    Hi guys, I am soon going to orlando. We weren't planning to visit Disney originally but have now decided we may go to MGM and Magic Kingdom for a couple of days. Any idea what would be the cheapest way of doing this? Visiting 2 of the parks for 2or3 days? Cheers

    You sir are an idiot.

    I hold my hands up. I am.

    I (courtesy of a good friend Stella) completely misread your post and somehow thought you was on about Disney tickets.

    I am sorry.

    Its actually a cracking deal, I just compared the cost of purchasing this ticket and the three park ticket off the Seaworld site which gives Seaworld, Aquatica and Busch Gardens and comes out $55.00 less than an Orlando Flex Ticket Plus (which you need for Busch Gardens), admittedly you don't get Wet & Wild but you've still got the newer Aquatica to go to, will be booking this soon I think.

    Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    Does anyone know where to get cheap car hire ? Usually get it from Alamo through expeida for 16 days at about £270. However, this year it is £490. I kno the pound has dropped, but that seems way too steep.

    Netflights are doing £260 through thrifty, but have been warned off them - any ideas guys ?

    Cheers.

    We usually use usrentacar, especially for the Florida area. Depends what type of car you're looking at, but 8 days on a compact are around £150, so 16 days will be around £300.

    Yes, it does seem a bit more expensive than last year, but that is solely down to the 20% loss in value of the good old £££

    Hi,
    Just been doing a search for orlando Flexi ticket. The cheapest was from a company called - 'NewSound - Your online Discount Superstore' at 122 pounds.
    This seems a bit too good to be true. Has anyone else purchased from these?

    http://www.universalorlando.com/tickets.html - it's a cracking deal. Mikepcon says above that he has purchased them and printed them off so you should be fine.
