Is Val d'Europe walkable from the Relais Spa?

Not sure if you mean the RER station or the shopping centre, however, the train station is about a 2/3 minute walk and the shopping centre a further 2 to entrance. I haven't explored the full extent of the shopping centre, only ever going to the Auchan, but it seems it could stretch on a good deal further than that.

We only tended to make breakfast and snacks, or a late small dinner if we'd just had something small in parks. But save a load just by buying a pack of pastries/fruit etc and drinks and not paying each day!

Not to mention the time spent queuing!

I had an AP a few years ago, and currently have an AP (though unfortunately I now live rather far away - only got my current AP as it was about the same cost as a 5 day ticket).

What I used to do was:
- Book Eurostar 3 months in advance - this is (was?) when they would release the indirect trips via Lille, which I usually found easier to book than the direct trains
- Stay off-site - I tended to stay at the Ibis at Val d'Europe, which is only one stop away from DLP on the RER. It was also very close to the shopping centre which is great for doing a spot of shopping (and for Auchan!). This year I was at the Hipark Serris, which is actually within walking distance of DLP.

We have had passes a couple of times. This time we bought dream passes last December. We have had several trips. In the past we always stayed offsite mostly at the Adagio and used tesco vouchers for the eurotunnel and driven. We have had free parking. 5 days free disney doggy daycare when Sparky joined us. An enormous amount of money saved on souvenirs (20%) as we have bought a lot! 10% off all food and drink. In August we did 5 nights at Newport Bay for 50% discount. By then we had more than saved all the money we spent on passes as we saved 800 on our hotel stay and our passes cost 800. We have now just booked 2 rooms at Sequoia lodge for 22/12 - 24/12 as we are taking family too for their first trip. Again we got 50% off. For us it is well worth it but we can only go in school holidays when hotels are expensive so savings are higher.
