Hi

Using a lot of the advice posted from this thread I am about to book 2 weeks in Forida from the 19 May 2010, a fab deal through BA!

However I wondered if anyone had any experience of the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Lake Buena Vista?

I also wondered if anyone knows when the Harry Potter Land will open at Universal?

Hi if you are looking for suggestions, I just stayed at the Omni resort at Champions Gate which is just off the I 4 and very close to the Disney Theme Parks. I got it through Priceline. It was fabulous with a lazy river, golf course - all very classy and in a quiet, safe area. Check it out on the Omni web site and look at all the pictures. It has about 4 pools. It must be 4+/5 star and I paid about £60. I had to go back after I had checked out as I had bought a house but the AC was not working and I was able to negotiate at the desk and get a lower price. It wasn't hugely busy so I think you can haggle a bit. Thought it was really good value and great for kids. Let me know if you need any mroe info.

At Disney, free dining is an amazing deal as it usually adds up to a lot.

On another note, can anyone get a Disney quote at cosmos as it doesn't seem to find any for me.

Thanks for that but i have seen a card you can by for £10.00, it says can be used at over 130 places

I think you mean the Orlando Kids Eat Free card....£10 and 1 child age 3-11

No idea how good it is, but if you were to use it 3-4 times it would more than pay for itself..

Its an OK card but you need onme for each kid and in my view its not the best choice of places to eat.

My kids are 7 and 5 and still often share a kids meal at the half decent places like outback, olive garden etc. Also many of the restaurants like Mannys or Lonestar do kids eat free nights anyway.

We just bought one for my 11 year old. Didnt get one last time we went and looking at the list of restaurants that it applies to, we KNOW we will save money.

Does anyone know of a good place just to buy Seaworld tickets?

Everywhere I look has them bundled with Aquatica tickets which makes the price for entry to Seaworld for 2 adults and 1 child for 1 day about £195 which is a little excessive.

Last time I bought them direct on the Seaworld website, but I can't see the option to buy them singlely there either.

Many thanks

Hi Lex try this link.

Pick the tickets up at Billy Bobs on the 192. Very reputable or have them sent to you but P&P is extra!!

Works fine for me- I put in August 13th for a week and it's brought up loads of resorts.

Are you trying winter dates, as I have a feeling Cosmos may not do holidays to FL then (only a feeling, happy to be wrong). If you put in a date it doesn't cover, it just says something ambiguous and unhelpful like "no holidays for your selected date" rather than "try four months later or earlier"
