They seem to do only multi day packages online. I want to stay two nights at a Disney hotel but only need a one day park hopper pass. Do I need to call Paris myself?
 
None of the country websites of Disneyland Paris do what you describe, this is an option not available in Paris. The only way to do this is to book a hotel only and then tickets separately. You could book a room only via phone with Disney directly, or go to websites like hotels.com, booking.com, trivago.com, expedia.com etc. to book a hotel and then tickets online via the Disney website.

I would rather just book a hotel only on Expedia.com or Hotels.com and then just buy a one day ticket either online or in person while you are there.
 
I booked my trip on Expedia (I did do a package and got a better price than on all the different country websites) and it went very smoothly. I would definitely recommend using Expedia.
 


How far out from your travel date were you able to book on Expedia? I am planning a London/Paris trip for late May/early June 2020. My family wants to stay one night on Disneyland property at the end of our trip. I had no idea that I couldn't book a single night on the Disney website. I can book a package for early June now, but I am not finding anything on the other booking sites. I'm guessing it's too soon?
 
It may just be too early. I just booked the end of March, but I was also looking at the 1st week of April and rates had not been released for those dates yet. You'll probably have to wait a few more weeks.
 
Just FYI, I booked through the U.K. Website for a much better rate than the US was offering. I just looked and it looks like you can book through June 14th right now. My package includes the room, tickets, and 1/2 board meal plan for the same price that Expedia was offering for just the room and tickets. The UK site saved me about $100 off what the US site was offering.
 


I was looking on the Spain website and found that package for June for $300 less than on the US site. However, it's a minimum of two nights, and I only need one night. I'll either have to wait for single nights to be released to Expedia or talk my husband into staying one more night. ;)
 
Speaking of DLP rates, you might already be aware of that, there is a difference between WDW/DR and DLP in that it is not against DLP's policy to book a fare for another region that the one you're living in (they call it a “cross-offer”). It is best to do that by calling (since the website won't let you choose another country).
 
What do you mean by a single night? Do you mean room only, or just one night (with park tickets for 2 days)? Because the later you certainly can! And there are also deals available for one night stays. If you couldn't find it, it might because you clicked a different deal which did dictate you had to stay longer
The latter is exactly what I want! When I put in my dates and search all hotels, the website tells me there are no packages available for those dates. The super early bird booking does require a two night minimum. Maybe it's just too early for anything else. I'm glad to know that I have booking options. Thanks!

I never have a problem switching to other countries. There is a little flag in the upper right hand corner of the site. When I click on that, I can select any region on the globe, and then any country within that region.

You can change your country this way, I was referring to the fact that once you're making a reservation, the website won't let you enter any country as your address, which might be a problem if you don't actually live there and don't want to make up an address.

Just leave the country as is, and put in your real address and country in the address field. They don't send you anything in the mail.
 
I have looked at a few other countries. None that I checked are offered a one night package yet. I'll keep checking. Thank you so much for pointing out that it can be done through Disney.

That's what I was saying. You can make up an address if you want, and if for any reason you do not, just call them and they will work it out for you.

I am just stressing this out because this is the opposite of how things work in the US, where they have SoCal/Florida rates, Canadian rates at WDW that requires the guests to show an ID…

Sorry for the delay as work has been crazy! I booked in January for May. I'm sure you could look now for May of next year. 8-)

I called direct and was told that dates after April 1 require a 2 night minimum stay. That may be the error message you are getting. I have been speaking with a Disney UK travel specialist and they are giving Me really good info and they are coming in under disney prices by a few hundred euro

They don't allow single nights during their busy season (after April 1st thru the fall"
