    Oh and another question for those who've done priority bookings before...

    When you go on the website and book online using the code words, do you make a payment then through the website? Instead of sending a cheque in with your vouchers? Or do you still have to send in paper tokens even if you've booked online and send a cheque then?

    Thanks for any help, this is my first time priority booking so I don't have a clue! :rotfl:

    Hi
    when you book online you make a payment online with your card and you do not need to send any tokens.however you do need the codes that are printed on the tokens to access the site(some kind people post the codes on here so there is no need to buy the paper just for codes). If you want to book another holiday then you need to apply by post and I am not sure whether you can use your priority form to do that. but be aware if you are trying to book for 2 parties to go to the same park at the same time you may not get it. Some of the parks are more popular than others. Good luck. And btw don't be leaving it til sat morning to book online, it usually opens on the fri afternoon and its first come first served.

    thanks for all the info guys, its been helpful. Can I just ask, ive very kindly been given a priority code form someone else, obviously its in her name. Will i still be able to use this code in my name when the online booking thing opens up? Ive already collected 2 paper tokens but will stop if i really dont have to. Im worried ill stop collecting the tokens then it wont work and I wont be able to send off my papers tokens. i suppose I could keep buying the paper just incase but id rather not. tia

    Thanks angbrads :)

    There are just two of us we're just wanting two seperate holidays. I've emailed the sun to ask whether I can use the priority form by post after using my number to book online, will see what they say and I'll let you know. If it's a nono then I'll just collect 10 paper tokens and send them off on a normal form :)

    Yes, you can. When you book it will be your friend's name and address details that will come up, but you just change them to your details. It works fine, I've done it.

    For those that have booked before please could you advise on the following.

    I am wanting to go with my inlaws so in total there would be:-
    My partner and I and our 2 girls, Bil and Sil and nephew and grandma and papa and we would all require our own accomadation.

    Is it ok to put 3 application forms and cheques in one envelope? As we wouldn't want to go it we couldn't go as a group.Would we need to put a covering letter in specifing seperate accomodation.

    Hope this makes sense.

    worth a try
