As with all holidays, had a big kicker today.

Staying at Coronado Springs from 29/02/2012 to 15/03/2012, and just did a price check today, for the same times, and see the Animal Kingdom Lodge is now over £500 cheaper than what I paid for my hotel!

Just great!

hi just a bit of adive needed regarding twilight checkin at manchester
we are travelling down to manchester the day before our flight and staying in a hotel for the night so would really love to check the bags in the day before
we are flying with thomson ive been on the website it says you can use twilight to check your bags in but you wont be given your bording passes if it is a USA flight until the following day so does that mean we will still have to queue? so wondering if its gonna be worth it

Why would you do that?!?:eek:

Cardinal Rule no 1 - once you've booked, stop checking the prices! :rotfl:

Who did you book with? Possible to amend, pay fee and still come out ahead? This is one of the benefits of booking direct with Disney USA.

Though I have to agree with jackieblack :A

Hi we have a holiday booked for november to florida 4 adults and 4 children and am not sure as to whether we r need a car or not as we are quite central on int drive this is our first visit to florida so will probably only stay around the main parks any advise anyone Thanks from a disney first timer

we went to florida for the first time last year, stayed in Kissimee would definitely advise a hire car, other half was initially worried about driving but we took satnav and roads are so easy to drive. gave us so much freedom, went to kennedy, busch gardens, universal and well as disney. we wouldnt think of doing it again without a car.

I assume you will be going to the Disney parks? If you are relying on buses then it would take 6 buses in total to get to and from any of the Disney parks (3 going and 3 coming back) and it's also very time consuming.

A taxi would cost around $38 + tip and the same back. You would require two due to number so that would be over $150.

They do run shuttle buses from the Enclave Suites but they are often at inconvenient times and are $12 return per person so $96 for 8 people.

With 4 children and doing Disney I would definitely hire a car, failing that I would stay in LBV.
