Er yeah just a bit! You know you have to get a train into the city and then out to the park, right? Probably almost 3 hours journey with walking and waiting time included.
You're not wrong! I've seen prices under £10 for 3 days on Expedia
Not that I would trust a rental company charging such a low price, but even the more reputable companies are pretty cheap.
I'm definitely up for one of the cheaper off-site options, but it's only cheap if we can get 4-5 people who want to stay there. If we do then it's a tenner a night
In December last year I stayed at the Melia Hotel - Sol Costa Daurada. It's pretty much opposite the park and was only about £40 a night. I'd be very happy to stay there again as it did exactly what I needed. A basic room with a shower and a bar with cheap beer!I'm definitely up for one of the cheaper off-site options, but it's only cheap if we can get 4-5 people who want to stay there.

So who else is up for that option? Less than 2 months to go until this Live now so some decisions must be made...

Could be a moot point now anyway - I've just checked the PA hotels and none of them are available on the Friday now, so we'd only be able to get in for the Saturday.
That's showing as over £60 a night for a twin room on the dates we're going. The place we're looking at staying is the Ibersol (link on a previous post) which will work out at about £30pp for the whole 3 night stay if we can get 5 people in each apartment
I think the basic plan as it stands is to do Ferrari Land on the Friday as it's open in the evening, then get a 2 day 2 park ticket for the other two days with the focus being on PA but still with the possibility of going back into FL. That ticket is on offer on the PA website and is cheaper than a 1 day 2 park ticket anyway!
So I've already caved in and bought my flights! Very happy to share accomodation with people to bring down costs. Keep me in the loop and I can transfer money where necessaryCould be a moot point now anyway - I've just checked the PA hotels and none of them are available on the Friday now, so we'd only be able to get in for the Saturday.

I'm going to stick to the train so no car hire for me thanks. But very much looking forward to it!
Where are you flying from? If you're arriving/departing similar times to us (roughly 4pm Fri/11am Mon) there is still space in my hire car but it's up to you of course
Cool, you'll have to hang around a bit before we get there or maybe you can get the train into the city for a bit on Friday. We'll wait for youGatwick. I thought it would make for less faff if I got the train, but your times match up pretty well with mine haha. I get in at around 10am Friday and fly back 230pm Monday. So yes please, hire car sounds like a great idea
) and at present there's me, you and @Howie in it plus @Serena if her flight times work out OK. Can fit one more at a push if necessary or there's still the option to upgrade to a bigger car if there's enough demand.
Awesome! That's a great price!Cool, you'll have to hang around a bit before we get there or maybe you can get the train into the city for a bit on Friday. We'll wait for you
On that note, I've booked my hire car now (£33 for the 4 days
Yeah I'll probably shoot into the City for lunch....
It's not really difficult but it's not quick either. There might be some direct buses (somebody mentioned that earlier in this thread) but otherwise you have to get a train into the city and then another one out to PA. It will take a good 2-3 hours!
