    They should do. They used to sell the PAL compatible VHS in days gone by. Mind you, dependant on your friend's dvd player, it could be a region free model in which case, most disks will play anyway without worry.

    Or the DVD player can be unlocked very easily via a code.

    I have a price for Aug 2010 12-26th flying direct with Virgin, staying at Disneys deluxe Saratoga Springs resort with free disney dining and park tickets - £3963 2 adults and 1 child.

    I want to fly direct, the discount offer with Saratoga Springs ends on the 15th July but I can't check flight only prices with VA until Sept for Aug and no guarantees that they will be cheaper anyway.

    At the moment the price I have been quoted beats any DIY I can do for the same accom and flights.

    Does it seem ok, or will VA prices for next Aug be much cheaper adult flight is £692 and child £597 in the quote I was given.

    Much more affordable especially as I doubt people will spent 14 days at Universal theme parks compared to Disney.

    It looks a good price to me. You would spend approx £600 to get two weeks for Disney Parks, not too sure how much in dining you will save. We booked our Florida holiday to travel half term this October and the prices rose quite a bit just a few weeks after we booked. In my experience the earlier you book the cheaper the price.

    Hi
    Firstly thanks for tips when we last posted. We have now booked!!!!!! going later this year to port orleans (thanks karen G we couldnt get FQ but PO with dining plan looks fab)
    Have another question we are going to rent a mobility scooter, have booked bog standard car hire via virgin knowing we will have to upgrade. but to what? have asked virgin and they dont seem to know, they suggested a people carrier! we will need a hatch back, I assume with back seats that fold down. wont need a mega car as only 2 of us and dont think suitcases will be in at same time as scooter. In the uk a folding/dismantled scooter fits in a meduim car with seats down. I recall the cars were bigger when we went before but I think they had boots as apposed to hatchbacks.
    thanks

    I can't answer your question, but I did want to say that Port Orleans is lovely - did you want a room nearish to the main areas? If yes I think Bldg 14 is a good one to request (not 100% though so if you are interested I will check!)

    Great choice :)
