You can sell them on before leaving even if get £20 it's better than nothing.
There is a ticket booth down I-drive that will have them off you it is the bright yellow place by the wooden go kart track.

i took $500 cash to tide over for few days then used debit card for purchases in shops and cash machines.
cash machines were everywhere when i went last march.

Hi all it seems like the questions on here about park tickets never end so I have one more but I have done my homework and checked through loads of sites. The site I have decided to go with is:

www.floridaescapes.co.uk/tickets

the ticket deal is their Multiticket+ and this costs £391 and gives us entrance to all the major parks in Disney and Universal for 14 days anytime and as many times as we like.

Are these a reputable dealer does anyone know and does the price sound ok?

I have not lloked at these tickets, but I bought my Disney tickets from them last month, as their prices were good, and the tickets arrived after about three weeks as I expected.

Hello guys!

I need converting to wanting to go to Florida ASAP!!

My MIL has a villa in Florida but to be perfectly honest it has never struck me as somewhere that interests me, I have spent the last 5 years avoiding going LOL!

Well we have now booked a trip in April which will end in Florida for approx 6 days and I need to work up some enthusiasm

We will be travelling down by car (we fly into New York ) and we obviously have somewhere to stay, which is in Kissimee.

I have said that I don't want to do more than 2 parks over the 6 days (after over a week of roadtrip we will need some relaxation and pool time) and we have a 2 year old and an 11 year old with us.

Any tips? Particularly about the cheapest way to do 2 parks (and which are likely to be best for us). But most of all I just need to get a little excited!!!

Hubby has been over there twice in the last 5 years (without me LOL!) and DSS who is 11 has been about 5 times either with his dad or his mum. At the moment they are both excited about this bit of the holiday and I just see it as the bit on the end that means I can do all the other exciting stuff

Hello. I will be a 1st time traveller to Orlando etc.

Original plan was to take the family during easter holidays but we've now decided to do the following:

Outward date - from 15th July onwards for a 3 week stay.
Plan - spend 10 days in Orlando to see disneyworld, spend the next 10 days doing a beach holiday (maybe Daytona beach?)
Spec - 2 adults, 3 kids (twins aged 7, another aged 3).
Would like to stay in a suite/apartment etc
Budget - looking at £5k -£7k

Questions
1) Any recommendations for a beach location etc suitable for kids
2) best way of booking this e.g. flights to & from same location e.g. MCO? etc

Thanks for the help.
