Pakage offers

[Jonjo]

Just had this offer arrive in my email.

Save 40% on a 2 night, 3 day package in a Disney Hotel with kids under 12 stay, play and travel for free.

For each adult package booked to arrive until 2nd April 2009 inclusive, all children (aged 3-11) get FREE accommodation (in all hotels featured on Disneylandparis.com) and FREE entrance to both Disney Parks. To qualify, there must be at least one paying adult per room booked. You simply need to tell us your children's ages (under 12 at time of stay) when booking and show proof of their age(s) once at check-in. Other options and insurance can be added but are not free for children aged 3 and above.

* For packages including Eurostar or Air France, one child can travel for free with each adult package booked (except Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch®).

Eurostar: Last return date 10th April 2009 - one child (aged 4-11) travels for free on Eurostar with each paying adult on the direct service between Disneyland® Resort Paris and London St Pancras and Ashford International in Standard Class (BX), including Disney Express luggage service. Any additional children or infants requiring a seat will pay the child fare.

Thanks for posting, Jonjo.

I received the same email yesterday also!! I've never been to DLP, but I was considering it and have been spending a lot of time on the DLP website.

I think it's great that Disney is allowing the two offers to be combined. My only concern is whether I qualify for this offer since I live in the U.S. Does anyone know if these types of offers are open to anyone, or did I receive this email in error?

I am also an American but living in Germany. When I called Disney to inquire if I could get the deal, they told me that as long as I knew someone in England who they could send a letter too, that I could get the deal. I said my credit card is tied to the US and asked if that would be a problem. They told me no, as long as I knew someone personally whom could recieve a confirmation letter and then mail it to me in Germany that it didn't matter. The rep told me to cancel my current booked trip (with no penalties) and re-book with a British address. I did that and saved $279 USD!!! (From $596 to $316) We even are staying at the exact same hotel with the exact dates, we had to change nothing. (Cheyenne from March 22nd-24th) My neighbor was born and raised in Liverpool. I felt weird doing it and and kind of embarassed to admit doing it but the Disney rep suggested it to me and I was very honest to Disney about it.

We also booked the premium half board meal option in British Pounds and saved more then half off Buffalo Bill's Wild show and a character dinner in Inventions in the Disneyland Resort.

Good luck!

Once again this is only for people from the UK. There is not such kind of offer for the rest of Europe.

@ sheryl_loves_disney: You could have also used an imaginary UK address and then request to send you the confirmation via E-Mail.

But isn't it weird that a company offers slightly illegal ways to get discounts?
I will do this also this year the first time and book with an UK address to use the 1 night 1 day free offer.

I know many DLRP fans who do the same and it always worked perfectly.

Yes it felt kind of dirty booking it that way but I found it odd that the rep I spoke to helped me do it. I felt like I was buying drugs from a cop!

If that's the price they are prepared to offer at, it is from their cost model perspective irrelevant which country you reside in. It's a global market place now and to offer one person one price, but to refuse to allow another the same, sadly is all too frequent a commercial practice. If you can get access to the best pricing by through going a few hoops, this is no less honourable as is the practice in the first place of segmenting pricing by region.

I agree. Marcus has discussed this unfair practice before with another Diser, Bavaria. I think this is quite shocking - I suppose I am quite naive when it comes to business. I would feel pretty aggrieved if I was from outside the UK and therefore not eligible for these offers.
