their prices are more expensive than the gate price

All of the Disney one day passes are more expensive when not brought at the gate. Mapleleaf, Kissimmee, Orlando cvb, but depends if £2-50 is worth not waiting in queues. But ticketmania post to the uk free!

The first time I went to see the rodent was in the early 80's I was told then get the biggest Disney ticket you can becuase they are going up in price quicker than Gold!! Proved to be true. And most people go back, often!!!:beer:

Could anyone recommend an airport hotel which can provide 14 days car parking and accommodate a family of five? Most that I have found only sleep four in the family rooms, and the alternative is staying further out and using their complimentary transport which I have had bad experience of, particularly on return to UK when tired and just wanting to get home.

Many thanks!

Came home this Saturday 3rd May after an exhausting but enjoyable trip,Went with Travel city Direct, they were very helpful, apart from the Plane home I would have felt safer in a tiger moth,the plane was really cramped and small if you were over 6ft tall you, it was standing room only as sitting was really uncomfortable,We were only offered complimentry drinks twice on the whole flight which included an hour stop in Halifax Canada to refuel,,Thought it was travel city direct not travel city stop over in the middle of the night, As for the villa v hotel I would recommend a villa every time now.I have 4 kids they all had their own room and bathroom ,our own heated pool so no one got under anyones feet as happens in hotel rooms,I had a hotel room in 2000 but only had 1 small child then,so that was still a good option for the smaller family.The car rental with by dollar with sat nav was also great,although the voice on the sat nav was sometimes difficult to understand for example if you were heading for somewhere DRIVE the sat nav would display somewhere DR and the voice would say somewhere Doctor, but once again sat nav was very useful as most of the main attractions are programmed in. PLEASE AVOID THE PIRATE DINNER SHOW IT IS AWFUL $60 adults $44 kids a lot of money for awful food and really weak beer plus the food comes while the show is on so you miss most of it while trying to eat,also the waitress kept dissappearing to be part of the show,they then suggest a tip you should give $5 per adult $3 per child.Purchased most of my tickets from ebay which wasnt a great idea as 5 out of the 6 tickets i purchased were not valid when i got to the parks,although when i took these to the guest relations they were changed for brand new ones,But please beware. I did purchase my tickets in america as I got a big discount,but this did involve a 3 hour timeshare meeting which we were unaware at the time, but all in all it was a great saving, Parking in all the parks cots between $11-15 a day so if you can get a parking permit for your whole duration it would be worth it. Food generally was pretty cheap all over, but I must mention a place we found by chance called Mannys Chop house its located on highway 27South off exit 55 I 4 West if you type in Mannys in google take a look it does the best ribs steak I have ever tasted kids eat free on Mondays and Tuesdays,It get busy and you might have to wait a little while for a table,but my god its worth the wait. If anyone wants any more advice please dont hesitate to ask. HAVE A GOOD TRIP WE DID

Hey guys!

Ive been to Orlando countless times, and I LOVE it! Anyone considering it as a distination should take the plunge!

I will be going AGAIN this year, to do a Skydiving course!! (one of the best and cheapest places to do it!). My plan is to go for 10-14 days, splitting time between the sky-diving course, the beach, and the parks. Im aiming to go after the summer holidays and most of the ankle-biters have gone back to school! I will put together my own package, with seperate flights, car hire, and hotels at different locations around Florida and Orlando.

* Flights seem to be fairly expensive around end of September/October when i thought they would be cheaper. Should I hang around for sales/discounts? Do Virgin/BA do any sales for around this time of year? Any other advice? Im 100% flexible on dates at the moment.

* I only want to do the "adult parks", mainly Universal/IOD, a water park and maybe Epcot (not been there for YEARS!). What is the cheapest Universal hotel to get the fast pass? Any tricks/tips to get a cheap 1 day Disney ticket?

* One Tip! Bar: Howl at the Moon at Universal Walk. Amazing dueling pianos and electic atmosphere. Adults only, obviously

Guys Im planning on going to florida for 2-weeks NEXT Sept or October. Do I book now (fly drive for about £600 each for two adults) or do I wait until next year and face potential price rises? I know its 18months away, but want to get the best possible price! Flying from london or manchester, whichever is fine with me! Any ideas?

Sit through a time share presentation for an hour and a half and you should get a free 2 day ticket, friends did that recently.
