    I can't answer all your questions, but I know they still do the refillable bottles, but I don't know how much for. Hope someone else can answer the rest of your questions and that you have a lovely day :)

    At Alton Towers pizza/pasta place adults are £8.25 and children £4.25 (may be wrong on the pence but the £'s are right :D ). My lot like it ;)
  • I went to Chessington around last week, I think the drinks bottles were £6. Just worth mentioning though, please don't get them if you don't like wasps. They were everywhere, it was really bad! Especially if you're in a ride queue with the bottle they just get attracted to the drink, I didn't see anyone carrying one that didn't have a problem! It was bad enough without one but the people carrying them round just looked like they were fighting a constant battle, especially if you've got kiddies with you it might not be a great idea!
    No idea about pizza pasta, sorry!

    I just go to Burger King since I felt the prices are not too inflated. Go for a slightly earlier lunch (11.45am even) if you could. It makes all the difference. Don't go to the Greedy Goblin Inn - the food is horrendously bad! However, kids eat free at the Greedy Goblin after 3pm
  • Again we were there a week ago- and the bottles were £6. The wasps were going nuts when it had fanta in- but I came up with a solution. Make a paper "plug"- I used a bit of the park map- and stick it in the end of the straw. It stopped up being pestered instantly- up to that point we'd had 2/3 of the little gits trying to crawl into the straw at once.

  • We also went last week and the wasps were awful, we didnt even have any fizzy drinks, infact the only drinks we had were in my bag zipped up.

    £6 for the refillable drinks, and kids eat free in most places after 3pm, including the pasta/pizza place. It is worth it, espically if you can hold on until 3pm, but even then, it is still worth it, the food is nice.

    I noticed BK do a deal of a burger a small fries for £1 after 3pm as well.
  • Thanks for that everyone, i think i will give the drinks bottles a miss this time then, i try very hard to stay calm when wasps come near me but i cant help but freak out :o much to the amusement to my boys and hubby!
