Thanks again. I was originally thinking of going in September/October but I'm told that its thunder season? Which is best 'late' month to travel?

September and May are the most likely months to get a last minute charter flight bargain.

Hurricane season is hard to avoid as its for half the year.

Sept / oct good months weatherwise, and crowd wise.

If i didn't have to go in school holidays i'd go in October. We've always been July/Aug, if you prepare yourself for the heat and humidity and the occasional downpour, it's fine ! It's never spoilt our holidays there.

Anybody know how I can find gate prices for Magic My Way tickets?

WDW website keeps redirecting back to the 'UK tickets' page for the ultimate/premium etc, I don't want those!

I've tried googling but I'm just going around in circles.....:wall:

Is All Ears up to date? They have some links there.

You used to be able to select "international" on the Disney.com website even if it defaults to UK - I don't know if you still can, but it's very annoying!

Thanks Karen, think I've found them here on All Ears
It's been 5 years since our last trip (:eek: how did that happen), I'd forgotten about All Ears

I looked for an option for 'international' on Disney.com, because I remember thats how I did it last time, but couldn't see one.
Disney plainly don't want us buying base tickets!

Hi all, looking at going to Orlando towards end of next year, probably Sept/oct, my question is when would be the best time to book. Not sure if to book individual or use a travel agent yet ..

Cheers

I wouldn't get annual passes, I would just get the 14 day ones which work out much cheaper.

Very much depends....annual passes come with other discounts that *may* make them a better deal -in park discounts, AP room rates etc so although the 14 day pass rate is lower overall it *can* work out cheaper to look at other combinations-for example one person on an AP and the others on 14 day passes.

Agree totally - the free parking can easily save $100 - $150 (more savings the more separate days you visit)

Hi, I'm just after some advice, we're 2 adults and 2 kids going to orlando for 18 days (some of thats travelling though so i reckon after recovering we'll have 15 real days) we wanted to see -

Magic Kingdom
EPCOT
Hollywood Studios
Animal Kingdom
Typhoon Lagoon
Blizzard Beach
Busch Gardens
Seaworld
Aquatica
Universal Studios
Island Adventure
Harry Potter Land

Am I pushing it to fit everything in? (I really wanted to go to Kennedy Space and Discovery Cove too but thats defo pushing it!) How long will we need for each?

Also the cheapest I can find tickets is £445 does this sound about right?
