    Sorry Girlpower me again, just thought that at the moment there are ticket deals for Universal at www.attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk , you can buy an adult 2 day/2 park pass (3rd day free) ticket both Universal parks and get a child ticket free.

    You are a star!!!:beer: cost me £118.00 including free delivery and no cc charges for 4 of us to go to universal parks and citywalk for 3 days. bargain!

    Just need to sort 2 more adult tickets now to go with them but will wait to see if any other offers come up first.

    Has anyone used this service by booking direct with Disney. We are due to go in April and their website isn't too clear. I think you are supposed to get special luggage tags but not sure if they are sent in the post or you pick them up at the airport.

    First off, Disney's Magical Express is only available if you are flying into Orlando International Airport (MCO) and not Sanford (SFO).

    It is a really great service. You get taken straight to your Disney Resort (making maybe 1 or 2 stops at other Disney Resorts along the way). On the way, a film showing everything there is to do around the resort, on On-Board video screens.

    On the way back, you are taken back to the Airport with a different video.

    I believe the luggage tags are only if you live within the US. If you live in the US and fly on select airlines, then Disney will pick your luggage up at Baggage Claim and take it right to your hotel room.

    Hope this helps.

    This may help someone. They now reckon they are the cheapest in the uk

    But I would suggest checking them and then getting Attraction tickets Direct [excellent service] to price match.

    Hi, I am flying to Orlando next Saturday for 7 days (one adult, 2 children) and was wondering what Disneyland tickets to purchase.

    5 Days out of seven is a heck of a lot!!! Its very tiring. Some of the USA outfits do 2 and three day passes.

    Two things to be aware off when ordering tickets.
    Make sure the tax is on the price before you pay.
    Ensure that you have tickets not vouchers.
    Two outfits I have used on many occasions

    USA excellent prices no longer do the free postage bit but still excellent

    Then the Attraction tickets Direct.
    https://www.attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk

    These have a price promise so use it. Hope it helps.
    More information can be found on forums throughout the Internet.

    UKDISH and DISS are two of the more popular

    i would go with the 5 or 7 day premium ticket. here http://www.attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk/walt-disney-world-florida/index.htm

    it gets you into all 4 theme parks and the 2 water parks (bear in mind, one water park will be closed for seasonal maintenance)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Until the 12th of FEb Florida Orlado Tickets have a spcial offe,r get two days free, so if you want 5 days, you can pay for a 3 day ticket and gat the two days extra free.

    A base ticket (expires after 14 days and no park hopping) is $200 for an adult and children at $166, so that is $521. The eschange rate is currently good, so that is (at $1.90 to the £1) is £278.

    They will also do free delelvery to your hotel, I have used them and they are very relaible.

    If you want to be able to park hop (go to more than one park in a day) ad $48 dollars per ticket.

    Have you thought of (assuming that you drive) a 1 day, 1 way rental and drive yourself across.

    Cheapest way, Amtrak it, but you would still need to get from the Amtrak station in Tampa into Tampa Bay/Clearwater.
    On the Silver Star service, dep Orlando 10.30, arr Tampa 12.34 $10.
