HI,

After another summer camp spoilt by rain we would like to travel to france for the first time next summer and facy Euro Disney, has any one been there? If so we would welcome you ideas of where to camp and the best way to cross the channel etc. A guide to the costs would be really helpful aswell. Thanks jeanna and scott.

Hi

I have booked to go this October.

Costing me £270 including ferry from dover for 1 week at 4 Vents, then £300 for 4 x 4 day passes .

   Friend of mine was there end July said ques and crowds horrendous, He was fortunate to have disabled son so could fast track.

I was at Eurodisney this year in July, on two days midweeks. As has been said the queues were horrendous and frankly, if you took away the hundreds of gift shops, overpriced eateries and other money grabbing opportunities you'd be left with a handful of very mediocre rides and an awful lot of waiting around. How old are your kids? Mine were 11 and 6, the older one got bored very quickly and even the younger one didn't much like it apart from her meeting Cinderella. (One hour queue for that.) We all very much preferred Parc Asterix, one hour away...you can use Tesco Clubcard vouchers, the rides were x20 better, the queues were relatively short and there was a great deal more to see and do overall. With Disneyland the only reason we went back for our second day was that we had paid for the passes on a non-refundable deal. With Parc Asterix we had to be practically thrown out at the end of both days, and we'll go back again.

4 Vents is nice though, if a bit soulless. I got the impression that most folk were just using it as a dormitory while they went to the big theme parks or Paris.

We go in January. Much cheaper, no queues and more often than not...snow! Magical. We dress in snowsuits and have a wonderful time.

(I would be camping though LOL!)
