Orlando/Disneyworld Thread (Part 3)

There is a new ticket call 'The One' that combines the Flex ticket and Disney's Ultimate Ticket. I saw it advertised in the sun a few weeks back - anyone got a link? It is £399 for adults and £355 for kids but I cannot get into the Attraction World website as I am not an EA.

Attraction World says its new option, which combines the Disney Ultimate and Orlando Flex Ticket Plus, offers a potential saving of more than £100 against buying the passes separately.

I think that was available last year but when you actually broke it down, you were cheaper buying the tickets seperately yourself.

Yeah, we are going for 21 days so no good for us, plus we got a discount with Virgin so it would be more expensive for us too.

Hi all, Can you tell me whether you obtain fast passes to rides next to the ride or does your entry ticket entitle you to get in a fast pass queue - I wasn't sure whether there was an upgraded ticket you could buy?

Thanks

It depends which parks you are visiting. Disney parks have some rides for which you can obtain a fastpass ticket by inserting your park entry ticket into the machine next to the ride. I think they may also have a ticket which you can buy so you don't have to do this at every ride but I could be wrong.
Universal charge you for their version of the fastpass ticket although if you stay in one of their hotels, you get it free for the days you stay there, providing you already have the park entry tickets.

I'm so delighted you had a lovely time! Be warned, it gets into your system and it's hard to get it out

Absolutely, All of Disney's most popular rides have Fastpass machines next to the ride.

You can't buy fastpasses at Disney.

I highly recommend the Universal hotel option - if you stay at one of their hotels for one night you get FOTL (Front of the Line) access for two days with that, which can be cheaper than buying the Express Pass for a family for two days. Also in theory with Express Pass you can only ride each ride once, whereas if you have the Universal Hotel FOTL you can go on as many times as you want (in theory they could enforce one ride only but they never do).

Hi all, I hope someone can offer some friendly advice

I will be travelling to Florida in June this year, staying on International Drive opposite the Wonder Works place. Single parent with two kids 11 & 9.

I have read the whole with or without car debate and I fall into the 'without' camp due to my holiday package. Also read small snippets about the I trolley and Lynx? buses, I will be visiting both Disney and Universal parks and was hoping someone could help with getting there either on the previously mentioned means or if financially feasible a taxi?

I don't want to start the whole with/without debate again just a nervous traveller hoping to have a hassle free holiday with the kids!

Many thanks to you good people for any tips or advice in advance.
