Eurodisney is the most popular holiday resorts in Europe but unfortunately it is not one of the cheapest. Here are a few easy tips for you to help enjoy your trip without breaking the bank
Visit Eurodisney off-season:
Weekends and school holidays are the busiest times to visit Eurodisney. Instead visit during the week and - if your holidays permit - outside the popular holiday months. You will be able to get cheaper hotel deals, and find great offers and packages that will save you a lot of money. Eurodisney makes special effort during Halloween and Christmas making these off-season times a great time to visit.
Book Eurodisney hotels online:
Online Eurodisney hotel bookings offer better deals and you will be able to compare prices on the many hotels near the Eurodisney resort. Many of the cheaper hotels are not available through the established travel agents, and operate only online to keep their costs down. Booking independently online allows you to visit exactly on the days that you want, making it easier to choose a less popular time.
Bring your own food:
Go shopping at the nearby supermarkets and keep food in your room. Stock plenty of crisps, fruit, juices and water. They don't require a fridge, so if your room doesn't have one they will last easily during your stay without going off. Your own shopping will provide a quick snack between meals. This means great savings on the overall costs of your trips as the hotels and the Eurodisney can be very expensive.
Eat breakfast:
Most Eurodisney hotels offer a good buffet breakfast to suit all tastes ranging from continental to eggs and bacon. Eat a hearty breakfast, and it will keep you going the whole day. A good, filling breakfast will mean less snacking, avoiding the expensive on-resort restaurants, and less crankiness due to low blood sugar.
Stay at a self-catering Eurodisney hotel:
Choosing a self-catering Eurodisney hotel will help you save a lot of money. You will be able to stock food over your stay, prepare sandwiches for the day and avoid the greasy fast food. Self-catering is especially a good way to save money if you're travelling with children or a large group of people. Most self-catering Eurodisney hotels are equipped withmicrowave ovens, fridges and kitchen utensils so all you need to bring is your own food.
Have a picnic:
Unfortunately you are not allowed to have a picnic inside the Eurodisney park, but there is a dedicated area for picnics right outside the gates.Make sandwiches or buy some from the local shop and leave them in the car. Freeze bottles of water beforehand and store them with your sandwiches. The icy water will keep your sandwiches cool, and the will ice have melted into nice cold drink by the time you are ready to have your picnic.
