ive heard a few reports about aqautica, and none of them very good. the park isnt as good as disneys water parks. the tube ride tho the dolphins, isnt as good as it looks, you cant actaully see anything as you go through as the water is spraying up in your face and its over very quick, the rest is just an ordinary water park

Hi

Just like to say I may be in a minority here but I actually enjoyed Aquatica It was November when I went and it was not very busy in fact we were the first people in the park.

For those thinking of going I would say make up your own mind but,equally, dont be put off by the reviews. I went to MVMCP and to be honest I thought it was a lot of money but I had to do it as it was my first trip to Disney.

Florida and Orlando is a very evil place. Now I have been nothing will live up to the experiance that I had there. Absolutly superb. Clean,cheap and welcoming. Oh my god I want to go back

the fort wilderness palce to eat is great, i cant remember the name, the do a great value all you can eat buffet lunch, we only found this on out last day, and we really surprised how good it was , and as its so near to the magic kingdom, we will be going there alot next time we go.

That's Trails End, well known for being one of the few "bargains" onsite. Just be aware they have been experimenting with the lunch menu recently - I believe the choice has been greatly reduced.

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.

Thanks, we picked the tickets up yesterday from Thomson and it is fine! We paid £278 for the ultimate pass which is for 14 days unlimited in all the parks. We have 2 sets of tickets to collect when we get out there though. We have been given 2 vouchers, so I assume that is correct.
Was assured by Thomson anyway and all seems above board!

It was a 2 week only deal in the summer apparently. :-)

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.

Yes thats where we got ours,

We paid 278 per adult and 238 for our daughter (5) So total of 794 which we paid over 4 months, so worked out ok for us.

there really isnt a ticket that covers all the parks, i have been many times to florida, if there was a ticket i would have bought them. there really isnt no matter what the travel agent tells you! they are probably selling a package of tickets, but not one for all. that would be like having a tesco sainsbury gift voucher it just aint gonna happen.

No, there is, maybe we ended up paying more I dont know, but we have ultimate flexibility with it, and 14 days unlimited where ever we want to go suits us.

The travel agents (Thomsons) did give me 2 vouchers to take with us. We exchange them for tickets at the Epcot centre apparently. All seems above board etc.

Its the travel agent's way of getting people to buy all their tickets through them, I'm assuming the two vouchers will be one for the Disney parks ie the 14 day ultimate ticket and the other will be the Orlando Flex ticket for the other parks.

Its on one voucher but in 2 halfs. Does that make sense! Suppose 14 days is for Disney, 14 Days is for the Orlando one, Seaworld, Universal etc etc.

Just one point about exchanging your vouchers for tickets as you won't be able to exchange the Orlando Flex ticket at Epcot but at one of the parks covered by the tickets. Also you should be able to exchange your Disney voucher at CS at any of the main Disney parks including DownTown Disney.
