    My cheque was cashed last week and am eagerly awaiting the postie to bring me my holiday. First time i have done this so i am quite excited to know where we are going. hopefully will hear something this morning!

    I thought i read that applications will be processed in the order that they arrive regardless of how many parks and dates chosen. I put down 5 parks and 4 dates.
  • Is there anyone who could give me a priority booking code and a link to where to book online before 12th Feb? thanks!
  • hi there's a waiting list of people wanting codes.roughly about 140 on it.maybe if you join it?

    Our cheque has been cashed last week but still nothing through the post atall
    Hoping to be a thinner me in 2010!
  • I collected the tokens missed two days within the 1st 10 so didnt send off until 2 days later than you could. I put dowwn 5 parks & 5 dates, but still nothing, my cheque hasn't even been cashed :(

    I did also tick any park in area and additional dates, can people tell me if this will mean they will fob me off with somehere less popular?

    I would guess that they would. It's never happened to me so I can't be sure. The way I see it is that it's probably first come first served. Unfortunately this will probably leave you with what's left?

    The first time I sent off through the post we were very specific and didn't put down five parks but only three that we were happy to go to. Luckily none of them were available and they sent us an 'extra priority' priority form. This meant that the next time the tokens came out we didn't even have to save them as our code would allow us to book as soon as the site was live with no codes needed!

    Hopefully you will get a decent park and a good date too (fingers crossed). Even if you don't you should get a priority booking form for next time so that you can do it all online and know straight away whether you've got the park you want.

    Hope it turns out ok. :)

    Hooray, got my confirmation through the post today!

    Only one problem, they're charging us £30 per person for a 7 night stay in France for four of us??? I've been back and read my small print (which I'm always mindful to do with these) and it says nothing about this price. It actually says and I quote, '6. Only complete applications for holidays from £9.50 will be accepted. Incomplete applications will be returned. We cannot always guarantee multiple applications will be similarly processed. For European holidays only you can book a 7 night break at a cost of £19 per person.'

    I've read further on and it says about the supplement charge which is £6 per night which is £42 in total which I was already aware of.

    So, if it's £19 each that's £76. Plus the service charge by the park of £6 per night, that's £42.

    £76 + £42 = £118??? What's going on? When I booked online I paid £121.50 because of a small card charge or something which is about right. Now they're saying I have to pay an additional £57 because the holiday is £30 per person.

    Can anyone shed some light?

    Sorry if that doesn't make much sense, my head's spinning from all the working out so it's beginnig to go numb!

    If you need me to break it down in a different way or explain something else just let me know and I'll do my best.

    Please, someone help!

    Thanks in advance.
