Hi Kelly,

Just pricing up for our visit and at the moment the Virgin deal looks best for us, called the Magic Me package and covers lots of the parks we want to go too. I guess it's difficult to advise as you are planning to visit in 2014 and price may be a lot different.

Good luck in the mind field.

G1za have you had a look at Pillinger or Charter travel? Virgin Holidays have been coming up the most expensive for most people this year

Hi, Looking for some advice! Planning on going to orlando in November. Looking for a villa, flights and car hire. Cheapest I can find is a tour operater called ' Kenwood Travel' . Has anyone booked with them? Just wondering if its a reputable company. Also does anyone have any advice on the best area for a villa? I have read about a lot of crime in some areas. Any advice would be great, thanks in advance.

Can't think of any areas where a tourist would hire a villa that would consitute an area of crime.

There are some no-go areas in Orlando - but it is very, very, very unlikely you would end up going anywhere near there as a tourist.

I've booked before with a company called https://www.floridabees.co.uk i couldn't get a cheaper deal anywhere. Virgin flights and beautiful villa at The Shire West Haven. Car hire through Budget. Lovely lady called Sue Bowler there, she couldn't have been more helpful.

We've been a few times, stayed in villas each time, not had any problems with crime anywhere, most villas were off the H27, but as you would at home, take the same precautions with valuables etc. There aren't many people about during the day on the gated communities, most people are out at the parks etc, so i suppose the risks are the same. Most villas have safes anyway.

Hi Guys,

Just came across this offer whilst searching for park tickets so thought I'd share it. I've never heard of this before but if you're going for 2 weeks this is ideal and really cheap. Orlando Combo tickets combine Disney & Universal tickets for a lot cheaper than if you bought seperately.

http://www.orlando-ticket-deals.co.uk/tickets/orlando-combo-tickets.html

Whenever I've been I've always bought a 14 day Disney Hopper pass and the Orlando Flexticket which includes Universal & Seaworld. I priced this to be about £420 (quick google) per adult for 2012. The above ticket doesn't include Seaworld but even if you paid on the day if you really wanted to do Seaworld you'd still save.

Just thought I'd share as I think this is the best deal I've come across involving tickets anyway.

hi wondering if anyone has advice or help.

we are going to orlando leaving for the aiport this friday. Just been looking online for theme park tickets and the last two sites ive seen advertise actually tickets, just wondering is that the theme with orlando tickets, i stupidly thought they would be like etickets that i would be able to print off before i went. otherwise it looks like i will have to pay £10.95 next day delivery for the tickets to arrive before we go?

anyone had similar experience?

thanks in advance

Some sites have e-vouchers which you take with photo Id and redeem at GS at the appropiate park..some have hard tickets which you may have left it a bit late to get here in time.

Check out the ticket forum on the dibb..you will get some great advice there.

cleofish

many thanks for your quick reply, grr if i had known would have done this bit of planning first. Thought they would have been similar to go passes ive had before.

thanks for the hint will look at link now
