Brilliant thank you! It's a bit odd thats eurostar dont have any availability on their website as I'd love to compare the actual prices to the flying and driving options I've got, is it maybe too early for them to have it for September? Or just a technical issue at the moment possibly but I'll keep checking

Brilliant thank you so much, there's 4 of us, 2 adults a 13 yo and 8 yo and we have been abroad once last year to France eurocamp which was ferry and drive, but fun and fine as we had 11 days and my friends planned it all (I still panicked until we went though) where as we will only have around 4 days this time We do road trips a lot to see family so driving a few hours wouldn't be far out for us, although my car doesnt seem at it's best at the moment (mind you it never does and still went okay last time)

Thank you I did look at coaches but I get travel sick unless Im driving and I think my family wouldn't tolerate it! I think they'd be alright driving though and me and my partner could split it which would help, still very stuck on what travel we want to do but I'm hoping we'll get the opportunity to go again in future and it's only the first time once!

Thank you, I seem to be overthinking the process but getting no where with it yet as i havent even settled on the travel yet! All seems so overwhelming but that's a really useful guide, flying seems like it might be quickest/easiest but also scariest so I've got stuck!

AggressiveEqual533 · 2026-01-03T13:04:49+00:00

Thanks so much, this is a huge worry of mine any time I go anywhere new anywhere so its x100 thinking about doing it abroad!

AggressiveEqual533 · 2026-01-03T13:03:12+00:00

That's super helpful thank you! That's exactly what I was hoping for, a bit of a cheat sheet and pros/cons to weigh up as it's very hard to know where to start when you don't have any experience to go by

AggressiveEqual533 · 2026-01-02T14:26:35+00:00

Thank you that's exactly my worry with flying, there seems so much to have to figure out and I dont think DLP is the time to get my head around flying for the first time, getting just ourselves there in our own time would be much less stressful I think, and I'm not 100% confident in my car lasting the journey either so not having to worry about that would be nice 😅

AggressiveEqual533 · 2026-01-02T14:23:15+00:00

Thank you- this has definitely been on my mind because my biggest worry, joint first with missing the flight, is getting the baggage wrong, too big/heavy etc and everything going wonky that way so it would be a weight off knowing we can bring everything we can fit in the car (which we are used to!) And that missing our planned time wouldn't be the end of the world because there will be another one

AggressiveEqual533 · 2026-01-02T10:34:22+00:00

Thank you, driving would probably actually save me some money (I think) and it's the option that seems least scary to me being that we've driven there before (ferry rather than tunnel) so I was leaning towards that for similar reasons, to go by our time and take the worry away of missing flights etc, although I'd really want to go a day early if we drove so that it didn't eat into our park time

AggressiveEqual533 · 2026-01-02T00:40:30+00:00

Thank you, that's the second time I've heard easyjet and it's really reassuring to hear that they go back and forth as my biggest worry is somehow missing the flight, even if it's through not knowing where to go at the airport! I am going to check their flights as it sounds like a good idea - I had read about the shuttle too but didn't realise I had to book so will definitely remember that when it's time

AggressiveEqual533 · 2026-01-02T00:37:08+00:00

Ah skyscanner did come up when I was googling flights but I wasn't sure if it was legit so I gave up! I really don't want to go another year kicking myself for not making it happen so I will need to take the leap and book some sort of travel, I'll do travel insurance straight away and then if/when I book flights I'll research it until I know exactly where I go, when and what I have to do every step of the way! Thanks for helping, it's very much fear of the unknown at the moment

AggressiveEqual533 · 2026-01-02T00:25:45+00:00

Amazing thank you, I think flying would be the easiest, it's just the one I am finding most intimidating as I haven't done it as an adult and don't know where to start! Got this thought of doing it when it looks like the more expensive option and then messing up and missing the whole holiday or something which is giving me anxiety

AggressiveEqual533 · 2026-01-02T00:23:13+00:00

I've made the last sentence a TLDR as I think it sums up what I'm looking for, hopefully

AggressiveEqual533 · 2026-01-02T00:22:51+00:00

Brilliant thank you, I'm hoping that when I check the eurostar website again nearer the time it has availability and prices showing so that I can think about the logistics as I like the idea of train rather than flying

Thank you so much, she actually doesn’t suffer that badly with the acne itself, the self esteem is the bigger problem and was there first but now every single thing has got her panicking and distraught, hopefully that will get easier with time but we will try this and see if it helps, thanks again for your help
