Can't seem to find anywhere that will sell annual passes to British people for Disney - how can we buy them? Any tips?

thanks.

I have Annual pass for WDW, and another for seaworld, and also one for Universal...I bought them at the gate, dont think you can get annual passes in the UK

Has anyone flown Thomas Cook to Florida recently?

I want to book flights, etc, for a group for next August and at the moment Thomas Cook are coming up with the best fare. Having flown scheduled on pretty much every holiday I've been on in recent years, I'm a bit nervous about flying charter. Sorry, that makes me sound like such a snob! It's just that I have visions of being crammed in like sardines, awful in-flight entertainment, minimal luggage, etc. My last charter experience was a few years ago, on Monarch for 10 hours to Maldives :eek:

I understand that TC are now flying a new fleet on this route and that they really are on a par with the scheduled airlines...

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, and potentially will save us £££

I originally tried to buy Annual Pass from that link, but received an email saying they couldnt send the ticket to UK, I had to buy while in the US as they would need to see my passport or ID...so bought it at the gate

I flew with Thomas Cook this year to Orlando and to Canada. Both flights were very good. The leg room was excellent and the food was fine. I would use them again without any hesitation.

A couple of questions for the experts on here:

1. If I am hiring a car in the US is my UK drivers license sufficient or is there something else I require?
2. I have seen what appears a good deal on Hotwire. My 11 year old son and I are the only travellers. Is there a possibility that the room may only have one bed?

Any help appreciated.

Anyone able to help?

Hi there

Techically you need both your paper and credit card licence but we only are ever asked fopr the credit card sized one. You will also need a credit card. They will take a print of this and charge any damage or fuel etc to it.

As for hotel rooms. Normally you only get one bed when its a King room. If its a queen or double then it shold be to. Do you know what hte name of the hotel is?

Hi,

We're off to Florida for 3 wks in Sept.

Can anyone advise what the best disney ticket prices are at the moment. We've got discovery cove package (with busch, aquatica and seaworld) for the exact middle of the hols, so we were thinking of doing Disney first.

We only really want to go to Epcot, Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, but I understand that they may take more than one day to go around, which is fine (this is first visit to Orlando).

We're 2 adults, 2 children (15 and 10).

I'm signed up to mousesavers, and have routed around the web. But I think I've over-searched, and am now back to the beginning of not really knowing which is best. Thanks so much for your advice.

IMHO, go for Epcot a day, MK, AK and MGM 2 days each. You may finish early one day, so pop into a Disney waterpark to cool off.

A 7 day Ultimate would get you this lot, but the clock starts on day one, so do all Disney in one go, then all the other stuff either before or afterwards.

Alternatively, get a Magic Your Way 7 day pass, which can be spread over a longer period, but it then costs extra for Hopper between parks on the same day, eg going to the waterpark.

You may find going early for a few hours, then back to hotel pool, then back later for a few hours helps in the heat.
