just has a quick check on the official disney site and with the 40% off deal for bookings before 15th april, then a 3 day stay works out around £400-£500 quid, so no doubt it would be cheaper to look on expedia or travelsupermarket for some better prices if we wanna do this...

suddendly millau doesn't look so expensive after all! :wink:

I have been doing a lot of searching for a good deal. I am waiting for confirmation from a few places which are about 20 mins drive from the park. So far it is about half of the price eurodisney quote. The good thing about that also is that it is very near a train station for a 20 min trip into Paris.

When i have some solid prices i will post them up :thumleft:

Hi folks,
As requested here is an idea of the prices for a stay in and around Eurodisney. The price is based on my own plan but i am sure it will give you an idea.

so a 2 night stay (15/16 Jun) for 2 adults can be had for £138 \:D/ :thumleft:

A park ticket is around £38

Not bad eh?

Our plan is to spend the day of the 16th in Eurodisney, check out on the 17th and travel into Paris by Train(I have never been and want to do the tower etc)
Depending on finances we may stay another night and travel back on the 18th or take a late night ferry on the 17th.....not sure yet

Without trying to take anything away from the main bolt on trip which i think will be brilliant, this option provides a fall back for those that like myself cant manage the extra costs.....so now we have two options for a bolt on trip :thumleft: ....is that a first?

Been a while since I checked this thread, cant believe its only a month and a few weeks away! I have yet to book my ferry but am 100% going to be there, im just waiting to find out if my mate is joining me or if I will be driving solo.
I will be probably getting the ferry on the Thurs and will have to head home on the Monday, really wanted to make a long week out of it but work has to come 1st im afraid, cant believe Im saying that lol!
Checked out the official site and was looking at the kangaroo video consoles, thinking about hiring one for the weekend. Has anyone used one before and are they worth the 75 quid?
Cheers everyone

I think Mike had one last year, or certainly talked about getting one. They're supposed to be awesome, saw quite a few people around with them last year.

I saw loads of them too. If I understand correctly you can switch to a number of different cameras including in-car. Think Im going to get one as I found it a bit hard last year to keep up with positions.

I had one at Silverstone last year - they are *awesome* and well worth it. Is that £75 for the full 2 days? IIRC they had a hefty deposit requirement.

That's cheap, they were £90 just for f1 qualifying at silverstone last year!

We're booked into a hotel in Maidstone for the night of Monday the 8th, then getting up nice and early the next morning (some of us have hideously early ferrys).

Guys to avoid the scramble on the ferry we had last year I thought it may be worth colating a list of mobile numbers for those on the trip

can anyone happy to be included drop me a PM with their forum username, real name and the mobile number they will be using for the trip and I'll collate and send everyone a copy

thanks

Kangaroo is an absolute must, thay are superb, £80 for the whole weekend, you can choose all your own camera angles, drivers incar cameras and of course radio Le Mans!

Take your credit card as they take the deposit from that and then return it.

Not sure what the deposit was, can't remember, doesn't matter as it goes back onto the card ( provided you are not already at your limit )

I think its about £200

I've used Hollographics in the past who specialise in Le Mans stickers. Anyone want to ake on the task of looking after the sticker situation?
