    Let them know when you chck into Citrico's (or even before, you can ask them to note it on your ADR). There are no guarantees, but you may get some extra attention and a small surprise :)

    yes defo

    You can also do lots of different things such as get the room decorate at the hotel etc.

    Hopefully this link will work but it will take you to the Disney website that lists all the wonderful things you can do

    Hi toddy226.
    The dates are 12th to 28th October, flying from Manchester. I appreciate that not going the direct route is cheaper, but as it is with a small one I didn't really want the hassle.
    Will check Tampa though, forgot about that!

    Hi Lan the cheapest i found was £288 Adult £270 child with Airfrance from Manchester(actualy flying with Delta into Atlanta then into Tampa) or £400 adult £362 child with BA via Gatwick into Tampa

    7 Days entry into either Universal parks for £69.30, runs out 7days after 1st use. Any body found cheaper ? As the pound = Dollar changes so does the price

    Thanks toddy and craig for your help on this. I know it is pretty steep, didn't realise how much. Does TCD still do flydrive packages does anybody know? Also would we be better off waiting to see if VA prices come down (know sometimes they have a sale), or do you think if we don't book soon there will be no flights left?

    Have just booked theme park tickets with virginholidays but I am now panicing that I have not booked the right ones.

    Have book 5 day premium tickets which the rep said would give us 14days unlimited access to the 4 main parks + 5 days to water parks. Also we could hop between parks if we wanted. Is this correct? The virgin website seems to imply that you only get 5 days in the parks. Help:confused: .

    We are probably only going to go the WDW main parks for 5 full days but we may go to one of them again late afternoon for the nighttime parade.

    I did ask the lady a couple of times to clarify the difference between the premium and unltimate and she said the only difference was that the unltimate allowed you to go the waterparks unlimited amounts of time during the 14 days where as the 5 day premium you could only go for 5 days in total.

    Help would be really appreciated to put my mind at rest:rolleyes:

    aitch-aitch - you are right. The 5 day premium ticket gives you 5 days in the 4 main parks, with hopping, PLUS 5 visits to the water parks/DisneyQuest/World Wide.Wide World of Sports.

    The 14 day Ultimate Ticket gives you 14 days access, with hopping, to all the parks.

    http://www.orlando-ticket-deals.co.uk/tickets/5-7-day-magic-your-way-premium-disney.html explains it better, IMO, than the table of VH's site.

    Edit - just thought I'd mention about the plus visits. It is visits not days. So if you go to Blizzard Beach in the morning and Typhoon Lagoon in the afternoon that will be 2 plusses deducted from your ticket.

    The 14 day unlimited access is misleading in that its any five days in the parks over a 14 day period plus another five days when you can visit the water parks so in total you have 10 days out of 14 days. You can park hop with them so in one of the days that you decide to use them to visit a park you can visit all four parks in the one day.

    We bought the Unlimited...

    Does that mean we can't visit a park every day? Just for 5 days out of 14?
