    Any idea what would be the cheapest way of doing this? Visiting 2 of the parks for 2or3 days? Cheers

    The only ticket you could get for just 2 or 3 days at the Disney parks would be a 2 or 3-Day Magic Your Way ticket, which costs from $149-$212 for an adult ticket through Disney (there's their official ticket site Here). There are very few sites that can offer a discount on 2 or 3-day tickets and they are not on sale anywhere in the UK. However, try ticketmania.com, knowbeforeugo.com or orlandoinfo.com for a chance to price-match bona fide US ticket outlets.

    I bought these last year and printed them off at home, no problems entering either park - you don't need to exchange them for tickets at the parks either they have barcodes on and act as an entry ticket.

    Mornin All,
    Flyin into Tampa ,Going just off 192 marker 4, do i need change for toll roads (it will be the I4 ) and where can i get change .

    Nope, no tolls on that route if you avoid the 429 etc. Its a nice easy drive actually and well worth the savings of flying into tampa

    Craig

    ps, just seen Simon of the Brits Guide post, he hit it on the head

    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.

    Look back a few pages and you will see I did a long post explaining the new good ones.

    I've stayed on International Drive and enjoyed it, being the driver of the group we could walk to plenty of restaurants and pubs and not worry about having to drive the car.

    This year we will be staying in a villa and although i'll enjoy the luxury of a villa and not staying in a hotel i'll miss the availability of the restaurants and pubs being so close.

    Does anyone know if these tickets are just for this year or can they be used for next?

    Answering myself as I mailed Universal and they just got back. The deal is for anytime you start using it.
