DLP first timer... a couple of questions

[Lemag]

Hi, I’ve never been to Disney Paris before and I have a couple of questions I’m hoping you can answer!

- I’ve looked on the Disney site and whichever hotel I price up seems to include the park tickets- some also include food. If I book the hotel through a different site (eg hotels.com) do I have to then purchase the park tickets and any food package we want separately?

- we are a family of 4 and we would like 2 bedrooms if possible. Most options I look at seem to be a single hotel room with 2 double beds. Are there any apartment options that anyone can recommend please?

- if we decide to fly into Charles de Gaulle, do we have to pay extra for transport to the Disney hotel? Or is this included like in Florida (magical express)?

Thanks in advance!

Personally I've only ever booked direct with Disney. The deals (for extra nights or meal plans) are available if booked from some 3rd parties but check exactly what you're getting.

If you want multiple bedrooms staying onsite then you'll need to book adjoining rooms - there are no 'apartments'. Staying offsite may well give you this option but you do not benefit from extra hours, free parking (if needed), hotel fast passes (depending on hotel/room) or meal plans. However, you can still book and use all of the restaurants but would have to pay separately.

There's no free Magical Express so you would have to ensure you arrange transfers.

There is a magical express, but it's a paid for service. There are other transfer options, like private shuttles, shared shuttles, and the train.

Hotels.com is usually the room only price, and therefore you would have to add tickets, food plans, etc. Though on some of the websites like that, they do at times offer tickets and meal options. You can usually find this when you check the room type after clicking through.

Santa Fe has family rooms, but I think they're actually adjoining rooms. I thinks it's best to call and ask about them. Newport Bay Club, and I think Disneyland Hotel also have family rooms. It depends on your budget. I have heard that sometimes Newport Bay isn't much more than Santa Fe in this instance, but NBC rooms, though bigger, are actually family rooms, not adjoining rooms. I hope some of that helps. Xx

I've stayed in family rooms in Disneyland Hotel and Newport Bay - you're all in 1 room. That is 2 double beds and 1 sofa bed.

Hi
I called to ask about family rooms and was told the Santa Fe family rooms are adjoining rooms but to book you need to call and book, they can't be done online.

Keep an eye on the offers, and check some of the other countries offers on the Disneyland Paris site, we have booked with free half board and comparing with staying off site couldn't make the numbers work, worked out better value to stay onsite, but it's best to price everything and see. Booking via DLP park tickets are included.

Some other travel agents do offer sometimes the current offer but you need to double check.

Transfers need to be booked separately and can be via Disney or independent transfer.

Hi, if anyone does book and adjoining room, could you let us know the cost.

If you are willing to drive 10 mins or so you could stay in a cabin at Davey Crocket Ranch. It is a Disney area but you have to drive.

See more...

It will be the cost of two rooms, so you should be able to see that on the site.

You can request adjoining rooms although it is not guaranteed.
