Hi all,

Does anyone have any first hand experience of storing bikes at Disneyland Paris hotels? specifically the Marvel one?

We are going with the Family to Morzine next year and taking bikes, and we are considering a stop off at Disney for the kids. I can't seem to find an answer as to whether there will be anywhere remotely secure to store the bikes, other than it seems pretty clear that they won't let you take them into the hotel room.

I have called the UK Disney guest services line, but they weren't hugely helpful unfortunately!

Has anyone done it? Or tried and failed in the past?

Last resort could be stuffing the bikes in the cars, but security and potential very high in-car temps (august) are putting me off this.

We’ve stopped at DLP hotels in the past with bikes on either the roof or trailer hitch. I would like to think the onsite hotels parking is relatively secure.

Given how busy the hotels are, I doubt anyone would stop you if you stored one in a room.

Thanks!

They would be a on a trailed hitch bike rack... I guess if I bought a couple of covers, locked them to the frame and used the built in locks on the frame holders they'd be fairly secure and presumably insured were the worst to happen! Might be better than trying to squeeze them in the cars. The thought of leaving them outside for days makes me a bit edgy though!

From what I can tell online, it looks unlikely they would let you walk the bikes through the hotel, although I might be wrong!

Absolutely no way I'd be leaving them on the back of the car for a period of time. Insane behaviour. I assume they are half decent bikes given you're taking them to Morzine.

Have a look at Nannybag. You enter the dates you need and it gives you secure locations such as shops etc where you can store them for not a huge amount.

That's interesting, not heard of them before.

Funny I took mine after being at Roubaix this month.

Turned up with it in the bag and was staying in the disneyland hotel which is through the first set of scanners - They did not like the bike at all. Because it was bagged and dismantled after the train they called a guard who marched me to my room with the bike.

They were cool after that but they were saying they have very strict rules about no bikes / skateboards etc in the parks.

Did it about 10 years ago for 2 days and left 2 bikes in the back of the car, dark tints, large black blanket covering (was 2 'good' bikes at the time, but nothing fancy) if I remember rightly we also basically parked it in a hedge end space to make any access as difficult as possible to 1 side and the rear.

If it's in a bag you already made it look less like a bike and flat-enough it wouldn't be too obvious, but yeah.. it's a risk, my logic was by the time anyone had got inside the car they'd already done enough damage for it to be an insurance claim.. not sure that really stands up to scrutiny though.
