Mickey mouse prices for French

When you are booking a package for your family to visit the premier European "parc d'attractions" do it from France, because booking from Britain or Germany can be considerably dearer. According to the Financial Times a French family will pay 1346 euros, a British family 1870 euros and a family from Germany a whopping 2447 euros. Since the packages are for hotels and entry to the park and not for travel the prices are simply related to the place where one books. The EU has received complaints, but say it is for the French government to ensure that customers are all treated fairly. It is also possible that intermediary agents use their websites to set prices.
Best practice seems to be to book direct using the French Disneyland website, using a French address.
