November in DLRP....

[scottishgirl87]

Sorry guys, back with a couple of questions! BF has literally just said we can maybe go back to DLRP for a couple of days for my birthday in November! I can get flights pretty cheap - £50 each! Which is almost half what we paid in May! Couple of questions though....

1. When do the Christmas decorations go up? (My birthday's the 9th November so hoping to be there a couple of days around this)

2. Is there usually any discounts around November time? I see there's a 4 night/3 day package for the price of 3 nights/2 days on at the moment but is there likely anything else to pop up after the 30% promotion starts.

3. The weather that time of year is pretty similar to ours, yeah?

I'm already crunching numbers!!

christmas season starts on november 8th. although not all shows will be on then some dont start daily untill december but you will see most of it and it will all be decorated.

try to avoid the weekend if possible - we went last yr on 14-16 Nov for DDs birthday and it was so so busy - there was a private party on on the Sat night so it was busy because of this and some parts of the park were closed

Eeek!

Looking at going from the 8th-11th possibly. However, to get the 3 nights/4 days for the price of 2 nights/3 days it needs to be from the 9th to 12th but typically there's no flights on the 12th!!

I'd say, going on our November 07 trip, its a wee bit colder in Paris (especially when the sun goes down) than here in the UK. We didn't need our big coats all the time in daytime, but we did need them, plus hats, scarves and gloves, after around 5pm, when the sun set (and I'm from the North East of Scotland, so used to the cold :goodvibes).

But of all the times I've been, mid-November, midweek, Christmas season, was my absolute favourite - I cried because it was sooooooooo beautiful :love::love:

Avoid the weekend, the busiest I've ver seen it at DLP was a Christmas season weekend although that was later in the month than you're thinking of. :)

Thanks for the advice guys :thumbsup2

My BF is already telling me to calm down as it's only a "suggestion" right now :confused3 What does he know! Going to hold off right now anyway as I'm hoping some new deals will be released once the Summer offers end! I just really hope the flight prices stay the same as it's a complete bargain!

Who are you flying with?

[scottishgirl87]

Easyjet from Glasgow! It's working out at £97.88 for the both of us, or £113.88 if we add on 1 hold bag.

We paid around £180 in May for flights for the both of us.

I'm already thinking about where to go for my birthday dinner, lol.

Hi!! we went in november! was lovely, parks were very quiet in the week, then awful hideous on the weekend! it was lovely though, all christmassy and sooo cold, much much colder then cornwall... that time of year, plus it snowed!!! take a look at my trip report below to get idea of crowdes/weather etc

I went last November 7-9th and the weather was actually nice thought it did get cold in the evening rather quickly. I went at the weekend and it wasnt that busy suprisingly.

Going again this year 8-11th :)
