Orlando Florida/Disneyworld (Part 2) *CLOSED*

Mutton_Geoff

There is a stretch of road as you leave Miami airport to go north to Fort Lauderdale that is a Sunpass lane costing 25 cents. There is no option to pay cash as it's all electronic.

Talking about Tolls stay off the Turnpike. Orlando - Miami - Orlando is about $40

We used the electronic pass with Budget last year and the bill came into my credit card. Certainly never paid $2-50 a day the final charges were just over $4, and we had the car for 29 days.. And it was better than that bloody klaxon going off when we never had enough change.

lol......the klaxon went off when we had just arrived in 2006, we did put enough change in though, and the klaxon came on, lights flashing, we didnt know what the hell to do, so we just drove off, waiting for a policeman to come find us....lol......

A lot will depend on the state of the dollar. But the recession may even hit Disney. Remember the tickets you can get delivered in a week. Very unlikely they will go up between now and October. So hang on!!

Hi all,
just a quick heads up, were going to Orlando in May this yr and I have been checking out some prices.

For Disney tickets the cheapest places i found are -
http://www.pillingerworldtravel.co.uk/attraction_tickets.asp

and
http://www.best4usa.com/attraction_tickets.asp

both are vouchers (not tickets) but these are easily changed to tickets when you get over there. One site is cheaper for one ticket and the other for the others - so its a matter of seeing what tye of ticket you want and comparing them - you do have to ring up to order them, dont worry though cos the staff are dead helpful.

For Busch Gardens the cheapest place seems to be the Busch Gardens website -
http://www.buschgardens.com/Bgt/Tickets/Visitors.aspx

the're doing a buy 1 day get another day free ticket for $59.95 - this is also discounted cos there doing it at the adult price for the cost of the child price.
If you want to add seaworld its $89.95 but at todays exchange rate its cheaper to use Pillingerworld cos there doin Busch Gardens and Seaworld for £59 (and there ticket gives 14 unlimited access)

For Universal - again Pllingerworld seems cheapest at £67 for 2 park access (which again gives 14 days unlimited access)

For Kennedy space center - Best4usa seems to be cheapest at £23 for the Max access pass.

And lastly on both Pllinger and Best 4usa there are lots of days out, excursions etc

Hope this helps!!!

Bobby9205. Whilst I agree with you on many posts and threads on MSE I have not found it so on here! I have found this thread very informative and helpful The same as the Las Vegas thread. And there are several people on this thread who go out of their way to be helpful.
Disney is a big place an expensive place where still the most expensive commodity is time and if anyone knows or comes up with an idea its always been welcomed here, by the majority of people.
All postings are welcome and read by a lot of members, so hopefully no one is deterred from posting whether to ask a question or to post some information that THEY think might be helpful.

Now back to money saving, pls lets not detract from the point of this thread.

You mean like you just did with the unjust rant at this so far unranted on thread???:rolleyes:
I personally thought you're original post was really useful (thanks for that) but saying all that at the end ruined the tone of your whole posting. Why do something like rant (your choice of wording) about other people ranting, it just doesn't make sence!
