Cheap Holiday to Disneyland Paris


If you consider yourself a well-traveled person, then you probably know that the destinations Disneyland and Paris can mean only one thing: a very expensive vacation. This thought, however, shouldn’t stop you from pursuing your lifelong dream: to reach Paris and visit what is considered as the most popular tourist destination in the area. More than being a place just for kids, Disneyland Paris is packed with activities and has amazing attractions that every person, young or old, will surely want to visit. That’s all within your reach now, if you carefully calculate your expenses and go on a cheap holiday to Disneyland Paris.



Disneyland Paris, A Place of Romance and Fun

Before you carefully plan your cheap holiday to Disneyland Paris, whetting your appetite is an absolute must. Located in Marne-la-Vallee in Paris, France, Disneyland Paris is the second Disneyland outside the US and arguably the most successful. It opened in April 1992 and has since then been considered as the most visited tourist destination in Europe.



What you will see in Disneyland Paris are two theme parks, a sprawling district comprising retail, dining and entertainment shops, a golf range called Golf Disneyland, and seven hotels within the area. All of these are in a vast 4,800-acre land. The hotels in Disneyland Paris are the following: Disneyland Hotel, Hotel New York, Newport Bay Club, Sequioa Lodge, Hotel Cheyenne, Hotel Santa Fe, and Davy Crocket Ranch. All these are owned by Disney. Where you will stay among these seven hotels will take a huge chunk of your cheap holiday to Disneyland Paris, so you better know the rates and services offered by well before you reach the place.



Transportation can also be pricey and can cost you a lot more than you are willing to bargain for. Also consider your transport options. The railway station is connected to the RER Network and the high-speed rail network TGV; it connects the two theme parks and Disney Village, where the seven hotels and other entertainment districts are. Pick the train that will cost you least and drive you to your destination a lot easier. There are also free shuttle services offered from the theme parks to the hotels.



Maximizing Discounts in Your Cheap Holiday to Disneyland Paris

The best way for you to have the most fun without scrimping on the activities that matter is by using as many discounts as possible. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of that in Disneyland Paris. Before anything else, determine the duration of your stay in Disneyland Paris: will you be staying for as short as a day? Or do you plan to be in Disneyland Paris for as long as 5 days? A 1-day entrance and Park Disney Ticket to the place will cost you 40 Pounds if you are an adult and 34 Pound for children aged 3 to 11 years old.

There are special offers generously available in Disneyland Paris. For example, if you choose to travel within January 3 to April 1 2010, children under 12 years old will get free hotel and travel accommodation. Children below 7 travelling to Disneyland until January 2, 2010 will get not only free accommodation but also transport privileges in the Eurostar. There are other special offers in Disneyland’s website. The trick is for you to know when you and your kid should go to Disneyland and avail of the free services. As you can see, you can totally afford a cheap holiday to Disneyland Paris, especially if you plan to come with your children.



Planning Privileges Offered in Disneyland Paris

Planning will not just get your ready for your vacation to Disneyland Paris. In fact, it might even determine how truly inexpensive your cheap holiday to Disneyland Paris will be in the long run. Planning just means that you will be able to book your stay in Disneyland Paris prior to actually arriving there. There are free night offers in Disneyland Paris that would extend your stay in the place and buffer the costs of your vacation. For example, you will get to stay for 3 nights and pay only for the price of 2 withint November 9 to December 9, January 3 to February 10, and February 21 to March 22. There are other dates specifically stated here.



Aside from these night offers, you can also save 15% on your cheap holiday to Disneyland Paris if you pre-book a Half Board meal plan and a Buffalo Bills Wild West Show. If you want to have a complete Disneyland Paris vacation, you should consider availing these special discounts.

August

August has just started. 4 days into this month I am still to decide which culture will fulfill my need of experiencing, learning and forgetting the most. I believe anyplace would work as a the typical getaway destination everyone looks for each holiday, but I'd rather find a place where full enjoyment is possible for a month. And for now on Spain, it's food, people and coasts, seem to be one of the most interesting destinations.
