaining it. Also, the flights are from London (peanuts) and the hotel dirt cheap...

The nicer hotels not so much.

Check the airline they're going to book you on? Is it one that you'll pay extra for seat selection, baggage (checked AND carry on), etc. Are the hotels they put you up at really 4* or is that just what they claim?

The hotel is towards the cheap end of the 4* spectrum, a small one, a "Disney friendly" one - not an official on site resort. The airline is EasyJet, very cheap, especially considering you aren't allowed to check in any luggage (all carry on). Food is not included. Time allowed for travel is quiet time. So the savings mount up.

I'll sleep on it... October Disney holiday? Yes please... if I can budget for it, however cheap!
