EUROSTAR Travel Guide - Things you need to know!/LONDON to EUROPE & return

[@99johnsonb]

Great informative video! Me and my family are making our first trip do Disneyland Paris and you've given us some really helpful stuff, especially the CIV ticket, i will definitely be looking into that. Can I ask, after going through passport control at St Pancreas, what shops/food & drink choices are there? We are going to be catching the 7.04 train to disneyland so will be up very early and thinking if it would be better to get some food to take with us the night before or just get something once we are checked in.

Hi there and thanks so much for watching, so glad I could be of help. Firstly, if you want to see anymore Disneyland Paris content check out our 2nd channel - Disney Brownies, lots of videos on there and 2 videos going up every week from our Spring trip this year. So, we have never caught as early train as that from London to Disney so it's hard for me to advise as to what will be open/available. We usually get food/meal deals from Boots in Kings Cross or Food from M&S in St Pancras just before we check in and then we know the food will be ok to still eat as soon as we get on the Eurostar, BUT I am not sure whether those places will be open prior to your departure. TOP TIP if you do buy food before you depart, double check the boards in the departures to check your Eurostar is on time, so you can judge when to buy the food or it might be in your bags much longer than you think. There really isn't much when you get through past security, just a couple of cafe (Pret)/bars - which from experience can be packed. Sometimes, you can get a seat at the bar - but we only buy drinks and they are quiet pricey. Personally, I think your best bet would be to buy ahead or make things ahead and pop into a little cooler pack or something if you think you might need and then you are good to go when on the Eurostar. Having said that I would think there will be something open in Kings Cross/St Pancras. By the way, there is a good Greggs in Kings Cross and a Pret. Thinking of timewise though you will be needing to check in 5.30am ish...not sure what will be open. Just looking at some websites for you and Pret within St Pancras, this is the one after security appears to be open 5.30am and Sunday 6am. stpancras.com/eat-drink/pret-a-manger If you look on St Pancras website it shows what eateries they have but not many are actually through security, think it is only Pret. Greggs in Kings Cross might be open, but think other places will be a bit later after you check in. Hope any of this helps you further. Thanks again for watching!. Have a wonderful Disney trip and if you need any more info then feel free to comment on any of our other Disney content.

Hi, thank you for this 🙌 So much detailed info , it’s so valuable! I’m so sorry to hear about the delay coming home & everything that went with it! But so pleased that both Eurostar & LNER were so helpful & got you home safe and sound! I can only imagine how quite stressful that feeling is knowing that you’ll miss a connecting train! I have experienced this in the U.K. when I’ve travelled to Yorkshire & Cornwall ( especially the latter , should have arrived in Newquay around 4pm & it was about 7pm when we actually got there! ) I’d never heard of the CIV add on to your tkt so that’s very interesting. But over the past few years I’ve booked tkts via an app , so as you say it’s unavailable that way & needs to be bought at a station. Good to know 🙌 X

Hi Debbie, so glad the video was useful for you - that was my aim!. So pleased you got some valuable content from this. Thanks as always in watching!. Disney video out tomorrow on Disney Brownies, so excited for the series...really hope you enjoy it!. I thought on this channel, The Brownie Life it made sense to do more of an overview on the Eurostar, as they cover so many destinations - which I must add we definitely want to travel to and I was really hoping this video would add value to people - who wanted to know more about Eurostar, but not necessarily Disneyland Paris. Lucky for us, we have you Debbie who watch both - thanks again.x

No idea why I said Disney Brownie video out tomorrow...I obviously meant Friday at 4pm!x

We went on the Eurostar in 2017 and jumped on and off trains for 2 weeks covering 12 different Cities. Coming back we didn’t realise there are 2 train stations in Paris and had to run from one to the other. We managed to jump on the train last minute 😅

Hi Jacqui, thanks so much for your comment and watching us!. WOW...you have definitely given me a great idea there for KZbin, not sure I would be able to persuade Emily's Dad to do all that travelling!, he would love too obviously but time off work etc and you have to factor in the costs. We have so many more travel adventures coming and what you did is something I have spoken about with Emily and her Dad previously...watch this space, see where our adventures lead us too. I remember flying to and from CDG Airport Paris and getting off at the wrong terminal, I had taken my mum that trip and managed in my much younger years to get her all the way round Paris without getting lost and then got lost in the Airport, so I know the feeling!. Thanks again. x

@@thebrownielife2957 We did it last week of July first of August, so not the cheapest time. Plus we only took carry on luggage which was a big challenge for me 😂

There are 6 or 7 main stations in Paris (depending on how you count them) so it can get even more confusing!

[@jacqui9026]

@@g745-z2r Didn’t know that would’ve been interesting 😬

[@thebrownielife2957]

A great achievement though, to do all them stops but also to travel light!...well done you. Definitely on my top list to do - travel round by train to different places within Europe!.
