Auberge Mathematics?

[joolz1910]

OK Disers, I need to make a decision, and as I'm indecisive about most things, I need your help.

I have looked in the DLRP brochure and it states that the prices for Auberge are: £39 per adult and £14 per child. This would mean a total of £53 for me and DD. It says that the prices are valid from 07/11/08 until 02/04/09. If I use my half-board plus vouchers, I can deduct £26 from this, leaving me with a total of £27 to pay.

Is this right? If it is, then I can afford it!

I'm sure I read that Auberge had put its prices up to £60 per adult and £22 per child. Please tell me that I've got that wrong. This is what is worrying me, as that is beyond my budget.

That price will only apply if you pay before you leave, and pay in pounds.

SO you wouldn't be able to use a HB voucher towards it.

I ate there 6 days ago. It was definitely 61 Euros for me and 22 Euros for my daughter. I am not likely to forget that!

 

[joolz1910]

So that price is only applicable if you pre-book and pre-pay? I'm starting to wonder if I should upgrade to Premium.

Does anyone know the current prices for Auberge?

 

[MinnieMouse73]

Yes, definitely 61 Euros per adult and 22 per child

Thank heavens for the AP discount

Thanks Hildasmuriel. I think that is a lot of money! Does one premium voucher cover your meal? If one voucher is worth £31 per adult, that is a saving of roughly £30! Or is my maths wrong?

and for HB Prem.

1 HB prem voucher per person will cover the meal.

Thats why i upgraded to HB prem!

Inentions is 55E each without drinks and a prem voucher covers it and a drink!

great value!

I'm tempted. If I upgraded, I would eat at Inventions, The Steakhouse or Walts and Auberge. DH is adamant he doesn't want to eat at Auberge, so I thought that I could just pay the difference at the Steakhouse and we could use his voucher and my DD's voucher towards the cost.

It also used to be the case that two HB plus vouchers could be exchanged at Auberge to get it "free" - not sure if you'd want to go that route or not, but it's worth keeping in mind.

I remember reading that. It seems such a waste though as I know neither of us will eat very much. I just can't justify £83 for a meal for two of us. The premium vouchers make the price more palatable (excuse the pun) bit it's still a lot even then.

Smart plan - will be worth 55E off the meal, a steal when you;ve only paid £35 for the voucher or whatever!

Sounds like we're having very similar dilemas about upgrading

It certainly does! My DH has pointed out that fine dining and our kids doesn't really go hand in hand. I like the saving of say Inventions £31 voucher = 55e meal, but then I can imagine the following scenarios:

1 Kids fall asleep as we enter dining room
2 Kids bored and want to go
3 Kids don't eat anything

all of this has happened to us when eating out with the little treasures.

Sounds like Kyra all over

Yeah we have similar things happen to us That's why I thought if we bought the premium vouchers, but ate at not so premium places, the money would still go far and we could still eat well That's the theory anyway and if I can stretch the HB premium vouchers so we get 2 meals a few of the days it'll be great, but how easy is that going to be to put into practice?

Sounds like a good idea but could get quite complicated. You would need to calculate the price of each meal and whether it would be best to sacrifice a voucher or pay the difference. My maths is so poor, I would go into meltdown.

I usually love figuring stuff like that out (I'm such a geek ). I like to think I always get the best deal for everything, but I have to admit, this is really pickling my head and I'm not enjoying it so much

I am usually the best bargain hunter but this just gets me stressed. I keep thinking that £250 for 3 days eating (premium) is a hell of a lot to spend. My DH has his feet on the ground and points out that the kids may well be distracted by being surrounded by Disney and not want to spend hours appreciating the food. He wants to fill up at breakfast and then eat at Annette's for dinner.
