what options are there for people going 21 days?

Disney have a 21 day ticket.......http://www.floridatix.co.uk/walt-disney-world-21dayultimate.aspx

or you could mix a Disney 14 day ticket with a Seaworld/Busch Gardens 14 day ticket or Universal/IOA combo......just don't start using one of them until your second week.

I have used this company for the first time for attraction tickets and do not think I will use them again. They promised that the tickets would arrive one week (Thursday 17th) before we go but as yet we have not received them (but they have our cash). Having contacted them they said they will be posted on Monday (leaving it all a bit late for my liking having booked them a few weeks ago). Has anyone else had problems with them?

without risking arguments again from people that have been here once or twice and think they know better than someone who goest to WDW at least once a month and lives here.

Ask me how to not pay for parking at WDW.

As I am going to disney shortly, can you tell me how not to have to pay for parking?

The easiest way to direct you is go to the Grand Floridian Hotel.
From the fromt entrance leave and turn left onto Floridian Way.
As you pass the Hess (Petrol Station) you will see a short road that does a u-turn to the left, turn here

As you exit you are in the car park road to Magic Kingdom and you have by-passed the car park pay booths.

From there you can get Monorail/Busses etc to the other parks.

That's the easy explaination, once you've done it you can not actually go to the hotel next time.

Has anyone bought tickets from themeparkticketsdirect.com? What was your experience? Their Universal 2 park ticket is £82, saving me £40+ for all 4 of use compared with expedia, but I've never used them.

Yes, we ordered tickets from them on June 4th 2010. Money went straight out of our account but we have not received the tickets yet (30 June)and we are flying on July 3rd. They said our Disney tickets had not arrived so they could provide e-tickets and they have promised to post our universal tickets tomorrow (1/7/10) which is cutting it fine. We have asked for a full refund for our Disney tickets but the sales staff cannot authorise this and they put you in a queue for customer service. We have been kept hanging on the phone for 25 mins twice today and had to give up as it is too expensive. Sent 2 emails with no response. We really would not recommend them from our own experience as we have also been given different information from different staff about the whereabouts of our tickets. Following these problems we found a site which has reviews from others about Theme Park Tickets Direct They seem to have had the same problems as us. Hope this helps.

Having trouble seeing how you get to the Grand Floridian in the first place. Google maps direct you through the gates of the magic kingdom

budget mum - it don't really matter if you get to the pay booths and say you are trying to get to the Grand Floridian they'll let you throught and tell you to take the next left (actually the second road) and turn right.

As you pass the first road (one way) on the left that is the by pass that you want (as they let you through don't just drive straight on to the parking, they look out for that).

But anyway when you get there you just follow signs for Grand Floridian anyway, you don't need to know where to go.

There is no sign saying no entry, or restricting use of the road by WDW employees or emergency services, there is no restrictions on this road whatsoever, therefore NO QUENTIN, IT IS NOT ILLEGAL!!! There is nothing in law that says you must pay for parking at WDW. It is up to WDW to secure their entracnces if they wish to. WDW charge you $14 (may have raised by now) and take no liability for your car or anything in it. If they wanted to make a legal thing of it and force you to pay they would then make themselves liable for the security of your "Paid for service" on their property. As (legally) they only "request you pay" then they can avoid legal action by saying that "you park at your own risk".

And what about WDW - why are YOU defending them (Oh that's right, you are not, you are just attacking me again!). WDW charge approx $75 per day so there you are Mum, Dad, 2 kids so you pay $300 (£200) to go in, and then they have the nerve to charge $14 (£9) to park - Talk about rip-off!

You do not buy car park spaces in a shop! So no it is not shoplifting - What a stupid suggestion!
It is not stealing as they are only legally requesting you pay. (they decide to do this to avoid being sued).
It is similar (WDW avoiding legal action at all costs) if you have an accident in WDW - their Paramedics (Reddy Creek Ambulance) do not charge you for treatment or transport to hospital - Everryone thinks this is WDW being nice, but actually they want you off their premises as fast as possible and in not charging for the service then you cannot sue them (in most cases) unless blatent incompetence or malpractice is involved. Or they say "dont worry mr accident victim, we'll take care of your medical bills" and then they send you a cheque for the first bill with "full and final settlement" and then after you've cashed it and receive another 5 bills WDW states you took full & final settlement = end of WDW liability!

It's all about $$$ - Purely business, that's why the "House of Mouse" is such a huge profit making organization! And good for them!

This site is for ADVICE if the reader decides (rightly or wrongly) that something is illegal or immoral then THEY have the option to ignore it. YOU however have no right to accuse me of suggesting anything illegal when you know NOTHING about what you are talking about.

You have a seriouse case of "arguing for the sake of it".

If you think I am stealing - I'll be going to WDW on Saturday (aboput 9:30am local time) tell the Police - I drive a black Cadilac Escalade, I'll even wait for a while - go on call them, make yourself look even more foolish!
