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 worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
