AN urgent holiday warning has been issued to Brits looking to travel to much-loved destination amid fears of travel chaos.

Over 1,000 workers at Disneyland Paris took part in workers strikes on Tuesday - sparking swirling fears that pre-booked visits will be cancelled.

The baying crowd of striking workers flooded the theme park's main street on Tuesday morning, wielding flags and chanting slogans to protest pay and working conditions.

As a result of the industrial action, the French Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) claimed several shows and attractions at the park were experiencing delays or disruptions.

It comes after a performance of Disney Stars on Parade at Disneyland Paris was cancelled at the last minute a few weeks ago.

Workers rejected a preliminary offer of a 125 euro (£108) bonus ahead of pay talks scheduled to take place next month - arguing that the figure doesn't account for soaring inflation.

In response, Sylvain Cayard - a CGT trade unionist at Disneyland Paris - bemoaned that "no one has seen this 9 per cent rise".

And those striking are set to go on walk out again on Saturday - a move that could heap further misery on visitors to the park, many of whom visit from abroad.

Cayard told : "This is money that was already supposed to be given to us, but which is being given to us a little earlier.

"It is money we would have received anyway."

The striking employees work in various sectors of the park, including entertainment, maintenance and security.
