    Regarding tickets for Park entry, I think that we will be going to buy the 6park ticket at £185 as this gives us all of teh thrill rides which I think we are looking for. In terms of booking 'quick eueue', how much is this and would BG be the best place for it.

    I also agree, selecting the parks can be confusing but I think that we now know.

    Did you ask your insurer whether they could add your daughter to your policy?

    Yes, that was the first thing I did. But they couldn't provide cover if she wasn't a permanent residence of the main Policy holder. :mad:

    however, i have found a site that will do it (theidol.com) and have a satisfactory quote.

    Thank you :beer:

    Yes you can get them on arrival at the park..we have annual passes for BG and visit a lot..we have never waited longer than 30 mins (cheetah) the normal wait time is 10 to 15 mins in late August/Sept

    Thank you, but are these times with the Q busting tickets? ;)

    I wouldn't think so. We went (mid Aug) with the fast passes or whatever they are...Walked straight on to the Cheetah (which is AWESOME, by the way :)) and pretty much every other ride for that matter. Did all the rides in a couple of hours, which was just as well, as the heavens opened like you've never seen and we retreated to the car.

    I went to BG last August and we only really queued for the Cheetah ride and that was about 25 mins, the rest were about 5/10 mins.. don't think its worth getting a fast pass ticket

    Hi folks,

    Just wanted to say, stayed on Disney's Pop Century hotel end of May with my hubby and 2 kids and granny. We had interconnecting rooms. We thought the hotel was fantastic and had a real party atmosphere. The rooms were quite basic, but were clean and adequate and had disney characters everywhere.

    Also, we loved the extra Disney magic Hours we gained by staying here, and would defo return. Even though it was comparatively expensive (£80 a night) it really enhanced the whole Disney over-the-topness. Also, DD dressed as Cinderella, and the Bus Driver made a P/A to tell all the passengers there was a real Disney princess travelling with us that evening. She was so thrilled!!

    Hope this helps if anyone considering staying here.

    One more question please... SIM Cards, I've tried searching the forums but this place is HUGE:eek:

    I assume this is a common request for people wanting to stay in touch if they get separated in the parks.

    I've been looking at prepaid USA sims for my unlocked phone but some seem quite expensive (though much cheaper than using my Vodafone account)

    Does anyone have any pointers/recommendations? Much appreciated to help save some money while over there :j
