Where most families overspend
Food on-site adds up fast for five people. Booking a half-board package usually saves £200 to £350 over paying as you go. Souvenirs are the silent killer. Set a per-child budget on day one and stick to it.
The hidden savings most people miss
- Free Magic Hours for on-site guests are worth roughly an extra half day at the parks
- 5 day tickets cost only marginally more than 3 day tickets, the per-day price drops sharply
- Travelling Monday to Friday avoids the weekend price hike on both travel and hotels
