I'm looking at dlp I'm May half term!

I have twins who are 2 on the 30th may.

So at the minute I can get hotel Cheyenne for £1500 for 2 rooms for 4 nights with the 2 night free offer!!
But is there likely to be better offers?

It seems steep. I know I went at Xmas time once and paid £750 for 2 rooms at Santa Fe

But I understand that was winter which is cheaper and I had the under 12's free offer which in summer is only under 7's
But it still seems a lot.

Also is it worth it in half term? Will it be packed? I was there on a Saturday last time which was awful. Will it be like that every day??

Thanks

Just a heads up that the weekend starting 29th May is a long national holiday weekend and one fo the busiest times to be at DLP. After this weekend though, it should calm down the first few days of June, but dont forget 6-9th june is whitsun - again very busy. We are planning on going 10-13th june, just after the holidays but just before spanish schools break up. May can be a great time to go, but you definatly need to try and dodge the big public holidays to avoid too much of a manic time.

Thanks.
That's what I was worried about.

I'm in Staffordshire and our Whitsun week off school is 26th - 30th may?

So if there holiday is from the Thursday we could always do the start of the week right??

the 26th and 27th should not be too busy but from 28th it will be very busy - its also a big holiday here in holland from the 28th. I have not been there then myself but know from friends that it can get very very busy. I guess if you make the most of the first few days to do everthing, then the last few days with the help of fp and emh, and just redoing the things you liked best, you wont get too stressed. Everyone is different though We were there just before halloween and we found the crowds horrid, it really did put a damper on our holiday - and we were in castle club in DLH! but friends of ours were there at same time and had a fab time - they were not too bothered about the crowds.
I think i may just be the impatient type lol

Unsure as to your circumstances but as the kids aren't at school why are you looking during school holidays? If it were me I'd go when they are all back to school including the French!

I have older children who are at school.

I'm not allowed to take them out anymore as will get fined through school!!
