About the vouchers and the timeshare!
You see them everywhere, there's booths selling the tours, in shops/hotels etc etc.
We went on one of these, we were there for 3 weeks so we figured who cares about a shortish tour. It actually lasted closer to 3 hours and was a pain in the !!!!!!.
I told the guy from the outset we wernt buying anything, but he said, "Ah 2 out of 3 people who say that, buy one", we turned out to be the other 1 out of the 3
I cant remeber exactly which tickets we got I think it was a "Disney 5 day hopper+" which gets you in all parks + the water parks and pleasure island. And a ten day universal pass, which covers Seaworld and Busch gardens too.
All in all I roughly worked out we saved £500, so that was worth 3 hours out of a 3 week break.
If your only there 1 week, then each day is precious, and your savings will be less as 1 weeks worth of tickets is cheaper anyway. I'd say its worth it for a 2 week break. Oh and we haggled with the bloke booking our tour and blagged some free beer tokens for city walk universal. So ask and ye might get.
Hope this puts some people in the picture.

This American guy in the next room to us in our $25 motel did the tour for the "FREE" Disney Tickets. He bought 2 WKS at $20 000 PW at Orange Lakes Country Club. I thought -->MUG<--- you,re in this budget motel,you saved $100 on theme park tickets ,youve bought 2 weeks timeshare that if you sold tommorrow you'd get back half if lucky and you could stay in a 4 bed villa with private pool and still have change out the management fees.0

At the "final sell" part we were all in one huge room say tennis court size, and anyone who signed up, their respective salesman grabbed a microphone and anounced it to the room, where all the other salesman clapped and cheered (some punters too)
It was all carefully choreographed to instill security in perspective buyers,"if they bought one ,lets us buy one" 5 people bought in the 20 minutes we were in there!0
