onsite in April?

[missiemouse]

Just wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea if what I am likely to pay on site (Cheyenne or Santa fe) with a decent offer in Easter hols? I had thought of getting francillien APs and booking one adult and free children to make it cheaper, but there are some good rates for partner hotels and now I'm thinking maybe we shd all get APs and stay off site again. We've never stayed on site so it would be fun to do but I don't want to have to pay too much! We want to go for 3 nights so the current offer is no good for us. So my dilemma is should I wait for a better one or book off site now while the price is good? Any advice gratefully received! x

I take it you mean after 2nd April (as you can use the winter offer for w/c 30th March).

This year, I booked in January on the French site for the Santa Fe for 3 nights, one adult and one free child, it was £417. The French site also had kids under 12 free for April dates, this offer came out in February this year.

Thank you, yes we're going 2nd week of Easter hols. The current offer with extra nights free does apply to our dates but having never booked onsite before I don't know what a good price would be. Currently for 3 days for 1 adult and 1 child under 7 it's showing as £535 which is more than I wanted to pay given we need to buy 2 APs as well. But just had a look on the Irish site and although it is the same offer it's 530eur which is about £420 I think which is much more reasonable.

Am I right in thinking I can upgrade if a better offer comes along later?

if you book on the Irish site (or any country site) you can then only upgrade if a better offer comes out on the same country site.

Well the price has gone up while I dithered

Do you think there's a good chance of getting a similar price again? French site won't let me book for our dates yet so perhaps it's worth waiting for them to release next year's dates? £420 including chdn under 12 would be amazing as I would only need to get one AP, so £500ish in total which is about my budget for this trip.

yes, based on this year, I'd say theres a good chance of a good offer nearer the time.

I am confused-if you book onsite park tickets are included for your stay so no need to get an AP unless you're returning and staying offsite.

We've just booked 4 nights in hotel Cheyenne for 2 adults and 2dd's over Easter weekend !! Can't wait!!

depending on the difference in price between one adult and 2 on the package, it can be cheaper to get one AP for the 2nd adult rather than having them on the package, and of course you get discounts on food and souvenirs at DLP for your whole party with one AP.
