OK. Get it . We LIKE to get away from the 'touristy attractions' as an antidote to the parks- so, Anna Maria, Winery, Mt Dora (Segway tour there is fun)- would be the ones!

I am looking for some advice on park tickets for Disney. We are going in April but only for a week and it seems that the best ticket still seems to be 14 day Ultimate ticket however we will only us it 3 times i the week so it seems a bit of a waste.
My head is pickled I have looked at so many websites and deals so any advice would be great!:beer:

Andyg, you can sell them on at the little ticket booths on your way home and get some money back - especially if they are doing the ultimate ticket 14 days for the price of 7.

Thanks for the reply, that sounds like an option. Are these ticket booths all over the place? I was a kid when I was there last and not worrying about things like this!

Some advice please on Disney Ultimate tickets. There are 10 of us going altogether. Do any websites do discounts for bulk buying? Also, my son turns 3 the week before we go. Will we have to buy him a child ticket? Do they check ID for kids at WDW or can we pretend he is still 2?

When we went there were a few places on I drive that we saw buying them but if you are buying a 7 day and the 14 day is free then you would not be losing any money as such.

There was a guy on here (I think?) who recently said he sold his tickets at a booth with 3 days left each on them and got $140 for them.

Might be worth you starting another thread on this board and asking if/where people have sold them as not everyone looks on this thread unless they are actually planning to to Orlando, we have not been for 3 years but if you are getting the extra week free it is worth thinking about.

They do not ask for ID - you'd propbably get away with it but I'd feel too guilty so I'd get one. My son had his birthday while there so I did not want him telling everyone he had turned 3 on the gate.

No, there is not anywhere doing bulk discounts that I am aware of. They do not even give free disabled carers tickets out over there - everywhere does them in the UK and so does DLP. They are very tight on tickets.

If you book through WDW via Quidco you'll get 4% cashback though.

Have you booked already? Virgin give 10% discount of you buy online and you can get 4% Quidco for Virgin Holidays and includes the discount off the tickets so that would be around 14% off if that helps.

Thanks Blue. Mmm never thought about the fact that he would be talking a lot more by then. Probably best to buy him a ticket.

Yes we have already booked our flights and accommodation but will use Quidco.

Haven't heard of any of those but I like the idea of the Sedgeway tour. Going off to google them now:D
