Hi

There are some good campsites within driving distance of EuroDiney.  We are taking our caravan for a week to Le Croix du Vieux Pont for the first week in July.  As it is slightly before the main season we will be using camping cheques.  The ferry, cheques and supplements for the site has cost £230 - (2 adults and 2 16 year olds).

Ferry was £58 Dover - Dunkirk but others use their Tescos vouchers in exchange for Euro Tunnel tickets to keep costs down.

I've not stayed there before but it has excellent reports from others.  The site also does mobile homes but they are more expensive.

Hope this helps

It's worth looking at the DLP hotels. Obviously it varies greatly depending on when you're going and ages of  your party! But a couple of years we went as a stop over on our summer camping trip and it wasn't much more staying in the hotel than paying for day tickets and campsite. in that I included estimate of food, travel to park etc. That was paying Tesco CC vouchers for Eurotunnel, they didn't do them for park tickets at the time. The thing that made it better value was if you're 2 nights in a hotel you get 3 days worth of tickets included. Also it's B&B so, like everyone else, we made up a picnic with the continental breakfas. Then of course you get the early park entry, ability to get the half board. With early entry they only have one land open, but still you can cover several of the rides, then get the back entrance + run to one of the other big popular rides.

We stayed at the Santa Fe around the middle of August at a weekend. I kept looking at the DLP website and their quotes often seemed to change. One day I looked and it was £100 less than the day before!

It may work out much cheaper camping and getting seperate tickets but it's worth checking out the DLP site, you never know.

I have never known the hotels to be cheaper,and def not in school hols!

maybe get a good deal on an offsite hotel with expedia,travel republic etc but then you wouldn't get EMH

There are 2 lands open during EMH ( extra magic hours) in the morning ( 8am til 10am) Discoveryland and Fantasyland
