Eurodisney is very expensive. We went by eurostar and it is certainly the way to travel. However, getting to London was a bit of a pain. :cry: :cry: We first went six years ago but it was at a quiet time. This time we went the same week as the French school holidays started. Mad, Mad, Mad! :shock: :shock:

Anyway sorry you are leaving - I'm sure you'll be missed, by the kiddies if not the staff.

I tried Tommy to book Eurodisney, but he had very little success because of the French holidays. Ended up creating the holiday through three different companies.

There are one/two shops and a few cafes inside the Eurodisney station, outside the main gate into Eurodisney - they are cheaper than the shops/cafes inside - you can get your hand stamped, and go out and come back in - or stock up before you go in !

I decided on Tuesday to phone Tommy Millar who is working from home now as a travel counsellor. His voicemail said he was away from his desk until Tuesday evening but would call back as soon as he got a message. I told him what I was looking for and said I would call him on Wednesday. He called me on Wednesday at just after 9am with some suggestions and by Wednesday afternoon I had a holiday booked with better flights than I had picked out - much nicer accommodation than I had looked at - and all for less money too. So don't forget Tommy is there like I nearly did!!


Just to return to the main point made at the beginning of this thread, we also spent hours browsing the net thinking we could save a fortune booking ourselves. Eventually thought I would give Tommy a shout and within half an hour he had us fixed up with cheaper flights at excellent departure and return times.

Definitely give him a shout before wasting your time scanning "great deal" after "great deal"

Not sure how it works for Tommy sweltered but I continue to be impressed! A phone call from his head office in Bolton this morning to check that I will be home tomorrow to sign for my tickets - and a little card in the post today from Tommy to thank us for the booking and wish us a good holiday! Like Campbell A, I too will definitely be using him again - soon I hope :D :D

Gee thanks for sharing that Jeanette :D :D . Abbey Craigs brother is in Kissimmee and he said it was very wet but clearing by lunchtime and hitting 90 - that bit sounds good :lol: :lol: MY TICKETS CAME TODAY!!! I spent today at work trawling through my Florida "bible" with a hi-lighter pen marking out the things to put on the "to do" list - and our travel counsellor has just emailed to say he has reserved our seats for us :D :D - enjoy your holiday - where are you?

The rain can get very heavy, but it doesn't last long. Not so sure about Orlando, but we tend to get the rain and thunderstorms late in the afternoon.

All part of the fun :lol:

It doesn't rain here, that's maybe why Hollywood Blvd looks like Sauchiehall St, I was referring to Florida
