Flying in to Orlando (MCO) in just over a week and was wondering if anyone knows of a cash machine in the arrivals side of terminal?

Hi Johnny

As you get off the train you have Hudson News on the left and the fountain sort of straight on / to the right. Look right and you will see a couple of retail units (think one might be Starbucks and one might be book store, not sure) and either between those or to the side of one of them is an ATM.

That has come around quick. Are you looking forward to it?

If you see any of those voucher books and the vouchers expire at the end of April, could you grab me some please Johnny, I'll send you a prepaid envelope to send them onto me. Thank you.

Showed my little boy (7) some youtube vids of some of the rides last night - I am way more excited than he is!!!! 6 weeks 6 days and counting!

Thanks Karen I knew one of the Orlando regulars would have the info.

I know where you mean as we went to Starbucks on arrival last year so shouldn't have any trouble finding.

I know where has this year gone???
Yes looking forward to it but not as much as 3 year old daughter.

Is it the voucher books you see in hotels and shops etc that you are after?

hello everyone!

I'm looking for your wisdom and advice.

I'm looking to book a holiday to Orlando next June. I'm looking for a package deal that will give me apartment style accommodation plus flights - preferably from the North East.

I'm looking for a one bedroomed apartment for 2 adults and a two bedroomed apartment for 2 adults and 2 children (4yrs and 6yrs). Ideally the apartment would be in the International Drive area.

Most of the package holidays that I can find are hotel based.

Any ideas where I can look for what I need?

Thanks in advance

we are going in a few weeks and staying at floridays resort on i drive, booked through thomsons. they do 2 + 3 bed appartments, and have great reviews on trip advisor in fact they are number 1. they have everything you need in appartment in waher and dryer.

We booked for Florida for July2013, villa is booked for 3 weeks cant wait so saving hard. Hope fully there will be 10 of us going but upto now there 5 of us. Just need to sort flights & car hire out.
As I booked well in advance the owners of the villa gave us a discount and a futher discount because we booked for 3 weeks. bit of a saving there

If you go to an independent travel agent then they will be able to help you with flights and car hire. One who specialises in Florida would be best.

Flights aren't released until 335 days with most of the airlines - except BA.

But - travel agents are able to pick up outbound seats when they are released instead of having to wait until the inbound seats are released. If you wait and do it your self you'll have to wait until 335 days before you inbound flight - by which time, those who are going for 14 nights will have snapped up many of the outbound seats and consequently the price will be higher.

Contact an agent, they should be able to take passenger names without a deposit, then when the flights are on hold you can pay a deposit or cancel them with no obligation - depends on the agent and how helpful they are though.
