Orlando Florida/Disneyworld (Part 2) *CLOSED*

essexmate

I've been to Universal before using the 14-day Flexitickets so on our next trip we will only be visiting Universal theme parks for 2-3 days and have been looking at getting the cheaper 2-park/2 day Universal Orlando.

Whilst searching for prices I came across an unusual ticket option at lastminute.com offering Universal 2-park Unlimited (valid for 7 consecutive days use) for £47.

Has anyone else used lastminute.com for orlando tickets or bought this ticket option? I can't find it advertised at any of the other usual ticket sites (atd, themeparkticketsdirect, etc).

The price for 7 days seems too good to be true????

Hi there

I've not used lastminute for tickets but that price is about right for a Universal 2 park 7 day ticket. They have, over the last few years, sold variations on a theme of "Buy 2 days admission, get 5 days free" which is what's above. When we bough this in August 06 we paid $99 per adult (kids went free 1 per adult) for 7 days which is roughly what you've quoted above.

I don't understand why the popular ticket sites like attraction-tickets-direct and themeparkticketsdirect don't offer this type of ticket. They all seem to be offering a more expensive 2-park/2-day with 3rd day free option. Why aren't they selling this 7-day unlimited ticket?

Hi, we are considering going to Florida late next year and would prefer to book things seperately (hopefully makes it cheaper ) does anybody know of any reputable websites where we could look at booking a house / villa for a fortnight ?

First time Ive ever done it so bit nervous of messing up and getting conned.

Many thanks

why not look in your local paper i am sure there are some advertised in their and that way you can go to the owners house meet them know where they live etc .. any problems then you go back and deal face to face. I have rented several times but a few years back now and i would recommend this way of staying there, especially if you have a private pool the kids willl love it.

Broadway travel HERE have quite a good Florida section, they are ABTA and ATOL members. I have used them and they were very reasonable. They tend to allocate on arrival, so you wont know the exct villa you are staying in until you arrive in Florida but you cant really go wrong.

There is also the option of renting direct from the owners and there are many websites you can trawl through looking for that special place to stay.

Hi all - looking for some help....

Some friends booked a while back to Orlando and they got a good deal with Travelcitydirect.com We are wanting to go and join them and I need some help looking for cheap flights (if they exist!)

The only criteria is we need to be in Orlando anytime between the 27th Sept 08 and 11 Oct 08 which is when they are there! We live in Newcastle but will travel from any airport and it would be for two adults.....

Cheers in advance!

You should be able to get something reasonable at that time of year

What's your budget?

there are lots of agents and lots of private hire villa websites. as someone mentioned ask around. we have two ads on our canteen wall with staff who have villas to let.
