We are there Oct half term too. Paid for Eurostar with Tesco deals now looking at cheapest way to buy D Paris tickets! Annual passes are as cheap as buying a 3/4 day ticket - maybe we can book another Sun break for Easter.......
May see you at campsite!

Hiya,

we can only go for Fri - Mon ( my boys have inset on the fri) as hubby has used up the rest of his holidays !

we used tesco deals / airmiles for eurostar one year,fab way to go, really straightforward ( although my youngest was sick on the way back! he hadn't been well whilst @ Disney bless him)

we drive usually though,using deals for the Eurotunnel :T
got 15% off daily tickets last time,so hoping can get same deal this yr
we only need 2 day tickets, for the sat & sun
can't wait as all the new Toy Story rides etc will be there :j

Does anyone know if they still do a park in Swanage in Dorset?

Also if anyone goes to Butlins in Bognor and tries to book online they only let you book for 4 pax online. Then we rang up and they let us add on 6 more pax at the Sun price. We went there last month the kids loved it!!!

we went to bognor butlins last october half term midweek thru the sun, once we had booked, we phoned up butlins and extended it by 3 days to include halloween weekend so making it a week, for the same price as a sun holiday, and then as the mrs was pregnant she did not fancy sleeping on sofa bed so we upgraded for £100, all in all it cost less than £300 for a chalet for a week that should have cost over £700, had a brilliant time as well:T

Not sure about in Swanage but we have stayed at Sandford Park which is outside Poole on the Wareham road not far from Swanage. Lovely site - have stayed there several times. There's a lovely farm (Farmer Palmers) about a mile down the road which is brill for younger ones.

We'd love it if a spare priority code could head this way for me, Marley & the babba, thanks!

ETA - And we can hardly be classed as newbies jumping on the bandwagon :rotfl:

No code for me this time. Wouldn't have been booking anything up anyway as the dates weren't right for us.
Would i be right in thinking that the sun hols released in September will cover dates up to Feb next year, and the January 2011 ones will include spring dates,- ie Easter, and May half term?
I was about to book la croix de vieux pont last night for a week in the Easter hols next year with thompson Alfresco. It was a good price, but then i thought i might have a shot at booking this in January if the Sun holidays cover those dates. Would save £100 approx booking with the sun (or the DM (which i've done before)
As we like to go away as much as poss, i'm always looking for the cheapest way to get away! Less means more holidays iyswim:)
Any information gratefully recieved.
