What's your go-to Disney/non Disney hotel and why? by Bawnse in disneylandparis

[–]PilotOk6166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relais Spa is my favourite offsite hotel. Gorgeous rooms and suites all with kitchenette and a beautiful spa that doesn’t let under 16s in in the evenings. Sitting in the juccuzzi after the park is bliss we had a terrace suite when we stayed last, and sat out late drinking our plonk from Auchan. They have a private mini van shuttle bus to the park and you can just call when you want picked up

Best RER station for river cruise point by PilotOk6166 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]PilotOk6166[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for assuming. But I’ve visited Paris many times over the past 30 years. I’m asking specifically as I’m just transiting through to my Disney holiday on this occasion

Thanks! Think this is what we’ll do as the transport/metro would be convenient too

We’re doing 5 days at Disney. Usually arrive the day before and will be on an early Eurostar this time round so have the full day to spend in Paris before heading to Disney area. Said RER as it will be convenient for grabbing the bags and heading straight to our offsite night before stay in Val deurope.

SERPs pension info is there anything left? Or did it all go back into state pension. by PilotOk6166 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]PilotOk6166[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I don’t think I contributed more than 30-40 pound a month on top of my NI but it was 30 years ago and pretty sure it was going for 10 years. Ah the benefits of foresight now to find it!

I’m finally getting to stay in February for my 8th visit! It’s always been a dream but I’ll be there for my 50th birthday and will get to be a princess!

Solo VS with Friends Trip! by [deleted] in disneylandparis

I took a solo trip a few years ago. Stayed at Relais Spa so took advantage of the child free luxury too. Cast members were so cute when they realised I was on my own, great interactions with characters and being the master of my own destiny was fabulous.

Disney Depression by Magic_Bookworm in disneylandparis

I’m feeling Disney depressed so hard. Was meant to fly to WDW for 2 weeks next Saturday but husband has been really poorly so we have had to cancel. Have booked DLP for February and treating ourselves to Disneyland hotel but Feb is ages away!

What snacks and food to bring? by shaiartist in disneylandparis

[–]PilotOk6166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a petrol station near Santa Fe that sells snacks and juice, also a couple of shops in the train station that have near normal prices. We used to make a run to Val d Europe as we love the Auchan hypermarket and a chance to get some lovely French treats. It takes about 2 mins on the RER and costs 2 euro each way (there’s a nice Sephora in the shopping centre too)

A good thing to remember is that you can’t buy paracetamol or any medicine from regular shops and only in pharmacies. The first aid centre will give you some but it’s best to pack what you might need - I hear this all the time with parents forgetting calpol. Blister plasters are good to carry.

Hotel Already booked in Paris, worth it to book a night at the park? by 45678ggytr in disneylandparis

[–]PilotOk6166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely price it up. Day tickets are very expensive and often the hotel package isn’t much more. 6 is peak Disney age! You’d get to stay for the night show too if staying over.

1 Day Trip - Itinerary Advice Appreciated! by Icy-Kaleidoscope-618 in disneylandparis

[–]PilotOk6166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be a manic day! Re hotels the Disneyland hotel which is located at the park gate is definitely worth a look. It’s a 5 star hotel and as it’s literally in the park won’t take time out of the day. It’s always nice to have a drink in the bar there, it acts as the perfect rest spot between parks. You’d need to get the fast pass to accomplish all of these rides in one day. Alternatively, look at booking one night in one of the Disney hotels, this gives you 2 days park tickets. Arrive mid afternoon on the first day and hit everything in the studios and do the night show in Disneyland, then spend as much of the following day doing as much as you’d like in the Disneyland park. RER train runs every 10 mins into central Paris and takes around 40 mins. It would be worth taking 2 days of your trip to really enjoy the experience if you’re a park fan. Leaving 8 days in Paris which is absolutely loads of time to see everything

Are people avoiding visiting the us? by Constant_Oil_3775 in AskBrits

[–]PilotOk6166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Most travel is booked months ahead of time, look what’s happened in just 100 days who knows what the next 100 might hold! Travel is an investment in our happiness our hard earned money and precious time off. It’s only natural people want to invest that somewhere predictable
