    Ok, after posting on this thread yesterday and reading Martin's "cheap Florida Tickets" article... i've just booked a spur of the moment trip to Florida! :o... never been before so should be a interesting trip.... think i got a good deal .. leaving 1st Jan, 14 nights on I-Drive with Virgin Flights from Manchester and car hire ..£553 ... care hire does not include "insurance" so have decided to book my own car through netflights.

    I now have 100's of pages to trawl through to find the best places to visit/eat/see.... thanks guys!! :beer:

    Just wondering if anyone has this months copy of the mousesavers.com newsletter. I only just signed up but since the newsletter is sent out on the 15th of the month it said I am too late to recieve it. I read that there is a secret link in the newsletter for discounts on tickets through undercover tourist. We fly out on the 13th Dec so I want to get my tickets soon.

    If you got the newsletter please let me know & I can pm you my email address so then you can forward it to me.

    Many thanks, mamamoi

    if it's any help the prices were the same when we bought them without a link from mousesavers as they were WITH the link. ;)

    It's the same today on the 14 day Ultimate UK tickets:confused: £215.04 adult price.

    We did get them from undercover tourist, because it's real tickets they give you.

    I can't find the £114 ticket, do you have a link? Thanks

    It's the low season 2010 ultimate deal. Non swimmer is £114.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks, I just found that out too! I think we are going to go with the 10 day MYW base ticket as I don't think we'll be hopping, unless someone can advise me if it's much better to hop. It is $246.95USD which works out to be roughly £150. We will be starting the ticket around 14/15th Dec
    and want to do the majority of our visits the week before Christmas to avoid the crowds as much as possible (although I know it's going to be hard to avoid them at all around this time!).

    If I remember correctly you will be there around Christmas & New Year. I have done a bit of a spreadsheet combining info from a few different sources just to help with the planning. The planning calendar on the Dibb is great, but this has helped to have all the parade & fireworks & crowd level details before we started on the calendar. I have only done 14-31dec but if you want a copy PM me your email address & I'll send it to you.

    Quick question - which is the best outlet mall to go to looking for caterpillar boots (not Timberland), DH has had his Cats since 2001, it's time we treated him to a new pair.;)
