Morning,

Has anyone ever used Billy Boy's tickets ? Found the link via www.kissimmee-us192.com/


What are they like, where is the pick up for the tickets ?

Not sure, but i can tell you 99% of the places around Orlando that say they sell Disney tickets etc for stupid prices are all tied to attending a timeshare presentation or attending a breakfast.

Believe me if it looks too good to be true in Orlando it is.

Most of the cheap tickets are remainders of 3 or 5 day tickets. Can be worthwhile if you only want a day at disney or the other attractions.

Hi

Never stayed at Kingston Reef but not long back from the Crowne Plaza Resort which is in the same grounds as Kingston Reef. Crowne Plaza was really nice and all the grounds, including those around Kingston Reef were really well maintained. Is Kingston Reef a timeshare property? It is located at the south end of International Drive, approx. a mile past Sea World. We thought the location was ideal as it was wonderfully quiet and easy to get in and out of as it is not nearly as busy as the rest of International Drive.. There is a Publix and Walgreens nearby, also a 7-11. The Orlando Premium Outlet Village is about 1 mile away too.

According to tripadvisor it is timeshare with the possibility that there is hotel suites as well, but we have booked it through a travel agent we found on teletext so I am not sure what we are getting.
I think this would suit us more us although it would be nice to be able to walk to places to eat, we would like something which is a little more quiet so that we could spend some time relaxing in the sun by a pool before I drag DH to the shops!

There is an Outback Steakhouse not too far from the Kingston Reef, a taxi would probably be quite reasonable if you didn't want to drive. It is certainly an ideal spot for quiet relaxation - we loved the area and would stay there again. We had previously stayed in the busier area of I Drive and the pool area was full of kids and very noisy.:rolleyes:

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help? Has anyone any experience of the Extended Stay Deluxe on Universal Boulevard/International Drive? Most reviews on trip advisor seem okay but me being me sees any negative ones! and starts worrying!

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice on how to really save some money. Costco USA are currently selling the 7 day Universal 3 park ticket for $99. However they do not seem to ship to the UK.

Does anyone have anymore information on the tickets from Costco or how I could possibly order them?

Ive booked it for March!! I am a worrier too and spent AGES looking at different places, its also in a good location.
Yes, some of the reviews are not good, but most were fine, not being funny but a lot of the negs were from USA visitors and they do report the smallest thing wrong! Good for them, but I would not be bothered about some of the stuff ie. bin not emptied in bathroom.
I thought this accommodation looked very good value for the money, I know people that stayed there when it was Sierra Suites and they said it was fine.
My cousin that lives in Atlanta says they are a fast growing decent chain, so hopefully any small probs would be resolved quickly. They also responded on TA to any complaints which was good.
I found the best value px booking through Expedia via Quidco as I combined the stay with my flights.
I would have paid approx £500 more each to stay in a top TA rated hotel which for 6 of us going would be £3000 more, so we are happy with this accommodation which seems to have nice space and the complimentary breakfast, which is handy as they apparently let you take away the muffins, fruit etc which we will take to the parks, having "pigged" out in Sizzler or one of the other chains as we love the big buffets for breakfast.

Hiya,

thanks for that. I feel a bit better now. I've went ahead and booked up. I managed to get a great deal through hotelopia with a 10% discount code from hotdeals then 10% cashback via quidco. Yippee!! Can't wait to go now. I am SO excited!!!! Enjoy your holiday in March!:j
