I think something that has really become apparent over your summer vacations, is that you need to definitely look into trips extensively, especially on the disability side; even down to the fact that you went somewhere in the UK and didn’t think to take waterproof coats. Being physically disabled with a child with special needs, I research everything to the hilt and I have to say, it pays off and it’s rare that I run into problems. This isn’t a criticism rather constructive criticism really. Most places in the uk are disability and special needs aware and the places that aren’t, if you do your homework, you can plan around those places and bring what you need to, in order to have a smooth trip. It has been great to watch Andy’s growth this summer and what’s been great, is that you’ve been transparent in the times where you’ve underestimated him and that’s great to show; because we as parents are very overprotective towards our special kids, as life can be challenging enough without having extra needs. He’s doing great and seems to be maturing at a fast rate.

The map app sounds like a good idea. I get lost a lot, especially if the signage on site doesn't tell you where you are.

I really hope you guys get to go again! I loved the videos (not that I dont normally) and it look like an awesome time!!

Kevin, this is brilliant feedback! I work at a research agency who is helping Center Parcs with their experiences both on the website and at the villages, so your comments will help massively (and I’m hoping this is why they contacted you to do a review!)

Who here hopes Andy has a really successfull life of a KZfaqr and the others

I’ve been going to Center parcs Eleveden since I was born (now 17) we absolutely love Center parcs as a family, the staff always friendly and we always have a good time. If I remember rightly I think they used to have an app but I don’t think it was very popular so they got rid of it, we always hire bikes as it makes getting places so much quicker (wouldn’t take our own bikes as we have seen some get stolen) we often stay in the woodland lodges as where we stayed recently was only a 5 minute bike ride, we have stayed in the exclusive lodges but they are often further away so they’re supposed to be quieter and are lot more expensive. We mostly spend our time in the pool and going down the rapids as we love it and it’s all free (always funny watching newbies being swept away with the current) sorry it’s long but definitely recommend Center parcs to anyone 😊

My favourite holiday you have gone on keep up the good work

U ARE THE BEST i wish i could meet you

Kevin don’t know if it’s improved but when I was there a few years back due to all the trees the mobile signal was rubbish so unless you could get/use WiFi the map/location services didn’t work.

Great review

I am glad Andy have good time Kevin

Great to see you all had a good time at center Parcs, this is one of my favourite place’s to relax ... There is a land train at Longleat, this takes you near to the events and nearly back to the lodge, there is a little walk to the lodges when off the train!!

wouldn't worry about complaining about the party. Reason for going to centreparcs is for peace and quiet. People should respect that they need to keep the noise down as there are more than likely kids staying in other lodges. As for app surely it's good to leave the technology behind and just go out and explore, isn't it good not to know exactly where you are, you never know what you might find or see on the way

Always take coats it rains a lot in the uk. Also research more before you go maybe Andy would like to remember the routes to places.

Love this channel! Kind of relate as I have asd xxx

I work with Center parc now and they help many people with disabilities even at employment people with disabilities so don’t worry it was not because it pay but central parc is amazing for people with disabilities

Great review. We didn’t get bikes either - error!!! 😂❤️⚓️💙

Great video as always 👍🏻❤️

I stayed in center parcs on a college trip and the bikes were needed. I was only 17 or 18 so still fit enough to ride a bike and the roads were so easy to ride on, it was easy getting about without feeling tired. Not sure I'll be able to do it now, probably need a mobility scooter lol.

They should hire out golf carts for poeple to ride as well as the bikes

I got lost in Center Parcs once. I was on my own going to get sweets and treats and I went back down the main road instead of the footpath, so yeah! And also I’m only 12 so I was extremely worried!

Question- Did Center Paris pay for everything including meals, bike hire, activities, spa etc? How much would the whole trip have cost and do you think it’s worth it? My guess is it would probably cost just as much as your Disney trip and is way out of the price range of the average Joe. What’s your thoughts?

i noticed how chill the staff seemed about his autism in the vlogs tbh. the lady that helped yall with archery seemed completely unphased by it, like she didnt even notice. she was just patient and treated him like she would any other kid. i think they probably do give some sort of disability training or something, i dont feel like theyd have invited yall if they werent sure their employees were equipped to deal with andy and his quirks, and i also think itd be kinda insane, and likely ineffective, to alert every single employee about "the family with the camera and the autistic kid" lol

Hey Kev, they did have an app however it was discontinued.. Heres what I found on their site: "Center Parcs App - 17th September 2018 Following feedback from our guests we have made the decision to close down our app. We recognise our app is not currently providing the quality service our guests expect and this will be withdrawn immediately. Flexibility and digital connectivity is important to us all and we fully intend to develop a new app in the future. In the meantime our website is responsive and can be viewed on all mobile devices. Accommodation, activities and restaurants can all be booked via this channel. We would like to thank guests for feedback and apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment caused."

One year our bike seats got nicked and we were in the same lodge as you and the ride back was brutal

We went to the same centre parcs a few years ago and had a big group next door that played loud music and smoked weed every night we were there it absolutely stank.. unfortunately it has put me off completely

They used to have an app but they got rid of it after feedback from guests

I went to centre park for the day and met up with my auntie and cousins. Jeez that was a long walk to their lodge😂😂😂. I went from wearing a coat and hoodie to just s t shirt I was so hot by time we got there

You might want to suggest maybe a golf cart.

Can you just use a paper map?

andy wood off like the bowling their

Why didn't you take Dave with you,are dogs not allowed anymore

How did the last day go with Andy staying to late

Hi kev and anna will you be going back to centre parks maybe staying for a week to try more activities???

Is there no land train?? Longest have a land train which takes you all arround the park

Yo

Have you/did you work out how much it would've cost you for the same package if you had paid? Comparison vs Disney Paris, is it value for money? Thanks

How come you didn’t take Dave too it’s dog friendly as well. I think I would love to go there now when I get my assistant dog and enjoy a holiday where it will be accessible for me and my dog and family. 😁

1st

Don't blame you for calling guest services on noisy neighbours. It's guest services job anyway and you go there expecting not to be kept awake by loud parties💕
