British holidaymakers booking trips to Disneyland Paris could save up to hundreds of pounds by using the resort’s French, German and Italian websites.
But the money-saving hack all depends upon when you want to visit, which hotel you want to stay at and if you want meals to be included.
This is because each country’s version of the site runs different promotions at different times of the year with some deals including free meal plans and discounted park tickets.

For example, the cost for a family of four for three nights at the Sequoia Lodge with park tickets for four days, between August 3 and August 6, is £1,679 on the UK site. This includes half-board, which the site says is worth £507, and a 100 euro (£84) gift card.
However, the same break on the French version of the site is £1,067 (1,254 euros) – a saving of £612. And even though the French booking does not include meals, the saving is £105 more than the cost of half board.
There is a discount because the French site is currently running a promotion, until February 18, for up to 35 per cent off with under-12s going free.
Similarly, the German, Italian and Dutch versions of the Disneyland Paris site are also running a promotion at the moment for ‘early bird discount’ for trips between April and November 2020, which includes up to 25 per cent off and free half board.
