From London it is just over £800 so can you not book from there and get a hotel for the night?

Can you not go Feb or May instead of Easter? Easter is one of the busiest times in the parks & Virgin have a sale on at the minute so flights in Feb are less than £400 each!

I suppose it depends how leniant your school is but I know people who fly out a few days before half term for 10 days - this way they only miss a few days of school and are back before the next half term starts.

It's supposed to be the largest Legoland in the world.. we are going in December to check it out!

Could that be because it is more spread out, thus making it the biggest? it did not look like it had more attractions that Windsor. I am going to have another check later.

a question for those that have been to disney this year.

Last year i could add days on to my passes at $6 per day by going to guest relations. Does anyone know if the cost is the same this year or has it gone up?

Hi Everyone

I have been to Orlando a few times before but only for a few days here or thier as my base is Fort Lauderdale. I have done Busch Gardens, Universal, Island of Adventure & Magic Kingdom - but thats its.

We will be thier for Xmas week. Can anyone tell me what its like then? I have read to not really do any Disney Parks on xmas day as they will be overpacked and waits for rides will be loooonnng!!

We plan to do Universal & Busch again, but if I was to pick one more park what should it be? I also read that it may not be that warm in December - what are your experiences of going in December. I have read about Gaylord Palms & Peabody for dinner on xmas day - do you guys know anywhere else.

So many questions...sorry, but any advice you can give me I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

I think it will be worth going to. Legoland Florida has been built on the old 'Cypress Gardens Adventure Park' site. They have retained some of the Cypress Gardens features - like the 'island in the sky', the wooden rollercoaster (which is fab), the botanical gardens (I think) and the waterski stadium/show. Yes, they will have alot of things like in the UK one, but I think it is worth a trip. Cypress Gardens used to be one of my favourite places to go - I know most of the park has gone, but I will visit Legoland next time we go.

As for the opening hours being short, I went to Seaworld the Saturday before last, and it shut at 6pm! - that was August!
