December weekend

[jillrobinson]

Thinking that i would like to visit again during the christmas season. School times mean a weekend trip is the only option, but think that a Friday - Sunday trip in november is too short ? so looking at thursday 18th - monday 22nd december. I appreciate it will be busy, but how busy, compared to say Bastille Day

Will be staying onsite, prob at our old favourite - Cheyenne.

Also weather, not too worried about the cold, but from previous years whats the likelihood of snow ?

Any idea when Easyjet release their winter flights?

Anything else I should consider ?

we went Thursday 19th - Sat 22nd last December.

It was busy, but not crazy busy (but then I've never been on Bastille Day!) and I've only ever been in school holidays except one November weekend when we went Friday night to Sunday night so we could see Christmas (that was noticeably quieter and colder - it snowed!!)

Weather was fine, we were very lucky - bright sunshine and cold - but I think it could be anything! We stayed at the Cheyenne, our first time there and for what we wanted it was great, we were also very lucky we were right at the far end closest to the New York so the walk was easy.

Can't help you with easyjet ... we found flybe cheaper and better times but we didn't book way in advance - we're using easyjet for the first time in 3 weeks, their Liverpool schedule isn't great for Paris!!

Thanks for replying I did a christmas weekend in november 2007 and it was horrendously busy, but then we only had 2 days in the park, so maybe tried to fit in too much. We had our first summer trip last year and i was surprised, thought the park would be a lot busier especially on 14th july, so this could be doable

I've never been on Bastille Day but remember thinking how much busier it was in August compared to December (during school holidays).

I'm sure you could get quite a lot done on the Thursday and Friday, as the children are still at school, then maybe take things a little easier Saturday - Monday when the crowds pick up. We certainly found it doable and we had 2 small children with us. Would love to go back at that time of year

Can't remember what the weather was like but we didn't have snow
