My OH quite likes the thought of taking our 4 and 2 year old to Euro Disney in late September, going to cost £800 half board on Eurostar. Not too bad I suppose if you like the mighty mouse eared one, and taking the car isn't going to save that much when we worked the figures.

For that sort of money I was hoping to take all of us to somewhere warm and sunny, any suggestions where to look? I havn't booked a package holiday since the late Eighties and teletext seems to have evolved into something useless for booking cheap holidays.

My bro is in Sheik El Sharm all inclusive at the moment, I suspect for this sort of money I am talking about Costa del Hell or somewhere like that.

Kephalonia, Northern Corfu & Ithaka will still be comfortably warm in September for a great beach/sailing/wiindsurfing holiday - and these places are generally chav free. And cheap deals should be available - as all the big kids will be back at school

Having been to Disneyland Paris last month, I'd suggest waiting a year or two. The 2yo is too young to get anything out of it. My 2 are 8yo and 4yo, the younger was still too young I reckon. Too young and short to go on any decent rides. My elder boy loved it, I got to do most of the decent rides with him.

TBH they had just a good a time at Chessington this weekend, which cost £48 for the 4 of us biglaugh

If you do go to Disney, make sure you go to both parcs. We just about did everything we wanted to in 13 hours in one day.


As a halfway suggestion between Disney and a package, one of the Centerparcs in Holland has a great indoor ski-dome, as well as all the usual indoor stuff. Self drive is about £300 for a mid-week break IIRC

You can get some pretty good deals on villas in Spain and Portugal in September.
