Orlando/Disneyworld Thread (Part 3)

nuttyp

Weve previously stayed at the fairfield inn at lake buena vista, it had free breakfast daily and the shuttle bus to the park was free!! Were going to stay at the staybridge suites at LBV next, again free shuttles to disney and also breakfast is included - 3 nights there is a complimmentary drink n nacho's, bbq etc.

Lots of accomodation has complimentary transport but the ties are limiting - we often get a taxi home so we can stay alittle longer.

Happy planning

It's been ages since I posted on this thread but thought it would be time to get the ball rolling again. Booked in Feb this year for Easter 2012 and the is ticking away FAST. It's only another 8 1/2 months until we go to Florida again.

We bit the bullet and booked a Virgin Fly Drive for Easter Sunday, paid £2900 for return flights and upgraded our car hire (only having it for the week) to plat insurance and got a convertible - had a look at the price of flights only and they are around £750 each with Virgin so the risk paid off as it would have cost us more otherwise, the flights were pretty much sold out for all the other dates at Easter.

Apologies if you already know! Another load of tickets to get! No doubt bigger and better than here!

If you plan on visiting Legoland, make sure you check the opening times first!

Looks smaller to me and a lot of the rides are the same as here. Have you seen the map online?? There are 4 big coasters (inc. dragon coaster which is the same as here).

hi, I just had a look online, does look mostly the same as here, maybe a couple of extras - I might not bother tbh.

My son is obsessed with Lego so we'll probably go but not do the bits that are here. I think a lot of the rides are for more aimed at little ones and I've avoided going (to the UK one) this year so far. I think I'll see if I can get some vouchers of eBay.com - there are bound to be some on there, we have 8 months to play with yet.

I've signed up to their facepook page so I can see if any offers come up.

Anyone going in early 2012 that can pick me up some leaflets and papers with money off vouchers in, please? I'll send you a prepaid packet so they can be sent onto me at no expense to yourself. Thank you. Trying to be (more) prepared (than usual) .

Might save you a few ££ but I'd go for the paper vouchers rather than the codes incase they can only be used in the US. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=florida+legoland&_sacat=0&_dmpt=US_Tickets_all_in_one&_odkw=orlando+tickets&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

Sorry I meant I had a look online at the park and compared it to the UK park, and might give it a miss ;-)
