If the kids like the waterparks try Dreamland ... the design is based on a 70s style Spanish waterpark and has some quality rides without the queues.

I get the fine dining book...I guess you get the family 1. If you want any vouchers from the dining 1 let me know, I always have loads left. They have some great restaurants this year. (2013)

Thanks for the offer, Patsy. I normally get the family one, but as a result of the National offer and the one Meow posted a couple of weeks back, I have both the family and fine dining one for this year.

The family one pays back on one family day out. I expect the fine dining one will be a bit harder for me to spend, but as it was 'free' with the national I thought I'd give it a punt.

I have the Jumeirah Sirius card. I had enough points to have 7 nights at the Carlton Towers in London last year.

I bought the fine dining one last year, and only got about half the value back, so this time I picked up the standard one.

Nah, I think I used about three or four. Not quite 220AED saved if I remember right.

I thought I was going to use it more than I ended up doing.

I normally pull out the vouchers for the places we visit regularly first and keep them handy, you can't lug the book all over the place.
