Hi lockwood32,

sorry I cant be of any help, when we went into Paris we went on one of the cruise boat trips-it was quite enjoyable but not what your looking for I dont think!!

Anyhow, hope you have a great time! I'm very interested to hear how your coach trip goes as we are going by coach for the 1st time in November (we have an 8 yr old and a 4 yr old).

Have a smashing time and I look forward to reading your review when you get back :)

Louise what do you do with your Tesco vouchers to help you with DLP holidays? Do you pay for your flights with airmiles from them?

we converted the vouchers to pay leger holidays I saved up £300 in tesco vouchers which when converted is worth £1200 which paid for all the holiday in the easter school hols by coach ferry crossing, explorers hotel for 4 nights and 2 days in the parks. You have to go by coach to do it this way, but it was fine and I would def do it again, we only needed spends. 8)

"If you have been saving your Clubcard Vouchers for Leger Tokens, you must have ordered and booked your holiday with Leger by the 30th September 2007 for travel up to the 31st December 2007."

We're taking our 2 kids (5 + 2) to DLP in July and I'm a bit worried about queueing, etc. I have Arthritis and standing for lengthy periods or walking about a lot becomes very painful. The DLP site says disabled guests can let them know on arrival and they get to use seperate entrances on some attractions. My problem is that as I am not visibly disabled e.g. in a wheelchair and am reasonably young (43) they may not believe me. Anyone had similar situations or offer any advice?

Thanks in advance

Hi Andrew,

Can you get a letter from your doctor, confirming your arthritis?
Even without a medical condition, Disneyland can be very tiring. We were there in February, when it really wasn't that busy (not school holidays busy anyway). I was dog-tired at the end of each day - you do so much walking around the park.

Does anyone know if Cow and Gate Plus Baby milk is available to buy in cartons in any of the DLP hotels?

If not what about the supermarket at Val D'Europe?

I'm sure i saw cartons of baby food and milk in the hotel shop last time we were there but that was prior to us having another baby.

Depends what you call expensive really.

In Sequoia Lodge it was €6.00 for a pint of K1664 and i'm sure it was the same at The Sports Bar in Disney Village but they do have some happy hours there where its buy one get one free.

So essentially its about £4.30 a pint of K1664 which in city centre pubs and hotels in the UK is usually at least £3.00 sometimes more.

Hi Gail,

It probably depends where you are coming from? I would think, for convenience, the Eurostar would be easiest - and you can get direct trains from London and Ashford straight to Disneyland.

Coach trips are also almost door-to-door. Flights take about an hour, but you have to factor in check-in times, baggage claim etc.

By car - however long it takes you to get to the Channel Tunnel, then about 3 hours on the other side to Disneyland.
