Hello there,
I have just been on the DLP website and they are having a flash sale at the moment. Would anyone be able to beat the following quote:
Package Price: £244.00
The price includes: Room + tickets + breakfast + local tax, includes special discount (if applicable), Credit card surcharge may apply.
arriving on:
Thursday 26 January 2012
2 night(s) / 3 days
package
This price includes up to 50% off plus kids under 12 stay & play free
package
Sequoia Lodge
Room in the Main Building with 2 double beds
Sequoia Lodge was coming up as very reasonable compared to Davy Crockett/Santa Fe etc - but wouldn't really mind where we stayed.
As yet, I haven't booked any transport, as still deciding whether to self-drive or use Eurostar - so would welcome any info/prices on those options too!
Many thanks"Try to look after the pennies - the pounds will look after themselves" - wise words from an old uncle ...
