We are planning to visit disneyland Paris for a day on our way back home. We need to stay for two nights in the area. Any tips? We are family of four- two girls 7/5. I would love to do it as cheap as possible, but also as we are highly unlikely to return to the palace of dreams- would like it to be an enjoyable experience.

We stayed at the Davey Crockett ranch/lodges when we went. You still get the extra hours and parking at the park is included but it was significantly cheaper than the hotels in the park. If you have a car with you the journey is very easy between the accomadation and the park.

The kids did rename it 'the shed' but they has everything you need.

One more vote for the Davy Crockett, we liked it cos the kids had their room and there was another room for us as well as a living area/kitchen so didn't need to go to bed when they did.

Hope you enjoy our kids were 2 and 4 1/2 when we went and we had a wonderful time (enjoyed it much more than expected!)

we stayed at the Explorers hotel- as it was significantly cheaper than the Disney hotel but still affiliated with it. It has a regular shuttle bus that takes approx 5-10 min to get to Disney.


The pirate ship in the indoor swimming pool completely sold it for my girls who were 7 and 5 when we went last year- would thoroughly recommend.


Breakfast is great and there is an outdoor play area as well if you don't want to be at Disney all day.

My girls loved the explorers hotel. Cheap and cheerful. Basic rooms but two fab pirate ships (one in the lobby and one outdoors), a soft play area and a large swimming pool with slides etc. one of mine has allergies and they were very accommodating with the manager making her meals and storing and warming food brought from home. This made a huge difference to our trip.

Shuttle bus to the parks and nice to be away from the parks in the evening actually.

Didn't like the bedding and the bath was tiny, but then you get what you pay for when it comes to the rooms.

We stayed in an Air BNB apartment in Chessy, one stop 3 minutes on RER train from Disneyland.


Obviously didn't have the magic or facilities like pools etc of some of the hotels but meant we could self cater, taking picnics each day and had space to relax after children had gone to bed. As we were a large group (4 children) it was significantly cheaper than any hotel I could find at the time and made it possible. They all loved the parks but great for us to have a quiet base at the end of each day.

We stayed at explorers as well. Had adjoining room for the girls with bunk beds. They loved the pool and the soft play. One night getting back from Disney the shuttles were so busy we had to walk but it's not far. If you time it right and don't leave when everyone else is its fine.

Thank you for all of your postings. As I really do not intend to return, we've gone for a two night stay at a Davey Crocket lodge, half board plus:) Mickey cafe character meal here we come.


I'm currently stocking up on disney stuff 'a la' ed charity shops?. Also we'll take the Elsa dresses?. The children will love it!

We had a fantastic time and I hope you do to!


We were given advise before we went and so took lots of fruit with us and water bottles.

We used the ice from the hotel ice machine to keep things cool and made snacks from the breakfast buffet to get us through the day, without having to eat their not very healthy on-site lunches.


Probably saved a fortune as bottles of water were 5 Euros each. It's a cornered market once you're there - very pricey and no alternatives unless you go outside...


The hotels were fantastic and really easy to get around, whereever you stay!

      It was an absolute shit show. And so much anger coming from both sides, not becoming at all (was surprised how riled cool Rishi was getting).  Agree about the format, it was lazy, whatsherchops wasn't asking pertinent questions, she was just going for binary yesses or nos. The producers didn't force either side to drill down on anything, just make commitments so they got good soundbites.  If I hear 'my father was a tool maker' / my wife's a nurse / my father was a GP one more time... as if any of those things qualify anyone to fix / understand anything.

      Insurance following subsidence

      By x2000traveller · Posted

      Good.  Subsidence claims generally have an excess of £1000 per claim, but was yours higher?

      Buying house with historic subsidence

      By x2000traveller · Posted

      Indeed, many house here have had or will have subsidence issues so one needs to bear that in mind.  Many houses here have shallow foundations but they have been around 100 years or so without too much issue. What the surveyor has told you doesn't feel like a 'red flag', more of a sensible warning.  Bear in mind that although the surveyor is nominally working for you, their focus iln reality is mostly on the lender and the risk of being sued, either by them or you.  So they are always pretty cautious.  It would be wise to get a 2nd opinion, eg. from a structural engineer.  Or talk  to the original surveyor directly as they may say more than they are prepared to put in a report.  It's a little difficult from the description to identify what the situation is but the scenario in which part of a property has been underpinned and the rest has not is fairly common here.  The proximity of trees is likely to be the main thing to be concerned about, particularly after the hot summer of 2002, as insurers generally regard them as risky, especially if they are not cut back from time to time.  A second surveyor can advise directly on this. It would definitely be worth trying to take over the current buildings insurance.  Indeed, it may be quite hard to find new cover.  Enquire what the current premium is and who the policy is ultiimately underwitten by (ie. is it a name that you have ever heard of?)  The insurance industry, in general, works to a guideline that the insurance of an underpinned property should transfer to a new owner.   https://www.biba.org.uk/insurance-guides/home-insurance-guides/subsidence/

      More than the 2 contestants, the format and production was the main fault last night - allowing 45 seconds for an answer will get you those responses from any 2 candidates Awful show
