I think £10 per day to park the Eurostar train sounds quite cheap!

You don't need to spend anywhere near £30 a day on food, you COULD do that quite easily but when we went we had breakfast included at the hotel and just bought sandwiches from the wee shop in train station for during the day.
We ate out at Planet Hollywood and a couple of other places for dinner but you could just as easily eat at McDonalds every day if you didn't want to spend too much.
We flew to CDG when we went(we're in Glasgow so Eurostar isn't much good) and just got the TGV train to the park, took 10 minutes and was completely stress free.
I'd also recommend getting breakfast with the characters as they just come round the tables whereas the queues to meet them elsewhere are ridiculous and continental europeans just don't get the concept of orderly queuing, expect much jostling and attempted queue jumping. Not a good idea to get into a fight at a kids theme park.

Disneyland Paris isn't a cheap break. Just a word of warning, here are a few costs

£140 in fuel and tolls for me (I live 140 miles from home to Dover), total of about 700 mile round trip. In reality it is closer to £325 if you factor in the real cost of driving a car at 35p-45p per mile if you don't have a company car. (Unsure what 35-45p per mile means, read up before commenting)

Food and drink in Disney can set you back £30 each easily a day.

Parking about £10 a day

£40 for AA European cover, possibly cheaper with other companies, unless you already have cover, some bank accounts include breakdown.

Health insurance extra, check your bank account may include travel insurance

Exchange rate is 1.08 € to £, not great, so everything will be expensive. A burger, fries and drink for four would cost a minimum of £75 at Annetts Diner if you bought the cheapest €16 burger and €4 soda each.

You have to allow upto 4hrs driving from calais to Disney with a stop. The last time I went was when the exchange rate was 1.4 and had 3 days in the parks, 4 nights in hotel plus all the above costs. Spending over £1000 for 3 days in the cold, wet, miserable parks. So we decided to never return and have been to florida three times since, booking last minute, our last trip in June cost £5000 for the whole holiday and expenses for a luxury villa with pool, massive suv, ate out all the time, flights, treats, disney and universal tickets, photopass for the memories. £5000 is much more than a Paris trip, but had 2 weeks in Florida. If you ever get the chance to go to Florida, you won't go back to Paris, but if you have never been Parc Astrix nearby is great and so is Disney Studios.

As ever no good if you've got school age children :disappointed:

I just take them out of school too

Derbyshire council now alow 2 weeks holiday in term time per year fee free

Just be careful as the government hasn't given up on this. Last time i read about this the Isle Of Wight had decided they were not going to waste anymore money but the government said it had to continue and they would fund the appeal.

we booked a few weeks ago and have taken advantage of a couple of inset days, and are going 9-12 Feb, £466 for 3 nights for a family of 4 including ferry crossing, park tickets and half board at Santa Fe. well chuffed!!

Sorry to have to ask, I'm not sure how it works (Child has only been at school since September). If I wanted to take my child on holiday, say these dates, would I tell the school I'm taking them out for holiday reasons? Sickness? Attendance won't be an issue but curious what most parents say. Thanks (Voted hot).
