I just booked tickets to fly to Paris on October 20th through thee 30th. We are looking to go to DLP from the 27 (check in) to the 30th (check out). We were supposed to go Sept 2020 and I at that time had booked Hotel Santa Fe (via French site). The price now is quite a bit higher and for 3 nights & 4 days of tickets it is $2,134.23 USD (US site) & French site is about $40 usd cheaper.
Before I booked, I looked at Hotel l'Elysee Val d'Europe which is a 7 minute RER ride from DLP. The cost for 3 nights with breakfast is is 531 euro (approx $615 usd) for a non refundable & 591 euro ($685 usd) for a refundable room. The price of tickets for 2 days with 2 parks at DLP (purchased from DLP) for the 3 of us is $617.11 usd. So booking a refundable room w/ breakfast and purchasing the tickets separately would save around $850 usd.
We really only plan on going to the parks for 2 days and if we stayed at Santa Fe may go for a couple hours on the 27th, but otherwise wouldn't really use the additional days tickets included with staying on property. Our plan is to go to Disney Village for a bit on the 27th and visiting the park that day isn't necessary.
I'm curious if anyone here has stayed at this hotel & their thoughts. Also is the breakfast decent or is it typical yogurt, cold cereal, etc.? Wondering on the breakfast as I can book a non-refundable with no breakfast for 477 euro (approx $553 usd) which is actually what i'm leaning towards and we can grab some pastries/snacks in the park.
Also if I book the tickets only through DLP and stay off site it says I will have to select the dates to use the tickets. Is there concern that the dates we want (28th & 29th) won't be available if we don't stay on property? It doesn't say how far in advance I can reserve those days, but could I purchase the tickets and the same day choose the dates. Assuming so. I went all the way to the "confirm & pay" step and I couldn't choose the date. So I'm assuming I have to purchase them and then log in later to select the dates. Is this correct? I did find this calendar (https://register.disneylandparis.com/availability-calendar/?segments=ticket,ap) and if I'm understanding it correctly both our days are available under park tickets. However, it looks like under "annual passholders" then the 29th isn't available. Am I understanding this correctly and our dates are available as we aren't annual passholders?
Looking for help as I want to book this in the next 12-24 hours. We are not concerned with staying on site and are mainly looking for one full day in each park and convenience getting from the hotel to the parks. Hotel l'Elysee Val d'Europe seems to check the box & save us $800+ dollars. Any help and insight you all have is greatly appreciated.
