England & France: Cities of Knights & Lights (London & Paris) Meets Thread

I'm curious, if you don't mind, how much are they charging for the DLP add-on these days?

Thanks!
Sayhello

Were you able to get any more info on the DLP add-on? We are going in June 2016 and are told it may not even be a available (which would be a major bummer). Thanks

No, I haven't. Actually, I was just curious. I've already done this ABD, and just wondered how much it's gone up since 2011.

Sayhello
 
We are so excited! We (me, DH, and DD (10)) just booked the June 6, 2016 adventure. We have pre and post days as well, and I am looking into booking some time at Disneyland Paris. I know the add on isn't available but talking with Kevin, it looks like something that could be easily arranged. Can't wait!
 
We did the DLP add-on last Christmas. We had a blast. It was expensive (we stayed at the Disneyland Hotel--highly recommended). I had been to DLP several times before but it was great for my son who needed to "ride some rides" after London and Paris. The post-days did not become available for quite a while after we booked the trip. I think it has to do with when DLP releases packages and rates. I'd say just be patient and keep checking with your TA. However, you can probably do it cheaper on your own and it's pretty easy to get there from Paris.
 


We have purchased the Disneyland Paris post package which includes a 2 night stay at Disneyland® Hotel, daily breakfast, 3 day Park Hopper ticket, transfer from Paris to your hotel and from the hotel to the airport. It was $2,800. I am not sure why it is 3 days in the park, as on the 3rd day you depart, and will not get any time in the park. Our trip is in late August.

While visiting DD during her semester abroad in London, we took the Eurostar to DLP so she could experience an international operation. (She knew she wants to work for Disney) We had the same package and did use the 3rd day, because our return train to London wasn't until 6 pm! :-)

Yes, flight times are to blame. The flight to get a nonstop back home has an early departure. I tried to add a night on to the two night Paris package, but that wasn't an option. We will plan well and make the most of our two full days!
 


Just be aware that the European Cup Football Championships are being held in France in June .

Starting June 13th . So security will be strict.
 
Just booked my air fare for my trip in May! It finally feels real that I am going on this trip. Can't wait to experience the new itinerary. 126 days and counting :)
 
Just purchased flights for our July 2016 ABD. We will be arriving two days before the tour begins. I was wondering if anyone has done a Downton Abbey tour and if you have any recommendations?

TIA for any insight.
 
My sister and I are booked for the September 16 Adults only trip. We have 2 pre days and the 2 post days at DLP and we are super excited!
 
Our ancestors are from Yorkshire and we are planning to take the train to our ancestral village on one of our pre days. I hoped to do a Downton Abbey tour the same day, so I did some research and was disappointed to find that, although it is set in Yorkshire it's not filmed there. I'd love to do it, but we probably won't have time.
 
Hello Praise2Him,

Just wondering why you are planning to spend time at DLP when there is so much to see , in and around Paris that you will

not be doing with ABD. ?

You will have traveled a long way to Paris just to spend your Pre Days at DLP . Try out Park Astrix for a change. ?

Oh, I wasn't very clear - sorry! The 2 pre days are in London. We're planning to have tea at Harrods, tour Kensington Palace and attend "The Mousetrap" at St. Martin's Theatre (huge Agatha Christie fan!) the first day. The second day we're taking the train to the village of Cottingham in Yorkshire, not that there's anything to do there, but it's where our ancestors came from so we want to see it, and I think we'll enjoy the train ride and seeing some of the English countryside.

I'd love to spend more time in Paris too, but unfortunately we are limited in the amount of days we can stay.
 
Praise2Him- those sound like good pre-day plans. I'd recommend tea at Fortnum and Mason's or the Orangery at Kensington Palace instead of Harrod's however. I would just go there to shop. But you don't even have to do that on a pre-day as I'm sure you'll have an afternoon on your own for it during the ABD.

Kensington is a self guided tour, so you go at your own pace, but make time for the lovely gardens. And get your tickets for the Mousetrap online in advance. I might leave that for an evening free during the ABD as well, as you might be too jet lagged to really enjoy it your first night. That happened to me; I'm also a huge Christie fan, and seeing the MT my first night in London was rough. I was practically falling asleep even though it's a wonderful play.
 
Next time spend more time in Paris .

This Time London ..... Try for tickets for " The London Eye "

Take a Quite Hour to visit St. Pauls Cathedral

Look at " Big Ben " and the history all around you.

Enjoy.

"I'd recommend tea at Fortnum and Mason's or the Orangery at Kensington Palace instead of Harrod's however" Harrods is fine place to buy commercial stuff. I believe Fortnum has much better products though and groceries !!!

You could eat at The Wonderful http://www.viamichelin.com/web/Restaurant/Mayfair-W1J_6BS-Benares-69398-41102 is excellent. I also loved Hakkasan

I'll take your recommendation for tea at one of those other places. Thanks!
I considered the jet lag issue with the play, but hoped it would help us stay awake and adjust to London time. I may have to reconsider that.

Oh yes! I forgot to mention that I was thrilled to learn that Windsor Castle is open for tours while we're there! That's our plan for Friday before the ABD starts.

We do have at least one dinner on our own in London (maybe two? Not sure). Would you recommend those restaurants for that?
