Sun summer holidays??

jellyjem_2

Hi

Does anyone know if you have to stay for the 7 nights if you book a european holiday with The Sun?

We booked a Sun holiday to Brittany last time they did these promotions, our current booking end on the 22 July and I am considering booking another holiday through The Sun to start at the end of the one we already have (greedy I know).

Problem is we would only be able to stay for a maximum of 10 nights, are you allowed to leave early, do you still have to pay for the whole of the entertainment pass?

I have checked with Brittany Ferries and it will only cost us an extra £10 or so to extend our ferry booking.

Im another hoping for a European park but cant quite decide where...

We are looking at Venice, Lake Garda, Paris for DLP and Holland!

4 parks in 4 completely different locations and style of holiday... Trouble is we have decided to drive so some are closer than others!

I dont get paid till Fri early hours so Im half expecting to get nothing... Im also only available for 3 possible dates as mine and the childrens holidays are set and we are not allowed to miss any! Scary!!!

I really want to go on holiday!!!

We stayed at La Croix du Vieux Pont a few years ago and had the best holiday we have ever had, its a really lovely site and the area is beautiful BUT we only made it to Disney once as it was about an hour and a half each way in the car and worked out pretty expensive when you factored in the toll roads and the price of fuel for the car.

If you do it, the La Croix have a coach service between the site and Disney which actually worked out cheaper (and less stressful). We only found out about the coach on our last day of the holiday :mad: .

Good luck, hope you get somewhere. I'm very excited now, was already looking forward to our holiday but the possibility of turning it into a 10 night holiday instead of only 7 is giving me palpitations

We've already used our priority code for our Easter Sun holiday. Is that why we've not received a letter this time? Do you only (offically) get one priority booking a year?

Kat - I used my priority code earlier in the year too and didn't recieve one this time.

I rang the phone number kindly added by someone else on Pg 1 or 2 of this thread and asked for another code, the guy checked my details and gave me a new code number over the phone.

I could have wrote that myself lol - we did in fact spend 5 nights at Le Croix du Vieux Pont in 2011 just before 5 nights in a Disney hotel! We had to drive to DLP and back on the 1st day at the campsite to activate our annual pass as the following 2 days are blackout days. The drive is longer than it looks on the map but we never particular bumped into much traffic. The worst part was there were no street lights on the way home lol!

We are only planning on doing DLP every other day so approx £90 in petrol. Still cheaper than trying to book DLP hotels around summer holidays! We spent £2500 last July for 6 nights!!! Thats why Im still so skint lol!

It is a lovely park though, we had some freaky hot weather in the June we went and had to actually hide in the lauderette for an hour to cool down! But it had gone way over 30degrees according to a local!

You can do 3 / 4 / 7 night breaks

entertainments passes are free for European breaks

depends what you are looking for,like you say very different locations / holidays. How old are your children and are you wanting sun ?!

Lake Garda is stunning ,I fell in love with the area and will be going back next year. Weather will be better than France / Holland

Have done la Croix 4 times and loved it ,also Le Chene Gris which is much closer to Disney but not so much onsite ( not a problem if using a base for Disney )

what dates can you do ?

Lol. You are listing all the parks i have been to/want to go to next:D

Dunirell is fab. Been there twice, and going back again in may.

Went to le chen gris last october. Really liked it as a base or exploring paris. Will definitely go again.

Going to la croix this october. Sounds great,- lots of good reviews.

Also, really fancying italy for next year. Lake garda looks stunning.

Like you say, they are all very different holidays, but all equally great.

Good luck. Hope you get one of your parks. They are all fab choices:D
