Tip of the day
On days out, I always take a photo of our children on my mobile phone before we go. I then have a reminder of clothes they are wearing/full description in case they get lost. 4enoughthanks
Quote of the week
Bucharest on the potentially perilous pitfalls of pregnancy: "You get so used to grown men whose first names you don't know shuftying about up your nethers that you have to chant to yourself, like a mantra, in the dentist's waiting room, "Don't take your pants off, it's just teeth this time."
Recipe of the week
Porpoise's red berry pavlova: lashings of strawberries and cream for Wimbledon finals weekend - with the ace addition of a crunchy, chewy meringue base. Serve with panache and await a grateful chorus of, "Ooh, I say!"
) but we did go to ladlanduk and the children loved it. However, we thought it was aright rip off
My friend went to eurodisney (is it still called that?) in december and they had a wonderful time, if you want to be conned by disney instead?
And more here and here. And here
and there's some cheaper deals here no idea if they are any good.
Am glad you asked this quesiton as I was plannign on doign a bit of research myself later in the year.
Form these reports it sounds as if the Lapland experience is just as touristy as the UK one, so far as the parents are concerned, though the kids in the articles seem to have been won over by the real lapland more.
I think staying overnight would be worth the extra cost (especially as you arrive just as the sun is setting).
Lapland is quite expensive anyway (drinks for example are the equivalent of UK cocktail bar prices, say) so I don't think you would save very much money once you add everything together - maybe you should google 'independant lapland' or something to see if anyone else has ever tried to do this.
I have been to the real Lapland twice but not for a children themed holiday so can't comment on what you get for your money. I can comment however that Lapland itself is the real deal when it comes to an authentic white wildernesses and wooden chalets sparkling at night and dog sledges etc, etc. Very atmospheric place.
