    I am looking for disney tickets orlando.

    I have been looking at the "magic your way plus" tickets
    If I buy a 7 day magic your way plus tickets does that mean I have 7 days at disney/mgm/epcot/ak etc PLUS an additional 7 days on top of that at water parks.

    For example I could go 7 days in a row to the magic kingdom (NOT THAT I WOULD WANT TO) then go to 7 water parks all within the 14 time expiration all for the 7 day pass ?

    or does the 7 day ticket include days used at water park as the same as a visit the the magic kingdom

    Any thoughts ?

    Its the 5/7 day UK Premium ticket that you want rather than the Magic Your Way tickets. The Premium ticket enables you to park hop so you could visit all four parks in the one day which counts as only 1 day used but if you go to a water park on the same day then you have used 2 days, 14 day expiry from the first day of use. Have a read of this...

    I'm looking at getting a combined Busch Gardens + Sea World ticket. My parents are travelling with myself and my wife and 2 children.

    Is it possible for my wife and I to take the kids to busch and then for them to go with grandparents to sea world all on the same tickets ? We all have the same surname .

    Of course, this is not entirely in the spirit of these multi-park tickets, but hey, why not? :rolleyes:

    From the research I have done for our first venture into Florida I know Disney have a finger scan linked to each ticket (Or group of tickets if all bought at the same time, so I believe) so it would not be possible for there, but as far as I am aware (and could be VERY wrong) this is not the case at seaworld et al. The kids could still use their tickets anyhow and at worst, the grandparents would have to pay for themselves.

    Going in June this year and a few of us are in our 20s and would like to go out to a bar/club one night. Does anyone have any recommendations?

    Go to CityWalk for the more expensive upper market clubs or head to Old Town for the cheap bars and cheesy music/karaokes.

    you could check www.thedibb.co.uk which is a Disney related site. There is a section where Dibbers advertise their villas and they have been checked to ensure that all is ok with ownership etc

    HTH

    Hi

    the dibb villa site is a paid advertising site just liek villa rentals. ITs a Disney fan site and whilst the people on there are real you can shout if it all goes pete tong but I do not think they are vetted fiirst so as always cavet emptor :)

    Anyone ever flown into Tampa, if so what is it like?

    we do this at least once a yeat as its normally a lot cheaper. you are an extra 30 mins aways from orlando but as only one flight arrives there at the time the BA one does and so you are out quicker and offslki

    And yes Stu its lovelya ccess for CLearwater

    Also if you are looking at Tampa you can always fly into it then out of Orlando, just use Kayak or BA multicity option to see the prices

    Cheers

    Hey guys,

    Was hoping to spend a week in Florida - any date so long as we can be experience the July 4th celebrations. Was hoping to go with the wifey and check out Disneyworld, Busch Gardens, Seaworld.

    Any cheap deals out there? I'm getting returned some super heavy rates of £800+

    Is it better to get a package deal from a tour operator?
    Is it better to book flights and accomodation seperately?
    Should I stay in a hotel or is an apartment cheaper?
    Is a week long enough to do all the above?
    Should I book tockets to all the attractions before I go? If so, where?

    I was hoping to get a decent/well reviewed (4 star) hotel near all the attractions we want to go to for under £1000. Am I asking for too much here?

    Thanks guys,
