I hope so too. I love the place, just can't justify the cost now. There was always offers on pre-2020 so I can't see what has changed for them to not come back. The post covid demand is now fading I...

Yes, head towards the park and go through the security entrance. The hotel will then be in front of you, but the hotel entrance is on the right hand side. Five minute walk max once through security.

There's a supermarket at Val d'Europe for bigger shops, which is about 5-10 min drive. The onsite one at DCR is still ok if you're only getting a few bits.

When it's universal, it's the same amount for everyone so I don't think people would care too much about this as long as they was eligible. The same argument could be had about the state pension.
