    Pirates Dinner Show?

    I think it helped with us in that we went to the Pirates show very early on in our holiday and we enjoyed it. But compared to the quality of the Disney shows Pirates isn't that brilliant. We had a similiar effect with Universal, we did all the Disney parks before going to universal. I...

    Pirates Dinner Show?

    We went last year and had a very entertaining evening. It's perhaps a little on the expensive side (aren't they all?) but hey we were on holiday. They did a good job, nobody is going to win any oscars but we all found it a great laugh. There is a lot worse (Arabian nights), I'm quite...

    Travel City Direct

    Hi, We used Travel City Direct last year but we didn't use one of their own package deals They made up a package for us that included flights via United Airlines (I wanted more leg room). The whole thing for 5 adults and 2 children cost just over £1,400.00 less than the equivalent...

    legroom

    I guess that if you're flying in international and then transferring to domestic then you would expect to go through customs and that you would need your luggage with you, so probably yes you'll have the same. I hadn't considered this when we booked our flights but it worked out fine.

    legroom

    We fly into Washington and cleared customs there so we did have to collect our baggage first. Once through customs there was a collection point where our bags where taken from us to be put on the domestic connection to MCO. The only thing to do then was "check-in" at the desk near the...

    Villa's

    Did anyone mention TravelCity Direct http://www.travelcity.co.uk If your looking at Virgin then Travel City Direct should be cheaper for the same location/options.

    legroom

    We flew United and they were excellent, 34" pitch seats, good food and free in-flight drinks. We went via Washington. The Co-Pilot and most of the cabin staff seemed to be English. It was also interesting to see the vast difference in quality/presentation between trans-Atlantic and...

    Nickelodeon Studios

    Before our visit this February I emailed Nic. studios (via the uk website) about schedules and tickets. They couldn't/wouldn't give me any schedule info but they did give me a local phone number to ring when we were in Orlando. As for tickets they said it was first come first served on the...

    Seaworld entry with Discovery Cove tickets?

    Hi, Our DC visit was in the middle of our holiday. We checked first at DC on how to get our free 7-day Seaworld passes. We were told to go to seaworld and show our DC booking info (email) at Seaworld guest relations and they gave us seven day passes. Having (been to and) got our DC...

    Discovery Cove Video

    There seems to be a bit of variation on the length of video of individuals dolphin encounters. Is it because of the size of the group? We had 5 of us in a group of 7 and we had about 20mins (from memory haven't watch it lately) of video of us after the D.C. bit. We also had my Dad...

    Cash Machines

    I used my delta card (visa) and all/most ATM's gave me the choice of Credit card transaction or cheque account transaction (or words to that effect). The credit card trans. carried a cash advance fee the the other option didn't seem to. The exchange rate/commision fee seemed quite good for...

    Dvd Question

    Check out your local Asda or Tesco, There are some very cheap players that play every type of disc (CD-R, DVD-R etc) and some have remote control enabled region-free hacks (no internal mod's required). You'll have to investigate first obviously. i.e. find out what's availiable and then...

    Discovery Cove - Video

    My father didn't do the dolphin encounter so he video all the rest of us , but the D.C. people seemed very fussy about where he could video from. He got some good shots but was too far away to pick up our conversations whilst dolphining. The official video completely missed my daughters hug...

    Theme Park Tickets

    Hi, We waited and brought over there but didn't find any great bargains. You can beat the Gate prices by around 5-10% by using some of the larger ticket (tourist information) shops. If you're prepared to go to a timeshare presentation you can get very cheap tickets. A friend of my did...

    Highlands reserve villas.

    Hi, We stayed at a Highlands Reserve villa in Feb. Its about 20 minutes from the parks , down on highway 27. But the villa was great and the area very quiet. That end of the 192 is less busy and not so cheap'n'nasty as the eastern side.

    Once in a lifetime?

    Once in a lifetime?

    Having taken our first Orlando holiday in Feb , I thought we would do it and that would be that but guess what ? we're talking about going again! I wondered how many of us started out taking a once in a lifetime holiday over and over again??
