    where would we take the voucher,too world of disney store?
    ps how do you fake the ip address or is it really difficult?

    Hi Dazzer

    You can try in WOD store yes, but if I remember correctly buy one of the DVC stands is a small guest services desk where you can do it.

    The fake IP address thing is OK if you are pretty IT tried ti a few times to watch US telly from abc.com over here and its OK. Do a google search for IP Proxy server.

    I have noticed it worked much better in the US so when I am in the US i can log into a UK server and watch IPlayer etc :)

    I've just been on the phone to Virgin (who sell the voucher for 14 day disney ultimate tickets)

    They're cheaper than disney, but it concerns me that I have to take the voucher to the gate at disney.

    If I buy my ticket at a disney shop, will I just be able to walk in? Can I buy an e-ticket (which I do for disneyland paris)

    I really do hate queing!

    We got our tickets from Virgin for Sea World and the 14 day Disney ticket on each occasion we had a paper voucher.. you go to guest relations ticket booths to redeem and we had no probs whatsoever.

    Would recomend them.

    Very nice. I think the road works have now finished on the approach road. Big Villas. Do not think it is manned, gated now. Free internet in the clubhouse, with all the usual gaming machines and a couple of English papers on sale. and nice little bar with big pool not that we used it.

    Sounds great, and the clubhouse sounds like a good little retreat for me and Mrs Blink if we want to get away from my brother and his 3 kids.

    I have just seen that Virgin Atlantic are paying 3 % cashback and Virgin Holidays 4% cashback if you do your booking by clicking via Top Cahs back http://www.TopCashBack.co.uk/disney_cjd/ref/index.htm or quidco www.quidco.com

    Other travel agents are on there also.

    So no queues with people buying tickets?
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

    worth noting that the VA cashback is applied to the price of the flight, and excludes taxes, fees etc.

    better than nothing though.

    Hi there. If you are talking about the Wyndham on International Drive - I have been there twice. I went to Florida in 2004 with my partner, and when we decided to go back in 2007 we stayed at the Wyndham again as we enjoyed it there so much the first time. I also read a whole load of bad reports on Trip Advisor but in my humble opinion you have nothing to worry about.

    OK, the rooms may be a little "tired looking" but the grounds are beautiful and its like a little oasis on International Drive! When you are lying by their pool its hard to believe you are bang slap in the middle of a major tourist area. The nachos served by the pool bar are delicious and they have a great deli-type place to grab a quick breakfast on your way out to the parks. The staff are very helpful, and the hotel is perfectly situated for all the parks, especially if, like us, you are not hiring a car.

    The hotel is also within walking distance of some fabulous restaurants - check out Bahama Breeze and Cafe Tu Tu Tango.

    A tip for you - go onto Wyndham's website and sign up to be a "Wyndham by Request" member. When you arrive at the hotel you get some treats in your room! We have a bottle of wine, some crackers and cheese and a nice welcome note.

    Finally - have a great time!

    Hi thanks very much for this you really put my mind to rest. Am looking forward to our holiday now!!! Will certainly try out to restaurants you mentioned, as we dont want to eat 'Junk Food' for 3 weeks, can u recommend anymore? :T
