    Yep all done and dusted just wait for the confirmation direct from the park now, just because you have had a form this time doesnt mean you will get one next time I have one though so you may do:T

    for the past 4 years we have always had a priority booking form, mind you in each of those years we have always used them, this year though wont be using it as we are breaking the bank and taking our 2 daughters to disneyland florida, if only the sun operated the holidays out there, lol, mind you i hope we get one next year, as we will be needing the sun holidays for the next 10 years whilst we are paying for this years holiday.
    Take every day as it comes!!

    Still waiting to hear anything...keep looking to see if the cheque has been cashed! It's my first time so no priority booking for me :(

    Just hope I manage to get into one of the parks I listed. As I ticked the 'would accept any parks in the regions of'. Hope theydont just allocate me any old place but do actually check my list first.

    Decided any holiday was better than none, no matter where it was, as we could just use it as a base for a few days. Not so sure now......!

    if u had a priority booking form, u should have done it online, u may have had to tweak a few things i.e dates/parks etc, but at least once you have booked you know where and when you are going, not waiting forupto 6 weeks to find out.

    Thats great......did you have a priority order form or did you do it by post?
    If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.:whistle:

  • Hi we have been to Butlins at Skegness you the past few years, and have found the basic accomodation is basic but clean, and the facilities meant we really didn't spend any time in it anyway (other than asleep) They will offer you an upgrade to halfboard option which we have done in the past it costs usually about £10 per day and for that you get full breakfast cereals toast etc and in the evening a three course dinner, the restaurant is buffet style so plenty of choice. do spend a day down at Fantasy Island in Ingomells, it has the largest outdoor market in europe entwined with a really big theme park, with rides for both toddlers and thrill seekers with white knuckles - and it is within walking distance of Butlins.

    ps if you do go, get a guide to Lincolnshire from your local Library as they always have offer tokens for the rides at fantasy Island and sometimes bogof for the skegness seal sanctury which is also a nice day out a short bus ride away.

    sorry for the long post enjoy.:beer:

    Does any body know if you have to bring your own bed linen & towels to Butlins Bognor or can we hire them there? I dont fancy loading the car up with quilts there wont be room!

    Hi i recieved my confirmation from Butlins Bogner yesterday, and there is a charge for linen @ £10, on the invoice still to pay, so you will only have to take towels and tea towels.

    when you ring up butlins to pay you can alter the invoice. Like we dont pay for ents pass for our 4 yr old. if you take off the linen and take bags(like we do) it saves a bit of money.
    (more for beer!!!!!!!!):beer: :beer: :beer:
  • i tried that last year and they told me i would still have to buy an ents pass for my boy, he was 2 on the day of arrival. bah! will ask them again this year then! thanks!
