BUTLINS - does anyone know a discount code or anywhere better?

I know Butlins doesn't appear much on Mumsnet, but after last year's holiday at Butlins Skegness, it's now the destination of choice for me, DH, DS (2.10) and my elderly parents! DS loved it and still talks about Noddy. We would love to go to Cornwall, but don't know of anywhere else with such an attraction for a lively toddler - also, we'd struggle to get my parents that far.
So, does anyone know how to get a discount with Butlins? The dates and accommodation we would like aren't discounted at all in the 2004 brochure.
Alternatively, if anyone knows of a better option than butlins, I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Many thanks

We've had holidays at both Butlins & a place called WestStar Holiday parks website we found west star very good value & the kids loved it too!
We stayed at Sandford holiday park & it was good for other days out nearby...monkey world, swanage steam railway, bournemouth beach etc etc
Not quite sure if its any help but we've had 3 fab holidays there & they normally do a discount if you book for 2004 before end of January

Thanks, Dixie. I've had a look at the website and the parks do look good alternatives to Butlins and Haven.
