When planning your trip to Disneyland Paris consider the alternative of staying outside of the main parks. There are lots of hotels nearby that can offer excellent accommodation at a fraction of the price of the main hotels.
Most will run shuttlebusses to get you to Disneyland Paris but will have the advantage of being in a nearby French Town giving you a taste of real French life. For example we stayed at Marne and were able to walk into the village early each morning to buy fresh baguettes and croissants for breakfast they were wonderful as they had been freshly baked by the village baker.
There is also a massive shopping centre called Citie de la Vallee where you can but absolutely anything and it also has a designer village attached.
So it maybe if you are planning a longer trip staying in one of the local villages is a better option than staying on site

Disneyland Paris Tickets – It is Possible to Get Free Entry!
With Disneyland Paris
being the top European tourist destination it is hardly surprising that it is sometimes difficult to find discount entry tickets. With a little research however and some perseverance it you can often find great discounts and even free entry passes. This is my method for getting those discount or free passes;
First of all plan your trip before booking anything i.e
How will you be getting there car, train, Eurostar, plane
Decide on the length of your stay. – Sometimes you can get free additional days i.e 4 for the price of 3
How regular will your visits be – If you are visiting more than once a year consider the option of an annual pass as this will give you lots of other discounts
Dates when you can visit. If you visit off peak you can often get better deals than during peak times.
How many in your group. If you are a large party visiting you can often get group discounts or even a free pass.
Now you have all the information in place do your research. Check with the transport providers first. For example Eurostar were offering a free Disneyland Paris Hopper Pass ticket with a Channel crossing with additional tickets available with a 15% discount. P&O also promoted a similar offer.
Some coach companies offer both discounted travel and highly discounted tickets i.e Ledger offered tickets at £17.00 each approx 60% saving!
Check out other websites as many info sites will give up to date information on the best deals available for Eurodisney you may even find that by booking direct there are some good last minute offers.i.e an extra day and night free
So to sum up Disneyland Paris is a great place to visit and whilst entry on the day is quite expensive by planning ahead it is possible to get greatly discounted tickets and this year it was even possible to get a free day hopper pass by booking an essential train journey! So beat the credit crunch and have a great time at this fantastic theme park.

What Is Happeneing at Disneyland Paris For 2009?
2009 is a great year to visit Disneyland Paris
as it is the park’s 15th birthday year. It seems incredible to think that it was 15 years ago when Eurodisney first opened it doors. I can remember the excitement on my children’s face as we drove through those large entrance gates for the first time and from then on were smitten with the atmosphere and have returned numerous times.
It seems that Disney marks each 5 years with a special ‘birthday year’ they take the effort to decorate the castle and have special events throughout the year. This year the castle has a large Tinkerbell waving her magic wand.
The theme of the year is Mickey’s Magical Party with special events happening throughout the park. In the main park you have a special dance time in discovery land this is where Lilo and Stich will entertain you and get you to join in with their dancing. Minnie’s Party Train will tour through the park at specific times (Top tip is to go to County Hall and get the show times when you arrive. You may also be able to get the times when the characters will be appearing around the park). Mickey has a party for you to join on the central Plaza and the main parade has been changed for the celebration.
Walt Disney Studios also has a special ‘Stars and Cars’ parade for the celebrations and it is a great opportunity to see all the characters and some fantastic cars. It is often easier to get a better view in the studios as this park tends to be quieter.
The Rides are also great this year with the recent opening in the studios of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Crushes Coaster. It is good to see that Disney are committed to improving and adding to the park.
So 2009 could be a good time for you to plan your visit to Disneyland Paris as there are certainly some events that you won’t get the chance to see at any other time.
