Thanks for that.:beer: I'd seen that website before but hadn't seen the flexi tickets. Has anyone dealt with them before, are they reputable?

I would like to know that too.

Also I was wondering if there was a cheaper way than a flex ticket given that we're not interested in Busch Gardens or Wet n Wild (having been to both before) and Discovery Cove gives free entry to Seaworld. Was wondering what ticket options could get for Universal / IOA and how much for one day to Aquatica - or whether we should get the Discovery Cove tickets that provide entry to Aquatica and seaworld? it's a baffling decision!

Mind you this is a pretty good price

Would definitely like to know if anyone's bought tickets from here before!

Plus this is over £50 per person cheaper than everywhere else - wonder what the catch is?

No not yet, I'm still in the process of saving up for tickets.

I think I might be worried that it's too good to be true!

I have the ticket money saved but I'm too bewildered by prices and websites to buy any yet. How I managed last time I haven't a clue!

Anyone been to Orlando and gone to the Everglades - either driving down, or as part of an excursion - the tours I have found all seem to include alligator or snake handling shows - butt hat's not what we're after.

DH just wants to see a bit of the Everglades, and have a ride on an airboat (like the wee boy had in Gentle Ben!!:o )

Anyone got any suggestions?

lol, I thought I had it sorted....we're going for 2 weeks so if I was getting the flexi plus, I decided that the 7 day ticket for disney would be plenty as it gives 7 days of theme parks plus another 7 of the water parks and other things but........then after fiver29's post, the 14 day ticket is about the same price so that's me confused again until I know how good this company is

Hello
This is my first post so I hope its in the right place. i am taking my son who is 11 to Orlando on 29th March. I am trying to work out what kind of budget we will need for each day our flights, tickets and hotel are all paid for? I am not using a car while there but hoping that public transport on I.Drive will be ok to enable us to get to all the parks.
All help appreciated I have already ordered a guide book and found other useful tips on this forum so thanks in advance!

Everytime i go.

Sod the tours get in the car, down the turnpike to the 41 West. Along there you have loads of places that do the airboat thing.

I always go to Gator Park where its about $15 per adult for the boat, zoo and croc wrestling.

we are looking at maybe port orleans (river boat to downtown disney looks good) caribbean beach (beach sounds good) or coronado springs (mexican food sounds yummy) ie cant afford luxury but pop and all stars look very child orientated for two adults. Does this sound sensible? sept/oct/nov 09. Dining plan would save us shopping and cooking which we have done prevously but now would just like to go to parks and if we want to chill be able to do so by "nipping back to hotel " or relaxing over food.

Hi there

I've stayed at Port Orleans and Caribbean Beach and of the two I would suggest Port Orleans, probably French Quarter as it is smaller and thus easier to get around if you are less mobile. The only snag then is that French Quarter doesn't have a "sit down" restaurant, just a food court. All being equal though this may suit you better?

I think you have missed the chance to get the dining plan for free for this year unfortunately - September would have been one of the times you could have got it free.

I think I would agree that Pop & All Stars may suit you less well though I do love them myself, on a child free holiday if your budget allows the Port Orleans French Quarter would get my vote (ask for a room near the main section).

The boat to DTD is a definite bonus. I can't remember though if you can go on them with an ECV? I can't recall that I saw anyone with one on them, so please do check that out further.

Yeah thats the one i mean- at Tusker House....Thanks...

we have booked 15 nights, so we should get 15 table services, is that right?

Yes you will get 15 if you have 15 nights

Getting to Tusker House at Animal Kingdom is much easier for you than getting to the Animal Kingdom Lodge - there will be direct buses from your resort to Animal Kingdom every 15 minutes or so
