Orlando/Disneyworld Thread (Part 3)

rawbob

I'm going to Orlando at the end of the month. Can I expect to get in to Fantasyland? Or do I need to register? Where do I register? The wife and I only have a one day park hopper for Disneyworld as we are there for a week for our honeymoon before heading to California. Thansk for any help.

It looks like I need to be an annual passholder to get in. Any chance someone here has two annual passes they can let me use? I already have a full schedule (2 days universal, 1 day disney, 1 day seaworld/aquatica, 1 day discovery cove, 1 day blizzard beach/disneyquest) for the week I am in Florida so the pass would be used solely to get in to Fantasyland.

Hi rawbob, APs aren't transferable. I don't think you are going to find anyone who will lend their AP as they risk losing them if the details don't match up. AP holders need to register as themselves. Sorry.

You may find that if you're using your one Disney day to visit the MK as opposed to one of the other parks that it is open on that day anyway. Keep an ear out on facebook and on the other unofficial disney websites such as disboards and try to work out the patterns of opening if you really want to go.

I have to agree that I think the chance of someone lending you their AP is slim to none. They cost a lot to buy and I know that I wouldn't lend mine out, even if it was in the rules.

You may get lucky as they are doing soft openings right now..

I agree I wouldn't lend mine out either lol!

rawbob

you don't ask, you don't get

I was hoping someone maybe had one that was about to expire or wasn't expecting to use it again this year.

Given the tech they use it would have to be scanned on entry anyway which would let you out using someone else's anyway..there may well be a soft opening anyway they have been doing them for a few weeks now.

Hi, we're looking to book a Virgin Flydrive to Orlando this November, looking at car hire, can we get away with basic hire? What are the local taxes & charges?
We've got a nearly 1yr old, can I take the car seat on the plane or as extra luggage? There is £500 between basic & Fully inclusive, then more again for Platinum which includes the car seat.

You might find it cheaper to book flights and car hire separately. Not sure about the car seat but i've hired one in Florida before, couldn't face the hassle of taking my own ! Virgin say you can take your own seat but it has to go in the hold. If you've booked a seat for your child then Virgin provide a child seat for them.
