Orlando Florida/Disneyworld (Part 2) *CLOSED*

One thing to look closely at are the extras included. The normal ticket includes SW for 7 days but pay a little extra and get 14 days to SW, BG and if going after March next year Aquatica. We did it this way and bought universal tickets rather than doing just swim and buying flextickets. Worked out cheaper . Also me and wife weren't to bothered about doing the actual swim (kids are doign this) so that saved some on price as well

Thanks for that but I have done loads of homework, I have been offerd a 4 bed villa for £500 for 2 weeks I can stay here http://www.goldenflorida.co.uk/properties/property.asp?ID=28 for £189 per week. Or even this hotel http://orlando.checkintoday.ws/hotel_info.php?CityName=Orlando/Kissimmee&indate=2007-10-15&outdate=2007-10-26&mode=D&SuburbName=&star3=on&star4=on&star5=on&SortBy=MinTotal&PageIndex=0&HotelID=35737&ViewCurrency=USD for $30 per night. Stuck for choice really.

Hi, we have just booked our flights to florida next may and now need a 4 bed luxury villa for 2 weeks, The villa needs two master bedrooms could anybody recomend any companys as we would like to book asap.
Thanks Jen

i doubt you will find a villa without two master bedrooms.most will have at least 3 bathrooms aswell on a villa of this size
they will usually be one bathroom/shower room per master bedroom and then another bathroom sharing the 3rd & 4th bedroom

afraid i cant help with searches as im lazy and book it all in one through travel city

Hi Karen,

We are members at Old Key West. Joined in 1995. My OH worked for Disney at the time, so made buying a bit easier. Sorry to hear about the stamp duty. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the dollar going down so that if you buy back in it doesn't cost very much.

Old Key West is a lovely resort and you obviously got a great deal. Thank you for the crossed fingers

dazco - that's a fantastic price for a villa. Unfortunately the link doesn't take me to a specific property so I'm not sure where it's located. You will definitely need a car staying at a villa and won't be able to take advantage of the alcoholic drinks for sale but then you can always enjoy a nice chilled beer by your own pool. The hotel's not as well located as it could be IMHO as it's a way down the 192 (Irlo Bronson Highway). If you drive then there is a great shortcut that will take you onto Disney without putting up with endless traffic lights on the 192; it is called the Osceola Parkway and takes you right into Disney. It is a toll road and will cost $1 or maybe $2 depending on where you join it, but it's money well spent if the 192 drives you mad with the many junctions.

hi all,i need a bit of advice myself and two other adults have booked a holiday to orlando first two weeks in november, i know this is over the halloween holidays but im just wondering is there anyway we could get "cheap" disney world tickets either before we go or whilst we are out in orlando.

thanks to the reccomendation of a few people on here we are planning to go to st.petes beach for the day and have seen mentioned on a few websites about boat trips offering fishing or dolphin watching.Has anyone been on these or know anything about prices?

any help or advice would be greatfully appreciated

Hi, I have found that unversal studios offer discounted tickets for members of the AAA.
Has anybody who is a member of our AA successfully used their card to get discounted tickets?

Thanks for the advice, the villa is here http://www.oakwaterresort.com/oakwater-resort.cfm#a_amenities I think, that one is $950 for 14 nights

This is the £500 villa, seems a bit daft for only 2 of us. http://www.florida-villa-rental-tk.com/index.html

Call the AA before you go and they will send you a triple AAA discount card.

Hi all

Going on our third trip end of Nov for 10 days, been in the summer before but wanted to go around christmas time this time, anyone been around christmas time, is it a good time?
Also have been told that Broadwalk (where shops and restuarants are is nice) tried to find it last time with no joy, how do we get there?
Staying in Lake Buena Vista, can you get there from down town disney on the boats? Anything else to recommend seeing at this time?

Yes - both at Universal and Disney and elsewhere (though off the top of my head I forget where)

We have just used our normal AA card and explained we are from the UK, we've never had a problem.
