Hello everyone,
Yesterday, My MIL was diagnosed with cancer.
We were planning a trip to WDW in August (a yearly occurance) but now we may be spending the summer in the UK with my in-laws, depending on my mil's condition and how she recovers from surgery...
So I'm looking at DLP now as an alternative. Everything is very tentative and also complicated by the fact that I'm expecting our second child at the beginning of July...not sure how soon after that we'll be able to fly, it depends how the baby settles and so forth.
My question is, is there a better/alternate place to book packages than through the DLP web site? Are there deals that come available? We'll be staying in the Peak District near Manchester...should we drive, take the Eurostar or fly? And how many days are good to stay at DLP? We usually stay 8 or 9 days at WDW but this looks a LOT more expensive and not as much to do so I'm thinking 4 days or so.
I've looked at some of the FAQ sites and the hotel threads - I think we'll go with the Newport. Swimming is a big deal for us and that pool looks good.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks...
Beth
