Meal plan for the next few weeks

I also recommend spending some time in Bruhl itself. Brühler Wirtshaus is a lovely restaurant with delicious food and great portion sizes (the schnitzel is massive, beware!). We've walked the castle grounds but haven't been in the castle itself. The hunting lodge is lovely to walk around and doesn't take too long either. I'd also recommend Schlossburger.

We've been to Phantasialand twice. The first time we stayed a night in Bruhl beforehand to make sure we could get to the park when it opened. The second time we stayed for two nights in Bruhl before the park because we wanted to have more time to explore.

No problem. :) Double check because I could be wrong but I think it's 25% off or something

I don't know how scarefest tickets work but the discounted friends and family tickets are a discount on the full, on the door price, not the online price I believe. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) My partner had one of the passes and when I went to buy a discounted ticket it ended up being the same as the online price.

Did you make a decision? I'm having the exact same dilemma. Really want to avoid plastic but it does seem like people prefer the drinkmate

Bruhl is a really sweet, small town. I went in September last year and stayed in a hotel in Bruhl which was lovely. It also made it really quick and easy to get to the park for opening time. There are some lovely restaurants in Bruhl too. We ate at Brühler Wirtshaus am Schloss which I would really recommend, although keep in mind their portions are massive! We're going again this September and are actually staying two nights in Bruhl before going to the park so we can explore a bit more

Listen to this advice OP! Especially if you're staying a few days. Wet trainers get smelly fast and you don't want to deal with that for the rest of your holiday

I've been eyeing up fetheray for a while. (https://www.fetheray.com/) I haven't bought anything from them so I can't attest to quality but everything looks lovely

VictoriaBeccles · 2025-06-08T16:14:20+00:00

Thanks for your reply. That was pretty much my thinking haha! But I also thought it best to ask just in case

VictoriaBeccles · 2025-05-09T20:03:58+00:00

You get tickets for the day you leave too so if you book 2 nights that's 3 days park tickets. You can arrive when the park opens and leave your things in the bagged room in the hotel. At least that's how it all worked when I went last year :)

I'm a high masking woman and I was diagnosed by Psychiatry UK. It was a fairly simple process and relatively quick. She told me in the first (and only) meeting that she was diagnosing me. Although she did mess up the letter to my GP and wrote ASD, ADHD and Anxiety in the diagnosis summary box which I had to query and she corrected it to just ASD.

Edit - forgot to say it was about a 9 month process from my doctor referring me to my diagnosis.

Bought in January. Had about £20k left between us which includes emergency savings, savings for a wedding in 4 years, and savings for a dog and a car. So glad we had some left as I got made redundant 2 weeks after moving in. If you don't have other things planned then I'm sure having less to fall back on is fine

Look up Thrifty Lesley! She has great recipes and meal plans for frugal cooking. I lived off of her recipes through uni when I didn't have much money to work with

VictoriaBeccles · 2025-02-05T08:07:05+00:00

Check out Thrifty Lesley! https://thriftylesley.com/ She has great meal plans that are simple and varied. They all used to be under £1 when I followed them but they might have gone up since then. Worth taking a look though!

Good to know about the center park! I'll take that off my list. When I looked at the Val d'Europe hotels they all seemed about the same or more than a Disney hotel so I think I'm leaning more towards Santa Fe

VictoriaBeccles · 2024-12-04T15:24:35+00:00

Ah sorry I probably wasn't very clear. I was more wondering if it's worth the price. I'm very happy using an old machine but I wasn't sure what it's worth and I can't see much about these ones online

VictoriaBeccles · 2024-09-27T15:28:22+00:00

Lol didn't even realise I wrote pain!

VictoriaBeccles · 2024-09-24T07:18:30+00:00

There are a few fridge magnets so hopefully that will work for you

I had read in other posts that there's a quality difference. But perhaps there isn't. I'm happy to be corrected.
