NORTH STAR I’ve been to Disney World 50 times and Britain’s ‘best big town’ is just as much funGAUDY arcades, faded bucket and spade shops and donkey rides on the beach. Recently named as one of the best big towns in the UK, Blackpool may be about to see a resurgence. In fact, as a Disney travel expert, I’ve been to Disney World more than 50 times, but but I’ve had just as much fun on a weekend in Blackpool as I have at the Florida theme park. Haven Morten Mare Holiday Park, just 15-minutes down the road has deals for £112 for a weekend for the whole family. There are sometimes deals to enter Blackpool Pleasure Beach theme park for only £10 too.
