Booking another country's offer

[kenville]

The offers for next spring (May) don't include the usual 25% and FHB so are coming out more expensive. I've looked at the German site and the price is coming out much lower due to the exchange rate and them having a 25% and FHB offer - UK is ~£2400 and DE is ~£2100 for 2A 2C for 5 nights.

I've not booked through another country's site before so have a couple of questions:

- Do I do this online or best to call and ask for this?
- Can I still pay in instalments? i.e. deposit now and balance 3 months prior to travelling
- Any downsides to booking through another country site?

thanks!

We booked our last trip to DLP using the French site as the offer worked out about £300 cheaper.

The only difference is you receive all your documents in that language you book in. We had no issues with check-in or phoning up to add the express luggage service.

I'd recommend using Google Chrome as you can translate the language when you are booking.

Everything else should work out the same with payments but as we booked only a few weeks out we paid the entire balance.

Wow, those prices are crazy. They really have shot up since Disney took full ownership.

I have only once paid a four figure sum for DLP, and that was the Disneyland Hotel. It may be another offsite stay for me next year!

If it's possible to get a five night stay at NBC for four people and with half board for three figures then i'm all ears!

I've usually been able to get it under £2k in the past which has felt OK but this latest price seems to have shot up, albeit without the usual offer.

Well, no, but we are only two adults and usually stay at the cheaper hotels - although Sep 2017 we had 3 nights at NBC with free half board for £800

We've booked using the French and Spanish sites before and never had any issues at all - we just do the booking online using google chrome so it translates everything for us.

The prices for DLP are insane at the moment - we did 4n/5d at the DLH in March 2013 for 3ad 1ch for £850! The same date next year is coming up at over £2000!

Just be aware that if you pay a deposit and not the full amount that essentially your holiday price could rise (or drop). As it'd be in € if the £ crashed, you'd obviously be paying the same in Euros, but it'd be more £. I hope that makes sense. X
