    No problem at all

    So you have got the card, on it there is an 1 800 access number?

    From your hotel dial 9 then the 1 800 number - this shodl be a free call. If they want to charge you 50c then a) complain and b) use the phone in the lobby as that will be free.

    Then when they phone is answered, enter your PIN and then dial thenumber you want to dial. For the UK you will need to dial 011 44 then the area code minus a 1 so to call Chelmsford say it would be

    011 44 1245 123456

    hi Mandy what would you like to know? at the moment to get tickets in England virgin are about the cheapest but pop into a Disney store as they often do deals, your 2 teenagers will unfortunately be classed as adults in the parks so you will need 4 adult tickets of what ever ones you want, next what are you planning on doing whilst you're out there do you want to do the big 8? or just Disney, are you driving or stopping at Disney? do you have an itinerary yet? I i go in october for my 4th time and i cant wait:j
    hi not sure what is best? it a treat i will have finished uni and finally be a nurse and kids done gcse etc they never been before.
    am travelling with virgib, its just there are so many places trying to pick best for them. im staying on international drive but dont fancy driving so have not took the option. friends that have been say shuttle buses are really good and our hotel has a free service to some parks

    Hello there.

    We are flying out on 22nd December and staying till after the new year.

    I personally have never flown before, but my DH has. So I am a bit apprehensive being such a long flight.

    Anyway, we are taking our daughter (5) any tips or advice?

    We have been keeping an eye on the weather, alot of our friends have said its really warm and t shirt and shorts weather, however upon research I think we need jeans and sweaters. Hard to know what to take!

    We are not hiring a car. Is this wise?

    We are staying in the Marriott nr Seaworld. I dont drive, and we thought there would be plenty of transport to get us about and the hotel provide transport to a few locations.

    Also - we have a ultimate ticket pass we bought through the TA. Its unlimited entry to all attractions (inc Disney, Seaworld Epcot etc wtc) We hope to visit most but if we cant whats the top ones?

    We also are waiting to change up our money, unfortunately we didn't have it till this week, so would you wait or grab at the 1.44 that it currently stands.

    Thanks :)
    i would really double check those tickeys, as there isnt ONE ticket that covers all the parks. the ULTIMATE tickey only covers the disney owned parks, not universal or seaworld. ONLY disney parks ie magic kingdom, animal kingdom,epcot, and hollywood studis, plus the water parks owned by disney which is blizzard beach and typhoon lagoon. please check to make sure.

    I went into thompsons yesterday and the lady there told me that they do a ONE ticket that covers all of the parks in orlando (disney, universal etc). However there systems went down while in the shop so never got to get a price for it. She did however show me a leaflet about it and it did mention all of the parks but it no price on it.

    I am going back tomorrow so hopefully will have a price for it.

    well i would definitely recommend the 5/7 day premium ticket for Disney world, after all you'd be crazy to go all that way and not visit the mouse, as for the other parks there are various options, because you have teenagers they will love the universal parks so a 2 day universal park ticket is a must, however if you want to take in sea world and the new aquatica park then i would go for the orlando flexi ticket which get's you into all of these, if you want to go thurther afield and like the big rollercoasters then busch gardens is the park for you and you can do this on a flexi plus ticket there's a free buss that takes you there from sea world which is at the bottom of international drive, me and the hubby have just bought a 7 day premium ticket and a flexi plus ticket as we plan on doing all the big 8 plus the new aquatica and probably a disney water park as well. if you are on international drive then that is where wet and wild is and either of the flexi tickets will alow you in here as well, hope this helps,:D

    This will be a travel agents "ticket" of a compilation of tickets and therefore can't be compared without pricing all the tickets separately which is worth doing to see if its competitively priced.

    there is no one ticket for all parks - all they would be offering would be a separate ticket for Disney and then one for the rest of the parks. they may offer a discount however but at least check online to see whether its any cheaper
