Orlando/Disneyworld Thread (Part 3)

Can't think which Mall it would be?? Mall at Milennia sometimes has fashion shows but suspect that's not what you want.

There are loads of dinner shows: http://www.orlandotouristinformationbureau.com/attractions/dinnershow.htm

Capones has got 50% off, then there is Pirates. Arabian nights is one of the more pricier venues tbh.

Thankyou for the suggestions everyone:A Love the look of the Seaworld Luau, expensive though:o I think we will probably have a wander into Downtown Disney and Universal Citywalk.

Are there any firework displays on or evening entertainments on at Universal/IOA/Seaworld?

I am sure this has been answered before but do you still have to fill out the green forms on the flight?

LouiseJ Take into account the parks will be open to very late, so free evenings use by relaxing. Cannot remember if you are Villa or hotel but imhp nothing better than relaxing around the pool with a drink in your villa!!
We have only been to two dinner shows in over 25 visits and Dolly's went bust just after we went!
A nice evening is to park at the Contempory resort,walk through the hotel up onto the monorail ask to sit in the front [you get a little certificate] over to the Grand Floridean walk down to Narcoosie's have a drink and watch 'Wishes' from a different angle, they now have speakers on the restaurant veranda!. Then return to Cotempory resort and see all the people queing to get out of MK. Quite a sight

Outta Control Dinner show is good.

We took our kids last year (14 and 11) and they both loved it, as did the adults.

Doesnt take an entire evening though.

Ooh, also, Disneys Boardwalk, have not been there but have read there is always a lot going on there in the evenings and you can watch the fireworks at Epcot from there too.

Just one thing - I didn't think they were allowing people to sit up front on the monorail any more (since the accident last year)...

I've stayed at the Boardwalk several times before and I love it

There are street entertainers, a great old fashioned sweet shop, restaurants, bars, a dance hall (no good for children) and a duelling piano bar (no good for children), and those bikey things (surrey bikes) that you sit in and pedal around the lake. There are carnival games ($$), and amusement arcade, a couple of shops.

I think the walk around the lake is about 1 mile and it's a lovely walk, past all the Epcot resorts. It's especially magical at night, and I find the atmosphere charming

You can't see much of the fireworks though - just the high up ones. I only mention it so if anyone went there especially they don't expect to be able to see the whole show.

ETA: To get there, follow signs when on Disney property for "Epcot Resort Area", then for the "Boardwalk Inn & Villas". There will be a sentry person; just tell him you are visiting the Boardwalk and he will admit you to the car park. I have often needed to show photo ID here to get into the carpark if not a guest at the hotel.

booked!! i know none of you will care but i am soooo excited, only 425 sleeps to go!

Just a quick question which im sure everyone apart from me knows the answer to.

Were due to pay for our holiday sometime next week. Theres a 2% charge for paying by credit card but not by debit card. Do you get the same kind of protection when paying by debit card because its alot of money so we want to make sure our money is sort of protected.

If the protection is the same why do they charge you a percentage for credit card payments???

95 days to go!!!!! LOL

thanks in advance
