Orlando Florida/Disneyworld (Part 2) *CLOSED*

fizzyhelen

If you are wanting the Orlando Flextickets, I found Virgin Holidays to be the cheapest, for 2009 the prices are £130 for adults and £110 for children. You need to add on a £1 per ticket if you are just ordering tickets and not booking a holiday I think:

wow that was a close one, we just booked ours on friday, at the old £169 price, as we had phoned disney store, and they told us it was still going to be the 14 day for the price of 7 day offer, but it was going to go up (probably due to poor exchange rate) as old price was about £12 a day to go to a disney park! the offer is still on till december the 2 but has gone up

Going next May for 3 weeks. 2 adults + 1 (age 7)
Intend on buying Disney 14 day Ultimate tickets £169/£149 (Disney)
Discovery Cove Ultimate £197 (Floridatix.co.uk) £197 (includes Sea World, Aquatica & Busch Gardens for 14 days)
Universal 2 Park Bonus (14 days) (Floridatix.co.uk) £69/£65
These are the cheapest I can find.
Does anyone else have an recommendations or found them cheaper?
I reckon on 8 days at Disney Parks, 2 Universal, 1 SeaW, 1 Busch, 1 Aqu, 1 DC = 14 days total and 7 left.
Anyone recommend Floridatix?

have you been before ? , because imo i think you need 3 days at universal ( one day for each side and a third day to do the bits you missed or redo the bits you liked ) and I think one day at seaworld isnt quite enough? , you could stagger the start date of the tickets to cover the three weeks

I have never used Floiridatix, but if the price is good get Attraction Tickets Direct to pricematch. ATD are tried and well tested.

Seaworld = Waste of a day.

Universal 2 days.

Disney 1 day per park.

Disneywaterparks - 365 days

Yep - add in some extras like Gatorland, Green Meadows and Cypress Gardens and the days fly by

why don't we like Seaworld?

I haven't been for a good few years, and apart from polar bears, which are never nice to see in captivity, they had shamu, and people got wet?

i seem to remember them having some rides there too?

Dont like seeing animals perform tricks for food, not just that though its the fact there are hardly any rides and after paying a small fortune for entry you then have to pay for some of the rides.

Just didnt like the place.

Why are you going to the airport to pick up a car? You can pick a car up anywhere and drop it back at the airport, with no extra charges, as long as its from one of the major companies. At least, then you can get your car whenever
Disney is great, but there is a lot more to Orlando/ Florida than Disney!

Thanks for your help, do you have any recommendations for car hire? I just assumed that we would have to pay an additional charge for collecting and dropping the car at different areas.

I'm not spending the whole time at Disney which is why I need the car for the post Disney part of my hols.

I've been three times and used these every time with no problems,
http://www.uscarhire.co.uk/ .i used the gold option with Dollar Car Rental as this included a full tank of fuel. the prices include all the insurances you will need. this is just my personal experience though, and i'm sure other people will reccomend other companies.
