Blimey!

Im glad we didnt book the tickets!! As we were going to !

DaisyDuke I hope that you can get a refund!

some differences of opinion !!! - one person saying great, and everyone else saying load of rubbish.

question is should we go tomorrow and risk the disappointment? or try and claim a refund (although not sure you can beforehand).

I have just spoken to cc company and said about the apparent 'con' - they said you'd have to go and note the details from what the web site claims you get and what you actually get, they can then investigate the claim of mis-selling. i.e not doing what it says on the tin

any comments?

Does anyone else think it's a strange that today there have been 4 posts slagging off new forest lapland, and all 4 have only ever made that 1 post on bnb?

bh1 · Nov 29th, 2008, 17:18 PM

so why post bad press - unless you are the competition?

if you are the organisers you'd be singing its praises to get people to go

think we need to go and see - the only reason I've posted is because i googled a review search and you guys come up

Bh u didn't post a bad review? I have no idea why someone would, maybe something against the people running it, it just seems weird that's all i'm saying. Are u going tomorrow?

bh1 · Nov 29th, 2008, 17:30 PM

yep - going tomorrow 4 and 8 year olds in tow

catch 22 now -

are you going then?

looked up the kent one - its £340 for 4, so it was never going to be in the same league, perhaps people are expecting too much, but queuing for 2 hours and then not seeing the big guy?

done paultons for peppa pig and queued for 50 mins, no obligation to buy photo and you could take your own

DaisyDuke · Nov 29th, 2008, 17:37 PM

Yeah were booked for the 23rd.

bh1 · Nov 29th, 2008, 17:44 PM

so what are you going to do? - or are you hoping in 3 weeks time they've sorted out the issues?

I went to lapland New Forest today with my husband and six year old. The worst value for money £90 I have ever spent. DON.T GO!!! unless you want the following - 2 hour wait for father xmas (we gave up after an hour), the "bustling" market was a few tatty stalls, food was overpriced at £10 for a few greasy cips and a coupel of tasteless hot dogs), the skating rink was nto working (at least this saved us £5 each in skate hire) and the onlyy entertainment besides a couple of basic small children activities was at the fais at additional cost. I can only assume that the person who apparently thought the event was good is a member of the rip off company staging the event. Trading Standards and local paper here i come.
