Merlin pass- latest 2nd jan 2011

CarerQuie

For peeps going to Legoland on Basic Merlin passes,from this year in the month of August,you are only allowed to enter the Park after (either 2pm or 4pm-not sure which).

I only have one child this will bother,so am thinking of a premium pass for him and a basic pass for the others. xx

If the 50% is available, then you can renew now, send in your passes to merlin, and the will add on 12 months from the end of your existing pass.

Merlin have now changed their pass prices and have new terms, so bear in mind what the right pass mix is now due to the changes. It could be worth having just 1 premium pass so you get the free parking, and the remainder as basic passes. It does depend on what parks you visit as at the moment, the car parks are different prices ranging from free upto £5 (Alton towers).

if you send your passes in to renew now - to add 12 months onto the current expiry date - how will the parks know which terms to apply - e.g. we have passes until June and these currently have always included our parking - how would they know that the parking should be included ?

The 50% offer starting on Jan 14th - is that for renewals or new members?

I don't have a membership at present so just weighing up if I should go for the £80 offer or wait until the 14th and go for the half price offer.

thanks

It is for any-one.

A disabled person can get a carer in free- the only criteria is that the carer is over 16. They get a pass and the carer does not have to be a specific person as there is no photo ID for them.

hi, I have just been on Chessington World of Adventure's website and the prices of these passes are going up to £156 if you purchases them online and £174 if you purchase on the day. I wonder if they are going to charge £75 or £78 when they come on to offer.
