Back to the drawing board ......

So after getting all excited about being able to use my mums discount they have now put a blackout on family and friends unless the agent is going as well

Was gutted as its been a really long year for us ( both sister- in law and dad both had tumours within 2 months if each other , my sister in laws was a brain tumour and benign but dads was a whopping 7.5 lb and he ended up losing his kidney as well )
Along with hubbie being made redundant from his new job plus our landlord selling our house so we had to move in with our parents a trip back "home" as we call it has been the only thing that has kept us going

We have worked and scrimped and budgeted and worked out we could do a coach trip down with Gold crest but there are 2 options

1 is a 3 night trip staying at Newport bay for may half term or easter so I get EMH etc and 2 full days in the park

2 is a 4 night stay at Radisson Blu with still only 2 days in park and a sightseeing tour round paris

I haven't stayed at either so am trying to weigh up which will be best for us - the kids are going to be 13 ands 17 Yikes how did that happen so long days and queuing for characters etc isn't a priority
There isn't much difference in price either I just am not sure what would be best for us

Any advice or thoughts much appreciated

What a tough time you guys have had. I hope everyone is on the mend and that you are over the worst of it all.

I would be inclined to do the 4 days as it would give you a chance to relax more and have a wee escape.

Sorry to hear you have had such a rough time. I would do the four night stay have stayed at the raddison twice its a lovely hotel very peaceful and laid back no big rush for breakfast.Both times we have stayed there had no complaints and would definately go back

Sorry to hear your news! I too vote for 4 days and with older more sophisticated. ;-) children the offsite hotel with trip to Paris could really work well. Best of luck with your planning x
