    $90.53 (10+) $84.14 (3-9) thats for a one day one park base ticket or you could get a 2 day 2 park to park ticket which is $166.13 (10+) $155.48 (3-9) which would work out a bit cheaper ( Prices taken from mousesavers )

    oh no blue_monkey i hope there was nothing ruined that cant easily be replaced :(

    I came on to ask if anyone knows of any must go to resteraunts in Orlando. I've been told about Golden Coral and CiCi's....we go in 8 days (darn weather permitting) so im just jotting down places so i can easily ask the taxi drivers. Also need somewhere extra special for OH's birthday!

    Chillis, Olive Garden, Sweet tomatoes are great places to eat. Buffalo wings (sports bar) on a thursday do half price boneless wings and they are lovely.

    Well, we loved Aquatica when we went but whether it's 'worth it' would depend on any extra cost/current plans to visit other waterparks/would this be in addition to or instead of other waterparks/what activities do you & your family like best in waterparks/have you already paid for other waterparks/is there time in your schedule etc etc etc
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Thank you Money Saving Expert! I checked out your Orlando Disney page whilst looking for tickets, the best deal for me was with Undercover Tourist. They said it would take 12 business working days for the tickets to get here and they arrived four days after ordering!!I'm in two weeks I can't wait!

    Damn, the ground floor of our house flooded in the early hours. Have spent the day chucking stuff away and ripping floor boards up. I need an early night, I am exhausted. :(

    Oh bm what a nightmare! Have only just read your post but so sorry to hear that. Had the same thing happen to us last year when we got back from the Disney transatlantic, only it got contained in the hallway. Hope that you get it addressed soon and have good insurers.

    Another vote here for the Olive Garden. I also love the Cheesecake Factory at Mall at Millennia. I defy any picky eater not to find something that they like on their extensive menu plus the puds are well, mmmmmmmmmmm....
