I just hope the room only rates are reasonable and the annual passes don't go up to much! I think it might work out better if it saves booking extra people in at check in if this is going to be stopped!

Very glad we have transferred this year's holiday to next year - already booked in for September 2017 and presumably breakfast will still be included as it's an existing booking.
Hopefully the Santa Fe dining room will be quiet if everyone decides not to pay! What confuses me though is people saying that this is because of people who make up sandwiches at breakfast time for later. (Apparently whole coolers full, not just popping an uneaten croissant in a bag or something.) Surely this is going to make people do this even more? If someone has paid at least £12 and it turns out their kids just eat one bowl of cereal and half a piece of toast, I can see them thinking 'well why not, I've paid' and taking loads for later.

People may not want to pay that for breakfast though - they might decide to have breakfast elsewhere. If they do decide to have breakfast there and take food for lunch Disney won't mind as they're making money out of them by charging them extra for breakfast. For example if a family of 4, two adults and two kids who have to pay adult prices for breakfast, stay for 4 nights and have breakfast at the hotel Disney will be making £192 just from that family, money they wouldn't get if breakfast was free. Obviously the cost would be more if staying at a higher grade hotel.

You have to almost ignore the actual prices of breakfast alone. I think they will be trying to push the half/full board plans above all else - mainly with offers where you get it for free.
I think that the wastage (both through guests helping themselves to other meals, and from making too much) is only a small part of the problem. Personally, I think it more comes down to the fact that the resort is still losing money and needs to try and turn it around. This is one of many steps that I think will be put in place to help get Disneyland Paris making money. Some we will like, some we won't. Either way, I'm pretty sure the majority of us will continue to visit and support our home park throughout the 25th Anniversary year and beyond. |

I agree with you about the changes to come. TWDC want a return on their money and that isn't going to happen currently. I personally think a lot of the issue is not hotel guests who go for a short break, stay onsite, eat there etc etc. I think it's the local AP holders who visit the park without putting much back in if I'm honest. They use the facilities regularly but it's noted that they do not spend a lot while there - average 1 euro made per AP holder in a year!
However, I think they need to be really careful to balance this. It's expensive for UK visitors to travel to Paris without even looking at Disney prices. It is a short break destination, and it needs to be priced that way. It is almost becoming a two-week break price for a family of 4 and I'm not sure that's sustainable. It's certainly not for us - and I'm a shareholder! But the UK is a small market for DLRP. Mainland Europe is different. We will all just have to wait and see what comes... |
