Update: As a special exception Disney have decided that we CAN get our tickets early. It was so worth the hours and hours I have spent on the phone the last few days. But it should never have happened so hopefully, they will change their T&C for the future so it happens to no-one else.

Very happy.

Hi Blue_Monkey I am so sorry I missed all of your problems here. Next time please drop me a PM and I will see who i can get you in contact with. It should never be as hard as you have had it and I am certain the right people woudl have sorted this much quicker for you.

However, its done now so nice one, relax and enjoy. You will have an ace time I am sure. We are back over in Oct as well.

Where is the best place to find flights.

Looking to go next August probably last 2 weeks or possibly 3 weeks.

Would like fly drive and will book villa seperately.

Cheapest I have found is 2450 for flight only with thomas cook or 3100 with virgin including car and ins

You will only be able to price up a fly drive so far as the flights for scheduled airlines have yet to be released.

Scheduled flights come out 330 (??) days after the date of your return flight. That should give you some more options.

To save money consider flying indirect (which can be convenient if a local airport offers that and saves you going to London or Manchester etc), midweek.

I'm not sure how many people your prices are for (4??) but yes the fly drives so far are very expensive.

yes 4 people.

So will more flights be released 330 days before which will be about end of Sept?

We due to goto Florida in 6 weeks or so and are staying at a hotel opposite Wet n Wild. We have a hire car for the duration but the cost of parking at the theme parks is around $15 per day so would soon mount up. Looking at the maps I can see that both Seaworld and Aquatica are about an hours walk away so probably abit too far to walk back after a hard days theme parking but Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure looks like its just over the road.

Does anyone know if its possible to walk to these two as on google maps the roads look a little dangerous to try crossing or is there any special bridge or underpass.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

thanks in advance.

from memory you need to walk down kirkman road and i think it is possible as they have footpaths but it is further than it looks on the map so i would definately be driving.
i know what you mean the parking is $14 everywhere except the water parks.
