  • We have been looking into getting the Express passes for Universal Studios / Islands of Adventure when we go there but they are $25.99 per person

    Do you have a link to this information ?

    Also, you may want to look into staying at one of the 3 on-sight hotels. You automatically get express passes to the 2 Universal parks when you stay at one of them. (You still have to pay for park admission)
  • Seaworld?

    Are you having a laugh? Its the most overrated place on the planet in my opinion.

    IOA is awesome though!

    Seaworld has 2 of the best Roller Coasters in Orlando. Kraken and now the new Manta. Plus, my kids absolutely love Shamu. It's a great place for everyone.

    Looking to go to Orlando next July any date. Went 2years ago but made the mistake of staying on I drive and not getting a car, flew with virgin which was good. Learning from these mistake I now want to book a villa, car and flight. Thought I had flights organised through skyscanner but TC saying these are not available yet. What order should I book as I see a lot of villas allready booked but not sure to book this without flights. I would prefer to have all booked through Travel agent but quotes are too expensive, there is myself, husband, 2 kids 16years,13years.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Better than Hulk? Better than (cant remember exact name) but the Double Dragon thing? - No chance.

    Seaworld is a place for people who can't be arsed going and seeing animals in their true habitat, they pay $100 to go watch a dolphin have to do tricks for it's food, or to go watch a whale in a fish tank.

    All a matter of opinion - no need to border on the rude as some might say trekking half way across the world to go on a roller coaster rather say....
