Price of tickets to visit Disneyland Paris 'set to soar'
Ticket prices at Disneyland Paris are expected to soar after President Nicolas Sarkozy last week announced a huge increase in the sales tax paid by the sector.
His announcement comes at a crucial time for operator Euro Disney, as it is hoping to attract bumper crowds next year for the 20th anniversary of its Paris theme park.
The increase will push up sales tax on French theme parks from
5.5 per cent to 19.6 per cent. It is part of a package of measures designed to reduce the country's deficit and help it retain its valuable AAA credit rating.
The deficit is projected to fall
from 7.1 per cent to 5.7 per cent by the end of 2011, thanks to
measures that are due to raise €12 billion (£10.6 billion) over the
next two years. They also include tax increases on high earners,
alcohol, tobacco and sugared drinks.
Disneyland Paris attracted 15
million visitors last year, making it Europe's most-visited theme park.
Its prices are already regarded as high - a two-day adult ticket costs
£108, compared with £40 at Staffordshire's AltonTowers, Britain's most-visited theme park.
Nonetheless, Disneyland Paris notched up a five per cent increase in attendance in the nine months to June.

To be honest I wouldn't be bothered going there anyway, if I want to go to Disney I'll go to the proper one in America. The French can't do Disney, have no time for American culture but being the hypocrites they are they were quite happy for it to be built there just so that they could fill their pockets. Disneyland Paris is just a poor imitation of the real thing and always will be. If Disney was French do you honestly think they'd be hiking the tax on it? No way. It was a big mistake by the Yanks building it in Paris, they should've built it in Spain or Italy.

We are going back to the magic! « Dedicated to Disneyland Paris
While we always had an idea that we would go back to Disneyland Paris next year, we’d never actually got to the point of making it a definite plan. Now we have got to that point and at the moment June 2012 is when we are thinking of going for our 11th visit to Disneyland Paris. Last time we went in September and loved that time of year due to the nice weather and low crowds, but Lucas starts school next year so September is out of the question. We’d like to avoid summer if possible as the parks are really busy and with a 4 year old, as Lucas will be in May next year, the late opening hours are not so much of a concern. So, June it is!
Our last trip was 3 nights and 4 days, which is the standard length of our trips to Disneyland Paris. Lucas was a bit thrown out by all the travel and was a bit subdued for the first 24 hours in the park, and even though we think he’ll be fine 2 years on and 2 years older, we have decided to go for 5 nights and 6 days. We’d already decided to extend the trip by one day but on a whim a few days ago we decided to add another day and got for 6 days. This will be our longest stay in Disneyland Paris since we had our honeymoon there in 2003.
At the moment the accommodation is looking to cost about £580, with Eurostar adding between £130-200 depending on what price we can get when we book. We usually leave from Ashford on a Monday and to avoid rush hour traffic we stay in a local hotel in Ashford the night before. This time we plan to leave on a Sunday and drive directly to Ashford station on Sunday morning. Sunday morning traffic will be so much less frantic than a Monday morning and we can offset the amount it will cost for that extra 5th night with money saved by not staying in Ashford the night before. The quote for the accomodation and park tickets actually comes not from disneylandparis.com but from Leisure Direction who I booked our first holiday to Disneyland Paris with back in 2002, and our subsequent trip later on that year. They are £50+ cheaper but before I book anything I need to explore the shareholder discount options with Disneyland Paris direct and also wait for any offers which at the moment don’t extend to June 2012. It’s always a dilemma for me; book early and have peace of mind that is everything is in place, or wait for an offer that may never come and also may lead to seats on Eurostar not being available.
