We leave in 2 weeks, can't wait. Still need to buy park tickets. Just wondering if it's cheaper to buy them from there?

Thanks. Will the sea be warm enough in mid-end October?
Has anybody been to the Bahamas Bay resort, is it any good?
It’s on lake Davenport – how far is it from the parks?
What is it to do on the lake Davenport itself?

Have stayed at Bahamas Bay few years ago. Had great accommodation and pool (shared) great. Currently at Tuscan Ridge a few miles nearer to the I4 and it takes us about 20 mins to the Disney gates

Better deals from likes of American Attractions or Floridatix - cannot buy 14/21 day passes from Disney

The buses from the hotels only go to Downtown Disney or the Resort Hotels. To get to a park you would need to get a bus to a hotel and then another bus/boat/monorail to a park. The journey will take a minimum of an hour probably longer depending on how long you have to wait for a bus and which park you are going to.

There are no direct buses from Downtown Disney or the waterparks to any other park to try and stop people from doing what you have suggested.

The parking is currently $15 a day. Annual passholders and resort guests don't pay parking.

Buses do go to water parks where it is still free to park however signs saying you will need to produce evidence that you are staying at a Disney hotel to use them. Costs $14 to park at the other Disney parks

we stayed at the doubletree by seaworld last year and it was a great base for all the parks, we could walk to seaworld, discovery cove and aquatica which took less than 5 minutes and used the free shuttle to universal and disney.

we would of booked again for next year but there are more of us going so we have booked a condo at vista cay, and we will not be hiring a car

Looking at the tickets, the child tickets are up to 9 year old, my son will be 10 a month before the trip – do the y check the documents?
And also - can we buy one ticket between me and my husband and take my son in turns to the parks?
Thanks

Hi not sure that you can 'share' the tickets, they usually have fingerprint system on them so they can only be used by 1 person. As for the child thing, i again think your treading on dangerous ground. To be fair there isnt a big difference between a child and a n adult ticket - if you get caught imagine the disapoint from your child and for the sake of a few pounds it isnt worth it.

Above all enjoy your holiday!!

Sing up for the "MOUSESAVERS NEWSLETTER" and there is a direct link on there to their preferential rate ticket sales outlet. You have to go via that link and from memory the prices were quite good. I think they are called Attraction Tickets Direct, but the price you get via the link is cheaper than the direct sale price.
