Planning for Feb begins after the amazing deal!!

[belle24]

Well I took advantage of the ebookers offer that has been main topic of conversation on this forum recently!! Was going to book anyway for Feb but have saved around £400 and got an extra night!! Yay!! Now i need to start planning

Fingers crossed ebookers dont cancel my booking etc!! I told ppl at work and there was suddern mass booking in my office. I know of at least 5 other bookings that took place in my office haha!! Although if it goes wrong they'll all be coming back to me!!

So, this trip is a secret. It my OH's Christmas present which im struggling to keep a secret already!! But I need some further help with planning and some answers to my questions.

Firstly, I wanted to do the half board option, but this wasnt on the ebookers site. Is there anyway i can book that seperatly with someone?? I also want to book the Disney express for the eurostar. I cant book the eurostar as dates arent released yet but who would i book these with??

Also as we are goignt o be there 6 days i think its fair to say we can have a day or 2 not in the parks all day. One day im looking to go to the mall and would like to go to the Sea life centre in there? Has anyone been recently and have prices or know of any offers for this??
Also would like to go into Paris for a day but would just like to walk around and see the sites.

Thats all i the questions i have so far.
I so hope ebookers honour our bookings!!! Its such a good deal but ive been reading all your posts on the thread about it and seems a 50/50 chance!! Fingers crossed lol

Thanks guys xxx

You can only book Half Board if you have booked directly with DLP, the same as the Eurostar Express service. Though you can book it on your return leg at the hotel.

You can still add half board to your meals - its the same as a travel agent as they book via Disney?? Don't ebookers have to book through Disney? You will still be able to add as you are staying onsite via a Disney hotel. Give ebookers a ring and ask them to add this onto your booking, same with Disney Express, but i think that part has to be done via Disney? The do need your booking confirmation to add the service to your train though and i don't think its possible until you book that. But, going there it isn't too big of a deal and expensive way to do it. On your return, book via the Santa Fe for €13 (?) per ROOM and not £16 per PERSON

i spoke to ebookers about half board and they said i have to call the hotel.

would that be Santa Fe direct or DLP booking line do you think?
Ebookers told me my booking reference number to give for them to add to my booking aswell so I'm guessing this can be done anytime?

it definitely won't be the hotel direct, I'd guess it would be Guest Services at DLP? ie the French landline number.

We won't bother with the express on the outbound, we'll have to go to the hotel to collect the tickets.

I would hang on a bit with the travel arrangements- just to make sure E bookers don't have a change of heart, I don't think they will but personally do not want to be in a situation where I am stuck with a train or flight and no hotel!

When ppl travel from St Pancras does anyone stay in travelodge night before?
Im hoping to do this in Feb and was wondering which is the closest to the station??
Also is there restaurants near by so can go for an evening meal somewhere??

Also am thinking of not doing the half board now as want to be more flexiable with my restaurant choice. Ive picked restaurants def want to eat and and put a budget for each so can just get the euros instead.
Will prob get one of those cash cards now. Can anyone recommend a good one?
If I get one can i add to it over the next 6 months a bit at a time or does it all have to go on at once? Just thought this would b a good way to save the spending money?

Thansk guys xx

The closest one is just called "Kings Cross" but I wound not stay there again if you paid me! It's right on top of the train line, so you have trains going under your rooms until the early hours, causing everything to shake (there are some pictures in my "dream come true" trip report).

We have also stayed in "Kings Cross Royal Scot" this is about 5 mins walk further away (10 min walk to station instead of 5) but is infinitely better; it's normally cheaper too!
