Disneyland Eurostar Deals and Paris Breaks

Alex — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 22:44:45 +0000

The problem with flying (as any regular traveller to Paris will tell you) is that it can take twice as long to get from Charles de Gaulle airport to your hotel.

The Eurostar, on the other hand, offered smooth check-in, more leg-room than the Mayor’s Bentley, a decent food and drink menu – and the promise of being delivered straight into the Gare du Nord. Actually, that last bit isn’t true, because the train we were on went one better and arrived within sight of our hotel at Disneyland Resort Paris.

Through-fares from Stafford to Paris, Brussels and the resort itself start from £80 standard return and £210 Leisure Select return with Eurostar and Virgin Trains. There are 12 services a day to Paris, and seven services to Brussels throughout the year. In just 5 hours 20 minutes, you will be in the heart of Disneyland Resort Paris. Very impressive.

Just a couple of hundred yards from the swish Marne la Vallee terminal stands the Hotel New York, where the rooms are themed around the city that never sleeps, with stylish furnishings, plenty of room and lashings of Big Apple attitude.

The staff, as always with Disney, were exceptionally friendly, dispelling the myth that the French wouldn’t buy into Walt’s vision, heart and soul.

The disadvantage with flying, as any regular taker of Paris breaks will tell you is that it can take twice as long to get from Charles de Gaulle airport to your hotel. The Eurostar high speed train on the other hand, offers a smooth check-in, more leg-room than the President’s Bentley, a genuinely decent food and drink menu and the promise of arriving straight into the Gare du Nord in Paris. Or in the case of Disneyland arriving within sight of the hotel at Disneyland Resort Paris.

Through-fares from Birmingham to Paris, Brussels and the resort itself start from around £80 standard return and £210 Leisure Select by choosing Eurostar deals in conjunction with Virgin Trains. There are 12 Eurostar trains a day to Paris, and seven services to Brussels throughout the year. In just 5 hours 20 minutes, you will be in the heart of Disneyland Resort Paris. Very impressive.

Just a couple of hundred yards from the smart Marne la Vallee Eurostar terminal stands the Hotel New York, where the rooms are themed around the US city with stylish furnishings, plenty of room and lashings of American attitude. Local staff are exceptionally friendly, in accordance with the Disneyland vision.

Eurostar Paris Breaks from London at Full Speed in February

The section of the Channel Tunnel hit by a serious fire last September, causing changes to the Eurostar Paris timetable, will be reopened in three weeks time, tunnel operator Eurotunnel has announced.

The part of the tunnel known as “interval six” will reopen in the early hours of 10 February, said Eurotunnel who are responsible for the tunnel through which Eurostar trains travel.

High speed passenger service Eurostar said that from 23 February it would return to a normal timetable with all services to Paris and London operating at full speed. So that’s great news for anybody booking Paris breaks for the near future.
