    Sorry I was out earlier, too late for you but might be of interest if others are looking. If you download the 2nd edition brochure with HP on the front you'll see the little bus sign in the table that shows it includes the shuttle bus but you get the 3 park for the price of the 2 park one.

    Yes it was depressing!!!! Thomas Cook said as a 'special' rate they would do me $1.53 to the £1 - that's really low isn't it? No idea where to start looking online for some as would like to get at least $1.60/$1.70 to the £1 if I can.

    http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-travel-money make sure you have your plastic organised well in advance, getting the business rate instead of tourist rate on most of your transactions can help your budget go a bit further.;)

    then for currency for little expenses, look here - http://travelmoney.moneysavingexpert.com/

    see, you don't have far to look at all.

    for our hol to Orlando last Christmas we used Crown Currency, ordered a couple of months in advance, ok you need to give them the money up front, but the difference in rate was worth it for us.:D

    Download the brochure - the one with Harry Potter on the front, you will see it on there, Page 45.

    There was an ad (actual ad, not a clip on a show) on the TV last night for HPW at Universal and it said 'Opens Spring 2010' at the bottom. They would not advertise it if it was not going to open, surely?

    I did not try to be honest. £323 would be an amazing price!! Maybe give them a call and say it is not working.
