Just checked best4 too and their 14 day is now also £159, if I were you I would wait. You have plenty of time till September and the prices have obviously risen because people are booking for summer.

Trust me, I'm not a doctor

This site is £150

Has anyone used the above link because the prices look good.

Prices move because of exchange rate movements too and the Dollar has been getting a bit stronger - rate has moved from 1.9 to 1.8

June - October is all low season for Orlando because of the humid weather and risk of tropical storms at that time of year.

Off on Sunday - can't wait!

I had just had the latest Mousesavers newsletter.

Brief extract from newsletter:

I continue to receive a lot of inquiries about Disney's Magical Express, the new transportation and luggage handling service offered at Walt Disney World. There have been continuing issues that you will want to consider before deciding whether or not to use the service. Mike tested the system from the airport to our hotel just before we went on the cruise. The upshot is, Magical Express is not horrible (usually) but it is time-consuming. Basically it's one of those "you get what you pay for" situations. To read Mike's report and my latest update on the service, visit http://www.mousesavers.com/mikemereport.html and http://www.mousesavers.com/magicalexpress.html

The big news for anyone planning a vacation to Walt Disney World between August 21 and October 4 is that Disney has rolled out an incredible package deal that gives you the dining plan for FREE! That's right, if you book a Magic Your Way package that includes at least a 3-night stay at one of the Disney hotels plus at least a 1-day ticket, you get the dining plan for your entire stay! To help you maximize the value of this great offer, Sue Pisaturo of Small World Vacations has written a full explanation of the plan and evaluated how much money it can save you. Plus, she has a nice offer -- free rain ponchos for each person in your party -- if you'd like to book your package through her agency.

As usual I have special savings for my newsletter readers on Disney World tickets. There are other great deals, of course, plus plenty of Disney news!

Not being one to resist temptarion i have AGAIN booked a Florida holiday!
I have looked on Disney website and checked out prices for admission etc..
My dilemna is this;
We want to visit 3 disney parks ONLY, BUT we are also booked to go next year to Florida. The Disney site does give the option to buy a 6-day pass with NO EXPIRY at $257--- V Good Price-- but am i entitled to purchase this? This ticket is only available if you select that you are a USA resident OR can I buy this 'at the gate' when we get there?
Anyone whose been to the parks recently do you have any idea on what the prices are if you 'pay on the gate'??
I am such a BIG Kid and am already planning the trip, even though its not till December!!!

scrouge,

Why not purchase a non-expiry ticket from one of the many Florida ticket agencies that have been mentioned? They are cheaper than buying directly from Disney.

At the weekend we bought 4 14 Day Disney Tickets for £151 each (pricematch) and 4 7 Day Day Universal tickets for £51 each from https://www.orlando-ticket-deals.co.uk

they were very good...

I have just ordered my tickets from attraction tickets direct. I wanted to ensure I got tickets from a reputable company. They were £57 more expensive than theme-park ticket.com but they price matched it. I have heard loads of recommendations about Attraction Tickets so now Im pleased I got them cheaper and from a very well recommended company. I did have to do it over the phone as this is the only way they can book the tickets as there is no way to 'price match' ordering online but they were very helpful. Am very happy now :j :j

Can someone please help me answer the question about Character Breakfasts. I am particularly intrigued to know where I can book them and where they are held.
It seems that all searches on the Internet say that you need to phone a number with a American Code, is this true or am I not reading it correct.

Any hints and I will be greatly appreciative, as will my 6 month old girls. Boy, am I looking forward to the 9 hour flight???????

Yes, you have to phone direct to Disney in USA. I believe they are quite expensive although I don't suppose you will be charged for your babies but I also wonder if they will even appreciate it?

Have a look at this website as you can find menus and prices there for all the Disney restaurants along with plenty of tips for viewing things like fireworks!
