    Aquatica worth it?

    I agree with previous comments. Theming is better at Disney but Aquatica is better for fun. They have been steadily adding rides over the years which equals newer rides and more rides. Roa's Rapids is the best. Haven't made it to Volcano Bay so I can't comment.

    Questions with UT Tickets, Ultimate Rewards Tickets, Seasonal Passes & APs

    What if we use the tickets and upgrade after they stop selling the tickets? Sale ends Feb.12. If we use them in April will we be credited current April prices for the upgrade?

    $30 Legoland tickets--is this for real???

    I just bought tickets and the date on the ticket reads "Event" instead of the actual date I chose. For those that have purchased, does that sound right?

    Best resorts for townhouse/villa rental?

    Vista Cay is a 10 minute drive to Disney. If you are not staying on property is there really a benefit of being closer? 10 minutes is nothing and you are located in the center of all attractions Disney/Sea World/universal and shopping.

    Vista Cay or Seven Dwarfs?

    There is a smaller pool on that side as well but no club house. You would have to walk or drive to the main club house.

    Vista Cay or Seven Dwarfs?

    There is no way it takes 29 minutes. I have timed it. It took 15 minutes from getting into the car to getting out of the car at Magic Kingdom. Vista Cay is off Universal Blvd right next to I4. It is a easy drive. Orlando traffic is unpredictable. I have seen it congested at odd times of...
