Paris Stay - cheap but nice

[Greedyfly]

Am looking to take my sister to paris for her birthday early next year but am on a tight budget. Need a flight (not so hard to come by), hotel (cheap but NICE) and entrance to Disney Land for a day. Where is best to find these things. Disney website does not let you book that far in advance. I know entrance is steep - I may be able to pick up tix on Ebay etc... Im more worried about a central hotel that wont cost the earth and that is clean.

Any suggestions welcome thanks

What a lovely sister you are!
For your tickets I really would buy either on the gate or as part of your package deal. I would not, if you are on a tight budget, risk the tickets being 'lost in the post' and TBH, buying on Ebay doesn't necessarily mean you WILL get them cheaper. The cheapest place to buy is at the park itself.
How old is your sister? Like you say it is pretty easy to get cheap flights ot Paris, but it could work out cheaper for you to actually get a package deal to stay in one of the cheaper Disney hotels (Santa Fe or Davy Crockett) rather than pay separately for a hotel and tickets. If your sister is under 7, she will go free as part of Disney's 15 year celebrations until the end of March 2008.
My own personal choice would be to stay in a Paris suburb rather than in the city itself. We always go in a caravan using Keycamps when we do Disney - the Paris International site is very good for getting to Disneyland as there is a train station a 15 minute walk from the site and the train pulls in ight outside the gate at Disney
I don't know much about hotels in Paris I'm afraid but I am sure you will loads of ideas form other AB'ers
Have fun, what ever you decide - you'll LOVE it !

Just to add to 'under 7's going free' - only as part of a package deal :)

Thanks for all the info - Its actually for her 18th birthday lol

LOL, well 18 year old's enjoy it as much as 7 year olds :)

Did a price check for you for Keycamp, and whilst you will have to drive there - ferry price included in the price of �145 for 7 nights, - or take the train, I doubt you'll find cheaper for a hotel. This price was based on a start date of 8th April.

I priced up last night a trip for 2 adults and one child of 4, travelling by Eurostar to Disneyland staying in the Santa Fe hotel for 3 nights and it came to �589 which was a pretty good bargain actually. This included return train fares and all we needed to do then was find a way to Ashford train station about a 30 min drive from us (my mum! LOL)

What ever you decide you will have fun
