£900 for 2 nights at RPR over Easter? Really?!

[Tinkjon]

Never been at that time of year before but is that price normal?! I'm not talking Easter weekend itself but in the UK's Easter school holidays.

Yep, pretty much! - I posted about it a few weeks ago when I discovered it. If you shop at tesco you can reduce the price with vouchers for hotels.com.

I’ve been looking at prices for RPR for 2 nights next August. Went there in 2016 for a night to take advantage of the fast passes and fell in love with the hotel. Back then I paid £220 for the night. But looking now I see it’s around £700 for the two nights. I understand the price has gone up so much because of the weak pound.

Yes, we always use our Tesco vouchers for RPR but it's still a crazy price. SESH, see if you can go later in your trip (August is cheaper from around the 12th/13th) and, if not booking with Tesco vouchers, try Attraction RTickets Direct - they were significantly cheaper for us and there is a £50 off code for Dibbers.

Will deffo take a look. But we have our hands tied around dates now as the villa we’re staying at for the majority of our stay is booked and deposit paid. Has to be right in the school holidays cos our eldest will be going into year 11 and the missus doesn’t want him missing a minute. 😩

We pay for RPR halfway through our holiday, even though we stay in a villa - we just suck up double-cost for the villa and RPR for those nights. Might be cheaper doing it that way if your holiday spills over into the later part of August, rather than adding it on at the start, before you get to your villa (not sure if that makes sense?!)

I do know what you mean. We doubled up last time. But we’re going the latter part of July and was intending to tag the two extra nights at RPR at the end, 5-7 Aug. And to be honest with the prices for RPR being what they are now I can’t really justify doubling up as well. That said we’re also planning on stopping a night at Clearwater and so won’t be able to avoid double costing on that.

This is hopefully a link to the thread from May when a range of prices were found.

In 2016 we paid £142 for one night (it was a good deal though), it's one heck of a price rise - and the weak pound doesn't make that much difference!

I was simply offering an explanation as to why the prices had gone up so much based on conversations I’ve had with friends on the subject. So what’s your explanation as to why prices have increased so much over such a relatively short time?

The weak pound has added 20% to the cost since 2016. So in this example the two day stay would be £750 not £900
