    There's also http://www.attractiontix.co.uk/walt-disney-world.asp , they aren't as competitive as some of the prices I've seen (ie, we've paid £169 for a 14 day Ultimate ticket, when attractiontix is offering them for £177) but they do have the advantage that you can print them off as soon as you've paid for them online, then just swop them for proper tickets when you get there.

    Hope this helps, have a great time - I'm jealous you're going so soon, I still have to wait over two weeks! :D

    Thanks for that but we have contacted the disney store and they have none left for this year before we travel. We leave on Sunday. One disney store employee suggested that we buy them in Florida at MK do you know if this is much more expensive and are they big line to wait in. Many thanks
    Try these excellent in 2007 when I used to them. Pick up tickets on the 192.

    Is this tickets?

    You can buy them from hotels, DTD, the parks. There are queues but there are LOADS of ticket selling machines at the parks, it never a hassle.

    Cheers

    i believe they are after the 14 day ultimate tickets, in which case as otherwise stated i dont think you can get them in the usa, i thought they was only a thing for the uk market, Dave
    Take every day as it comes!!

    Hi Nicky,

    A couple of thoughts I have relate to the transport.

    First, I wouldn't go as far as Las Vegas or Los Angeles. They are so far out of the way and there are just too many time zones to adjust to. I've looked at doubling up on the Disneys in the past and visiting both in one trip, but its just too hard. Having said that, if they are determined to go to Las Vegas, a Disneyland/Vegas double is imminently do-able.

    NY is a different proposition. You could fly in and out of NY and break, or possibly schedule a little tour, say into NY, down to Orlando, out via Washington.

    My personal choice if you are staying in a villa rather than close to the attractions would be to go for two vehicles, though check if 4x4s have enough space, especially for luggage. My thought on that is that it is very difficult to get 13 people to want to do the same thing at the same time, therefore two vehicles should give you more flexibility to accommodate different ideas about what people want to do.

    Tickets to key attractions (Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Typhoon Lagoon, Universal's Islands of Adventure, Magic Kingdom & SeaWorld Orlando/Aquatica/Discovery Cove Orlando) and any others that you may recommend

    you can get a ticket that combines seaworld/buschgardens/aquatica all in one, and you can visit each park as many times as you want in a 14 day period, it is certainly cheaper than buying seperate tickets for each park, Dave.
    Take every day as it comes!!

    I am off next april and disney are selling 14 days ultimate for the price of 7 for £169 for the 2009 season.

    this deal ends in november 2008. you cant get these tickets for 2009 at a cheaper price anywhere else on line and i mean anywhere.

    Thanks...seems things have changed recently then, I can only assume due to the dollar rate (shocking today M&S have a rate of $1.69!!!:eek: I use Thomas Exchange Global thank goodness, still awful though).

    I will still wait nearer the time for myself as there are always offers on at the end of May when we go (although I have booked our flights with Virgin). I managed to get my daughter a 14 day Ultimate ticket on ebay for £100 this year which saved £40, Our 4 adult tickets I bought 2 weeks before we went at themeparktickets for £159 each. I have used this company too who will also price match and send tickets out v quickly. http://www.attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk/

    we are off to Orlando again in June. Would love to stay in a Disney hotel but most only seem to take 2 adults and 2 kids in a room.

    DS will still be in a cot, could I just book for four people and then ask for a cot as well.

    It brings the price of staying at Disney way way up otherwise
