You have done it, print a copy for your records then forget all about it. You don't need anything at the US Border. They will know if you have applied or not.

If you are of a paranoid disposition then take your proof but you won't need it.

Easy really - made difficult by all the sensationalist media. Far better than those stupid green forms if you ask me.

Actually at the moment you still need those green forms as well.

Any Disney ticket experts?

We are heading to Florida in August for 21 days. We are staying at Disney so will be buying 21 day ultimate tickets but we were looking at best options for other tickets. Last time we bought 14 day flex tickets but didn't feel as if we got full value.

Hoping to do
Discovery Cove.
Seaworld (1/2 days)
Aquatica
IOA (2 days)
Universal Studios (2 days)

Can anyone recommend best ticket options? We will need to buy 4 adult tickets as both children over 10.

They did when i last flew to the US early Jan, but i thought they would be phased out by Feb at the latest. Needless to say i am in the US for a few days next month so will report back if they are still using them then.

All Some strong opinions have been voiced which of course is the whole point of these forums and also people have different views, again the points of these forums, but no one is ever correct if its there opinion its just a view. Calling people muppets for not driving is not rally on, just because you take a car. Same thing goes for those of you who refuse to drive, you need to see the bigger picture. There are so many different types of holidays to have in Florida and it appeals to many different types of folks who like different things. I think you can easily spend 14, 21, 10 or 7 days purely inn Disney its not just Theme Parks Strull as you know there are lots of activities to do from horse riding, to watchin g baseball to driving about in Indy cars. Budgets and requirement to sit on ones rear and rest all dictate what kind of holiday you want But if you are just after the theme parks then of course these can be done in five good days and then you have th rest of this fabulous state to enjoy and whilst you can get a bus to Busch Gardens or the Space Centre a car gives you more freedom. My point is (you will be glad to hear there is a point) is that you can enjoy Florida with a car and you can enjoy it without one. You do not have to drive, if you do you may see more yes but you may also be quite happy on the Lynx or Disney transport, mears or just chilling. the current Mrs CJD and I have done Florida many times without a care before we had a house and before she had the confidence to drive (I can not drive as I am partially sighted) and it never affect us. You pick your locations (and we stayed on and off property) and you do what you want. So if you dont want to drive. Do not stress over it as you wont enjoy it. What Dazza, Strull and lrr have all said is that driving is easy over there and gives you choice BUT do not you need to as you can have a ball without the car Cheers

A good post and one from someone who i know has the relevant experience to make such a point.

However lets not cloud this over, it can be done without a car and an amazing holiday will still no doubt be had. But the reality is you would be better off with a car.
Thats a simple truth.

life would be boring if we all did the same thing

your holiday

your choice how to enjoy it anyway you wish!

I was talking to my sister about driving in the US a while ago, she used to live there and said she found driving in the US easy because the car is set up for driving on the opposite side of the road, and you automatically follow the flow of traffic.

I have only driven in Europe, and even using a car set up for driving in Britain, I didn't find it hard.

Its easy, look out the window and remember whatever country you are in - you are always sat next to the centre line of the road.
