is it likely to be better than english site? do you pay in euros instead then? Dont you have to pay full balance online?

Very interesting to know, thank you! If I remember right if you phone Disney they will price match any offer that you find online (think it was mentioned in the Watchdog thread here) Only problem I can see is the bank possibly blocking a transaction in a different currency...

We are going for 3 nights so the current UK offer of 2 nights free (when buying 4 nights) isn't that great for us - it's OK, but I prefer to wait and see what else crops up.

Yes, the offers are likely to be different - they almost always are.

Not sure if you pay in euros actually? You would if you paid online (in full, yes). If you called up the booking line and asked for that country's specific offer (you can do this and they have to oblige) then they may convert it into £ (or your currency) for you so you are charged in £. I've never done this but I think tennisfan has recently.

I recently spoke to a French CM and she told me that they search automatically for the best rate for you if you call them. I've never been told that before but it's obvious they should do that. I think on the UK booking line (depending on the CM), they tend to just give you the current UK offer/price which isn't always the best....

I much prefer booking via the French line now but sometimes they won't entertain your call, hear you are English and then transfer you to the UK booking line (which tends to be US CMs who imo (and experience) are not as nice/don't tend to go the extra mile to get you a good deal!). I think if you do manage to book on the French line then any changes/amends, they will deal with it as it is their booking originally. Hope that makes sense!

No, it will be the winter season launch offer (i.e. UK's is 2 nights free when you buy 2 nights). No one knows atm what it will be....

Thanks for the info.



I hope to see the 2 nights free over on the Irish site and then I will book in Euro instead of Pound.

Due to this it could be a better price....

does anyone know the phone number for the french site?

here you are -

00 33 1 60 30 60 53

use a discount dial number first, as this is a French landline number.
