Watchout for the Easter dates as they are dearer,it is also dearer the beginning of May so March maybe your best/cheapest option.
The first time we went we ditched the car hire option and stayed on the (I drive) International Drive we had airport transfer to the hotel .
There is a excellant bus(trolly) service up and down the I drive .It was one of the most relaxing holidays I have had absolutely no driving highly reconmended!Bus tickets on the I drive are cheap.
I am sure someone else will have had a similar experience.

Yet another cheapskate wanting to comit fraud for the sake of a few quid.

Unlikely you would get in to serious bother but if you did your family could put the ticket money towards your bail. :rolleyes:

Your child is 3 and should pay for tickets. No ifs, No buts and no amount of excuses will justify the fact you will be commiting a criminal offence by stealing.

Interesting point that you (repeatedly) make. We were in exactly the reverse situation last November. MTK is a big Tot for his age and looks/acts (at times) like he is of school age. His 3rd birthday was on 21st Nov and we were keen to make sure that as a 2 year old, he still didn't need to pay (most places say aged 3 and over pay child prices) - so we carried his passport with us that showed his age, just in case anyone took us to task.
No one did, although a couple of places did say that 'he's a fine boy for his age, isn't he'.

I'm with Bobsworlduk on this, your going to spend a few grand on a holiday, why pee about trying to rip someone off for a few $$$'s.

a FEW quid is going to be £300 so it might be worth the risk of a jail term for such a heinous crime :rolleyes:

I am looking for tickets for Disney as we are off to orlando at the end of this month. The cheapest I have found is kgstickets.com

They will deliver to our accommodation for an extra $10, as they require 3 weeks for international posting and that has passed. Just wondering if anyone has used them before and if they are reliable?

Thanks

Do most of the villa communities in Orlando require the use of a car?

We usualy stay on I-Drive but will be going for 3 weeks so the hotels will be too expensive, and a villa appears to be more cost effective....until you add in car hire.

Or, are there any other resorts close to Orlando which are beach based and have a decent amount of shops and restaurants to keep us amused, and we could head inland for a few days? Maybe that would be a nice change in fact.
