  • I'm looking at mine now and the words I have are park, hols, isle and time, I must be missing warm, wonder what day that was!

    I've never done it either :o)

    On my token saying warm it says Token 1 so i'm guessing it was the bonus one or Mondays..
  • it's ok, I just found Mondays token, phew!!!

    But.... after reading all this stuff about priority booking forms... is it likely that any postal bookings are going to get dates/locations they want?

    Very unlikely to get half terms I suppose, as all the online bookers will book that first.

    I'm gona try for a weekend in September I think.

    I've edited as I realised i'm being a fuss pot and I'm going to chance it and we'll know for next time if its a good price.
  • wonder what happens if I only put down 2 choices. Will my application be refused?

    Haha sadie I was trying to bid on it too but it shot up at the end over what i'd bid and ran out of time :-) Well done!. Hope you get the dates you're after.

    I notice there is one on BIN for £15 but not worth me buying it as i dont need half term so im thinking i might be able to get where we want closer to the time direct with the company rather than adding more to it for a code..
  • I find it unbelievable that third parties make money out of this.
    Guess I am just really naive

    Ok, I only wanted half term but it wouldn't let me choose one date for all 4 options and wouldn't let me have the same park for each option but you can check availability before you book. So I put my fave parks and half term dates in the top 2 and much later dates and any parks in the next 2 and it searched for my fave option first which was unavailable but found butlins available my second choice - woohoo.
