    Does anyone have any advice on what kind of travel insurance to get for a couple going for one week to orlando

    Not taking to much stuff so baggage allowance doesnt need to be too much just worried about if anything happens over there as medical help seems to cost so much

    anyone got any idea how much it would cost to purchase disney tickets from florida . are there any savings to be had by buying them in florida rather than buying them in advance in the UK.

    Hi Gruddalo

    Its a different ticket in teh US to here. The UK tickets are basically an all you cna eat ticket, you go as many times as you like withina set number of days. In teh US its different. You buy a base ticket for so many days and then you add options like hoppers, never expire etc.

    At themoment the Disney website is playing silly games and you can not get to the US site but with the dollar rate who knows.

    I do know from memory a single day is 75 dolalrs plus tax and I think two days are 119 but that coudl be wrong

    When I went to orlando last year, I'd intended to get a 13 day, disney/seaworld uber pass of doom, but Premier travel misunderstood "park tickets" and insisted "tickets for the resorts are provided in the hotel price" which later transpired to be the HOTEL's resort, rather than the actual theme parks, leaving me and my friend in a disney hotel with no tickets to any theme parks.

    This actually turned out better than I could have hoped, however, because we blagged a free ticket into magic kingdom, which we completed in one day, leading us to realise that a 4 day "1 park per day" disney ticket was all we needed each, plus a 4 day universal ticket, which worked out far cheaper than we'd budgeted for.

    If youre going to orlando without kids, off peak, I'd recommend 8 days of 'doing parks' because you can do EVERYTHING in that time if you plan it right, and have a few days to rest in between. You'll need it, because it's so hot there, my poor english body was in shock and in need of a good swim.
  • thank you disney_cjd much appreciated
