I am hoping to go again this year as sadly they are closed over the winter so couldn't use after October
it only took us 15 mins at most !0 -
hi I have a priority code this will be fir Ist time trying to book spain I'm wondering is there much chance of getting Spain and also is it possible to extend past seven days thank you
you will have more chance of getting term time rather than school holidays. My sister managed to get a Sept date lst year
you may be able to extend past 7 days direct with the park
or do 2 SUN applications to book 1 week each0 -
Saturday's code was: POOL0

I have been on a couple of these holidays to Haven in the UK and are great value for the money, but I am considering taking the kids abroad for the first time this year. Is Disneyland Paris one of the sites? I am struggling to trace it, but noticed someone comment that they went last year
Thank you in advance for any replies.
we've been to la croix de vieux pont twice which is an hours drive away, it was a lovely site , we drove there using the toll free way, we had to pay one toll which was about 5 euros.proud to be a young stroke survivor0 -
I've been going on Sun Holidays for 7 years now and using the website for 3 years.
For the first time we are going to France but i am worried about the ferry prices. The paper says FROM £100. I am going to book the school holidays from the 27th May and I am worried I will book it and then go to the Ferry Promotions and find out its £400 for the sailing time I want.
Has anyone been during the spring bank break before by ferry that can give me an idea of cost. If i book direct it is £400.
Thanks
Hi
we've been going for some years now and I always look for the best deal.
I think it all depends where you live. As I am equidistant from portsmouth and dover, I looked at all the fares on offer , through 'the sun' and direct. I looked at the driving times when across the channel and petrol costs.
The difference was the portsmouth route was less driving, a longer ferry crossing and longer journey whilst the dover way was short ferry crossing but a much longer drive. I figured I was not going to spend £300 on petrol even we if went up and down twice!!
In the end I went with P&O for their £29 offer last year as it was cheaper than 'the sun' and had more sail times on offer, and the calculated petrol costs were much cheaper than the portsmouth route .
We use a late night/early morning crossing so we miss the traffic and can amble along, we arrive at the park early, find a lounger, rest , swim, do our food shopping and book in when it's time so we have a pretty full day !
That time we went to perros guirec. I never use the toll roads either - we go the pretty way.:)proud to be a young stroke survivor0 -

Thanks for this good advice I had not even considered the England travelling. I will be doing a lot of planning tonight.0
