    I tend to agree regarding having the 14 day tickets as I like to pop to say Epcot for the evening fireworks after spending the day elsewhere or indeed a morning in a Disney park then Seaworld for the evening and the 14 days ticket gives you this flexibility at not much extra cost.

    Hi again

    We've finally found a car hire place that will take a debit card and a deposit and not need a credit card so we can book this weekend:j( Advantage Rent A Car)

    Now my next question is has anyone been on the Simpsons ride? Is it good?:rotfl: Is it fast?:eek: Bumpy?:eek: etc OH loves rides but I'm a bit of a girly blouse with some rides but try to try something new each visit

    I love Florida and I'm really looking forward to it now

    Hi Haziec, which ticket supplier is on Quidco and whats the cashback? I've had a gander but can't see anything (it's probably staring me in the face knowing me...)

    The simpsons ride isn't scary in the slightest - it's a 3D simulator rather than a rollercoaster (thought its a rollercoaster in the simulator...) If you've been before it's the old Back To The Future ride that's just been revamped

    I really enjoyed it, you should definately give it a go!

    Glad you managed to sort the car hire out too :)

    I have an annual pass for exactly the same reason. I love being able to just pop to Epcot for an evening concert and Illuminations. You can't beat the flexibility that extra days give you, and the cost doesn't ramp up sharply once you've paid for the initial seven days. I have several friends who work for Disney in Orlando, one in a role that was close to ticketing decisions, and their view was that the initial seven days catches almost everyone from America (on shorter vacation time) and they aren't really too worried if they don't get big upcharges from Brits staying for longer. Anyone who goes to Universal knows that the American/overseas mix is much more "foreign" there. Americans with a few days will go to Disney as their first port of call. Brits/Brazilians/other Europeans/Australians etc with longer holidays are therefore more commonplace at Universal. Offering cheaper long period tickets, and other incentives like Magical Express, are ploys to keep you in Disney, spending money on food and souvenirs for as long as possible and not going to the competition.

    As an aside, I wonder if Epcot will get busier as an evening entertainment venue when Pleasure Island shuts down, or whether that will push more people "off-property".

    Our first evening has to be spent having fish and chips on a bench while watching Illuminations, okay I know a bit British with the fish and chips :o

    and I agree about the concerts at Epcot having been twice during the Flower Power season although my teen did object after the third time of watching Davy Jones on two consecutive nights :D

    As a small aside best view of the fireworks at MK was being up with the driver of the monorail (just ask) from Epcot as they started and then jumping on the ferry to TTC and watching them from the ferry.

    You can buy 3 day Magic Your Way tickets here and 2 & 3 day tickets here. I've used both these companies for tickets in the past and they send real tickets not vouchers and received the tickets within a few days of ordering.
