Hi All

My wife and I have been thinking about taking our two kids (will be 6 & 7 when we go) to Disneyland Paris. We have an older 14ft tourer. We are looking at going in about 12 months from now, in the May half term.

What we would like from all you lovely people is suggestions, we don't want to be on top of Paris to be honest and anything up to an hour away would be fine. Our main things we look for in a site is cleanliness, especially in the loo's, we will be spending a lot of the time away from the site so swimming pools and the like really is of little concern.

Also, how many days does it take to see everything you would want at Disneyland? Personally im thinking 4 days but I have nothing to base this on.

Fuel wise, im thinking of allowing a scary £300 as my wifes Toyota Estima is a bit juicy before you attach a ton onto the back of it and we will be coming from Lincolnshire. What sort of cost will the Autoroutes be?

For the ferry im thinking £200 return but can anyone tell me where I can find special offers or is there some P&O type club I can join to get a deal.

Basically, we want to make this a holiday for the kids to remember and dont want to continually be saying no to everything because its too much, so anywhere we can save money is another smile for my kids.

Thanks everybody for any help you can give us.

If you watch out for special offers at the time of the Caravan Shows at the NEC in October and February, DFDS often offer very cheap crossings.  £58.00 return for car and caravan, and up to five people, in low season, and £78.00 in high season.  The code you need to get these cheap crossings is always shared on caravanning forums such as this one - and lots of us take advantage and book early.  Another advantage is that you can book, and then amend any of the details free of charge if you have to, right up until the 30th June.

Wayne we are going in August and have just bought Annual Disney land Paris tickets

Would be worth you looking at if you are going for 4 days,we bought the passes from a website called ce multi advantages which is a French only website so you need to use google translate

They always have offers and when we bought ours it's was buy and adult fantasy pass for 125euro get a child under 12 for 35 euro so for 3 off use we paid £220 for annual passes

Thanks for that AK1972. I have had a look at that website through Google translate and although a bit hard to decipher I think I've worked it out. Am I correct in thinking that I can buy 2 x adult annual passes at 105euros each and then get my 2 kids passes for 35euros each for a total price of 280 euros.

Only reason I ask is looking at the official Disney site they want slightly over 600euros for 2 adult and 2 child 4 day passes.

My wife is saying this seems too good to be true, is it an easy transaction?

Many thanks everyone for your great and helpful comments so far.

Hi Wayne

Have a look at some of the disney forums - we got loads of useful info from them, especially this one.  We went last May half term, got cheap ferry crossings (this year we've found it's worth joining the Caravan Club as we've more than recouped the cost in ferry crossing savings), bought our park tickets through FNAC and saved a bucketload, and stayed at Les Etangs Fleuris campsite (which I think may only have cost us 100 Euros in total).

Will try to post more tomorrow when I'm wider awake and can remember more :-)
