Euro Disney tips!
Discussion
Planning a 5 day break to France 🇫🇷. 3 days at euro Disney and52 nights in Paris. Planing on taking the car. So either chunnel or ferry, then onto Disney. Staying in the park, half board breakfast & dinner. Any tips for cost cutting or good Paris hotels in center with parking!
If you have any clubcard vouchers use them towards the ferry or tunnel for double.
Other than that not really, it’s gonna cost you!
Edit: actually might be worth checking GetYourGuide for the park tickets, if you sign up you can get 10% off app purchases. Worked out cheaper than buying direct for me.

Three days is about perfect for Euro Disney and staying in the onsite hotels means you can get into the park an hour early. Use this to get on the big rides as you will save a ton of time queueing later in the day.
How old are the kids? Anything up to about 5 I would say to take a pushchair. You will do a load of steps during the day so having somewhere for them to sit or somewhere to put your bag can make a big difference.
The firework show at the end of the day is well worth staying for but gets busy early. We found that standing over to the side of the castle gave a good view without being absolutely rammed.
When we went we took the tunnel and drove down the day before. Stayed in a hotel in Marne Le Vallee (Eklo Hotel) then got up early and checked into the Disney hotel at about 7am. The hotels all seem to have good amounts of parking and shuttle busses to the park but we found it easier to walk. It is only about a 10 minute walk from the Cars and Toy Story themed hotels and saves another queue for the bus, especially when the park closes.

52 nights in Paris is probably a bit too long. Been twice, once when the daughter was about 2, she slept most of the day and then went back for Halloween when she was 7 or 8. Both times we stayed in Paris and ventured to Euro Disney just for the day. I'm not sure how people manage to spend more than 1 day in the park to be honest, both times 1 day (getting there for opening) was enough to see everything imo.
If you want to save a few quid on the accommodation element, we have stayed at Hotel Elysee at Val'd Europe a couple of times, which is the next stop along the local train route. Easy to access by car, a few restaurants and shops local to the hotel and only 5/10 mins to get to Disney.
We stayed at the Disney 'Newport Bay' hotel one year and the hotel was absolutely crawling with people, you could barely navigate your way along the main corridors downstairs - it cost the earth and despite the benefit of early site access, it really wasn't worth it.
