    For anyone requiring attraction tickets I highly recommend http://www.orlandoattractions.com/
    Ordered Disney 4 day base tickets plus 2 extra days free for £158.09 per adult and £132.67 per child. Placed the order on Sunday and they arrived Wednesday via special delivery. Actual tickets and not vouchers.

    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

    Thanks for the car tips guys. Part of me is saying to hell with the car, as for the first week im staying on international drive and theres plenty of transfers to all the theme parks, right!?!?

    And the second week im staying at lake buena vista, where again has transfers a-plenty. I would save myself quite a lot of money doing this I guess! Has anybody else done this frequently, and have you had any trouble with NOT hiring a car?

    Paul

    Many will say take a car and many will say you do not need one. A while ago there was a big-ish thread on here about that.

    The upshot and my many years of Florida experience tell me that you of course do not need a car and can have a great holiday without one. A car does allow you an extra bit of freedom and if you have kids I would probably say its worth it BUT if it your first time or its a large expense then really do not think twice about not having one.

    Thanks, really appreciate your honesty. I think I'll skip the car and with the cash we save that will probably pay for a set of disney tickets or something similar! I'll be fine with the shuttles as they seem very frequent so should be fine!

    We are considering going to the Arabian Knights dinnershow. The prices online from UK companies seem much cheaper than I could get direct. However we may have left it too late to have tickets delivered as we are off on Wednesday. Phoned one UK company who reported they could email the reseration and when we arrive in Florida we can phone up and book a night. Has anyone do this and is it trouble free. Alternatively can I pick up tickets using easy to get discount leaflets for the same amount over there?

    Also thinking about going to Tampa against the Yankees. How easy to get to St Petersburg and is there much to do for the kids there
    Thanks

    No, you don't have to pay, go to the US Embassy website and follow the links from there and it's fee.
    Moving onto a better place...Ciao :wave:

    Has anyone purchased Orlando attraction tickets from Pillinger World Travel?
    They appear to be available at a good price however I want to be sure I am getting brand new tickets and not pre-used tickets with days left on them!
    If you are able to advise then please let me know!!!


    I haven't used them myself, but there are a lot of (positive) comments on them on The Dibb boards. Also, Charter Travel in Newbury if you are looking for tickets. It is definitely worth looking at the comments on The Dibb.:rotfl:
