  • Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of people you can book on one holiday as we have a priority booking form but our friends don't and we want to go together to the same park.
    I spent last year hunting for a battery operated hamster! I wonder what elusive gift this christmas will bring :eek:

    If you want to sleep in the same accom it says you can book up to 8 people ( which I think would be 3 bedrooms and a double bed / sofa in the lounge area ?)
    but Butlins eg only accept bookings of 4

    or you could book for you, and then wait to see if they offer you a "friends & family at same price" offer,which they have done in the past

    which means they would pay the same as you have with the SUN but get their own accom

    Just got an email from the sun which includes this sentence
    "This year we have over 300 holiday parks to choose from, what's more, use your Priority Application Brochure to see our exclusive holidays in Europe and get a head start!"

    Does that mean I should have received a priority code as I havent yet :confused:

    there is another thread started by somebody else on this very subject, apparantly if you get the email you shouldhave recieved your priority code, the person has put the email addy of somebody at the sun to contact and they will resend you a code

    Thanks rachie for your reply about Butlins. I see you recommend the camping site in Paris, if you do this do you get day passes for Eurodisney on site or is there a cheaper way? We've only ever stayed at disney so park entrance was included. I'm not sure if i want a choice though, Butlins or Paris....

    Hi Bex, We went here last june after rachie recommending it and it is excellent. I know the site do a bus trip to disney(can't remember if tkts included) but we drove as we found it expensive also we got disney tkts through a daily mail offer(which they done again this year but its past it closing date now)we got a day return sailing and 4 tkts for disney for £79 and we just didn't turn up for our return sailing. Was a massive saving as the disney tkts were £39 pp or something like that at the gate....we hoping to get this park this june again and keeping our eyes open for a disney tkt deal. We also got butlins booked for march during last sun hols promo so kids really looking forward to that.

    Hi

    we have had annual passes in the past ,but last time we went ( oct half term ) we just bought tickets direct from the Disneyland Paris site,as they were offering 15% discount on hoppers and we only wanted to do a daytrip this time.

    If you are going to go for 3 days or more,it will usually work out cheaper to buy an annual pass :)

    you can sometimes find good deals with 365tickets,keith prowse etc

    Angbrads,so glad you enjoyed the site and hope you get to go again :)

    I am hoping to go again in Oct half term,going to try for Le Chene Gris just because it's closer to Disney,but if we can't get those dates I will be more than happy to go back to La Croix :)

    Sorry to bump but we're also in the same position as bex, looking to book for Butlins but have 3 kids (one is a baby) so would like some advice pretty please :)

    hi, we have 3 kids as well and have found that butlins through the sun only offer for 4 people, but we go every time and book for 4 and then sneak an extra one in they never check as infants don't need passes etc - plus it saves £9.50 on the sun price which you do have to pay for infants HTH

    I've been sent a priority booking form. Plan to book online next Saturday, but what I want to know is if I book online, can I also collect the tokens and send off my paper form and get two holidays? Or will my number be used up when I book online, invalidating my paper copy? If so I'll just save 10 tokens instead of 8 and send off the normal form for the second hol, but would obviously save me 2 days if I can send in the priority one. Thanks :)
