Feeding the family on a budget on Alton Towers trip

Thanks ham, you too.

It's the same for us as well ham so we have decided to beak it up. We are going to AT on the way to Blackpool, have got wristbands off Tesco Clubcard and can use the AP at the Blackpool Tower. Staying there for 2 nights so we *should* (permitting on the cost of food) have a cheap enough break.

Went to Chessington last weekend and got the AP cup, we wanted 2 drinks so filled the bottle up and then said 'can I have a small sprite as well' and the bloke got it as he realised we'd drink the orange and come back for sprite anyway, LOL.

funny we have booked a self catering caravan in Blackpool because of the pass. we are taking my mum so just the merlin attractions there and nothing on the way and we will get her a pass for those attractions for £55. she isn't good with crowds so likes to retreat to the caravan for some peace so cheap eating for us all.

i went a few years back and thought it was the best circus ever seen. please report back on how good/limiting the pass was there?
