British travellers can slash hundreds of pounds off Disneyland Paris holidays if they book through the local French site instead of the UK domain. The latest travel hack means UK holiday goers can get the same holiday booking and family tickets for more than £100 cheaper.
The lit-up Cinderella Castle, dining with Mickey and staying in the new Marvel hotel is often described as a 'once in a lifetime experience', but taking the whole family to Disneyland is not the cheapest of holiday options. Even choosing nearby Paris as opposed to Orlando, Florida can still amount to an expensive break.
Those who book their next stay through the French Disneyland Paris website (disneylandparis.fr) as opposed to the UK one (disneylandparis.com) will save money, on the exact same booking. The hack was pointed out by consumer experts at Which as part of their latest Disneyland Paris tips, so we've decided to put it to the test.
We opened up both the French and UK version of the site and found some huge savings on various hotel bookings and park tickets. Comparing the prices of the same hotel for the same amount of nights and people came out £100 on the French site.
A crucial element to note is travellers should not click on the United Kingdom flag in the top right corner once on the French site and we noticed the prices change back to the higher UK rates once we did this. Instead, copy and paste the booking information to translate.
The price of a three-night stay at the Disney Newport Bay Club on April 17 to 19 (for two adults and two children) came to a total of £2,657 on the UK site compared to the £2,565 total on the French site.
The booking on the local site also gave bookers the option of splitting the cost over five payments free of charge, whereas the site used more often by UK travellers did not.
The same stay at the Disney Sequoia Lodge came to €2,655.25 (£2,327) compared to the pound sterling price on the UK site, which was £2,412.13.
The travel hack was noticeable on bookings at the Disney Hotel Cheyenne, where the UK price was also £100 more expensive at £2,275.84 compared to the local converted price of £2,195.52 (or €2505.22).
The saving also extends over onto individual park tickets where parkgoers can save a few pounds when booking on the local site too. One park ticket for an adult on April 17 is £112 per adult, compared to €124 euro price on the French site which is slightly cheaper when converted to Pound Sterling, £108 each.
