Hi

My DD are plannning to go to DLP in spring of next year to celebrate her 21st. We will probably go for two or three nights and will be flying from Newcastle.

Any good planning tips? When should we book? Are TA’s ever competitive with DIY prices? Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks

BB

If you can go weekdays term time then prices will be cheaper. There is usually either a 30% off deal (sometimes with free dining) or a 4 nights for 2 deal.

We generally go for the 4 nights deal as this is the perfect amount of time for us. You need at least 3 days to really do both parks properly.

Lots of special places to eat - we like Walt's, or California Grill if budget allows (sooo pricey but good.)

Thanks. Flights definitely better for us starting in the North East. I’ll look at some prices. I think there’s only Air France from Newcastle

Thanks Gill. Will these deals be via Disney website?

Yes - check all the different countries’ versions of the site, as you can book any country’s offer. If you phone you can pay a deposit, on the website you have to pay in full.

Book your transport separately and don’t forget about transfers from the airport. Either ‘magical shuttle’ coach, TGV train or a private company (for us, RS Transports was cheapest at 38 Euros for 2 adults one way).

Oh, and fly to Charles de Gaulle if you can, the others are much further away.
