Looking at booking a theme park trip for my family and I (2 adults 2 kids) in the week between Christmas and new year. Narrowed it down to two that seem to be fairly reasonably and similarly priced for hotel(wanting to stay on site) and flights. PortAventura 3 nights, or Efteling 2 nights. Have been to PA before but not Efteling.
My question is, which is better at Christmas? Or in general? Are the parks usually really busy during christmas period? (I don’t mind, just want to know what to expect). I have a strong suspicion that despite being colder, Efteling would be really charming at Christmas, and although I’d like to visit both parks I am leaning more towards Efteling, would 2 nights, with maybe 1.75 days in the park with a late flight home be enough? My other half is leaning towards PA. Ideally we’d go to Europa park, but it’s just out of our budget for this trip and prices for DLP are atrocious these days.
