Upcoming trip to France in July 2-8.
Do we need to prebook:
1) round trip train travel Paris to Bayeux (single day travel: wife has wanted to see Bayeux tapestry for a long time).
2) Disneyland Paris tickets (1 day tickets as a treat for the kids)
3) 1 hr Seine River cruise (not dinner)
I've seen various answers and am confused if these are likely to sell out or how much prices rise closer to the dates.
1 and 2 I don't know but 3 is a no, you can pretty much order tix online while in line.
Disney is not like the old days. You cannot purchase the tickets at the entrance. You must buy tickets online either for a specific date, or undated. But for undated, then you must register them for the date you want, so that’s not really applicable to your trip with specific dates. Dates sell out in advance. Please check the Disney Paris website asap so you don’t have disappointed kids. (Sometimes things within the parks require reservations as well, but I don't about specifically for Paris.)
Paraphrasing From the Disney Paris website: due to high demand our Disney parks are full on many days. Check back regularly to see availability. (I think availability changes because I think there is some flexibility in changing dates within/before a certain time period.) You'll have to check the website for details.
You don't need to buy the train tickets far in advance but you can get cheaper ones if you do. There is no 'round trip'. tickets are always one way even if you buy them as round trip -- you still get two one way tickets. Check to make sure the Bayeux Tapestry is available; they are closing the site for renovations. You want to know that before traveling there. Hope it is available when you want to go, it is pretty wonderful.
Book specific date for Disneyland. It sells out.
Seine cruises, just walk up when you want to go and buy a ticket -- I'd do that an hour ahead for Vedettes Pont Neuf but I don't know how soon the lineup starts for the other cruises.
Thanks. We booked Disneyland and the train travel. Tapestry museum looks to be closing in 2025 so we're under the wire. Thanks for the advice!
