Orlando/Disneyworld Thread (Part 3)

simonrose618

Hi there,

I'm off to Orlando for 3 weeks in late March and will need to book 2 'Focus' sized cars for the duration.
Does anyone have suggestions of cheap but reliable car hire firms, or other tips to save a dollar or two,
Thanks

Well I have gone and done it and I am really excited!!
I have booked as follows:
Outbound: March 26th 2011 in the morning with Virgin Atlantic
Inbound: April 9th 2011 in the evening with Virgin Atlantic
Accomodation: Metropolitan Express for 14 nights including continental breakfast
Car Hire: Economy car
The price for this was £1469.82.

I think this is a good price, let me know what you think.

Cheers

Tich

We use floridahire . com Good prices with Dollar, Budget and Alamo and excellent customer service. Have used them twice and will be using them for third time next year

Been to Florida quite a few times and always found Carhire3000 very good.

Im now looking into booking for next october ...
We have been lots of times before but this time its 3 of us going so its going to be a pain with rooms..
Is there anywhere I can book which are like apartments with 2 bedrooms? Around I-drive?
Didnt want to go the villa route if possible...

Do attraction tickets (Universal 3 park 14 day etc) go up in price the closer you get to the date? I appreciate it will depend on exchange rate, but not sure when is the best time to buy? The ones we need have been at around £100 for a few months, we need them for February half term week.

Just had a look at the Floridays resort and it looks good. We dont want car hire if possible, does anyone have an idea of transfer time? Who offers best value flights as well please?

Why not look at staying in a "suites" hotel? These are hotels but with a kitchenette in the room.

There are several in the I drive area. A couple of examples are:

Other posters may be able to help with reviews or look at Tripadvisor.

Going on the 21st, anyone know where the best and cheapest places for Tickets are?

We are after two Adult tickets for SeaWorld/Busch Gds/Universal and one or two for Disney, not bothered about hopping between Parks.

I also still need to sort Transfers out so any advice with that would be great.


Thanks.
