Another Question, post 12 (sorry!)

[Mnementh]

I noticed that Orlando has a couple of airports, so I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the name and three-letter airport code of the one that's closest to WDW and Universal? Thanks!

MCO (Orlando International) is the closest, the biggie!



The Sanford, FL airport is to the east and much smaller.

Okay, thanks!

Oh, I thought of one more question, if you don't mind helping again. I know that the parks open well before the check-in times of the hotels. Do any hotels that you know of have places to store luggage prior to check-in so that you can visit the parks?

If you are staying on Disney property the answer is yes.

You can always call the hotel you are book at to find out. Some do some don't. If you stay on disney property the magical express bus (not really express lol) will take you to your hotel for free. If staying at another hotel you will will have to find transportation. If you go over the the transportation part of dis they will have prices and suggestions.

Ah is it the big airport with all the hotel room things? At night when there was lights it looked awesome it is huge

 

[Mnementh]

Cool. Thanks for your help

the time of year your going mint, I bet your room will be ready very early in the morning

but yeah they will hold your luggage if it isnt ready

 

[BusyBeaBee]

yes your luggage will get there eventually with magical express
but
we went one time in October and got in around 7pm, went straight to the parks for late magic hours.
we got to our rooms at 1 AM and you guessed it NO BAGS
took them an hour to get our bags to us!!!!!
It has never happened since, yet it boggles the mind that the bags were not in our rooms because we checked into the hotel ( contemporary) prior to going to Magic Kingdom!!
so , after the long story above , take a carry on with all the "essentials"

and have a great time

Thanks again

Well, due to some problems, there has been a change of plans and I'm now getting that 7 day, 2 park pass to Universal, since it's really cheap. But I do intend on stopping over at WDW for one night to go see MNSSHP. I've never been before. Is it fun?

And even though I won't be staying at a Disney hotel, I found out that they'll still hold the bags, thank goodness.

MNSSHP is so much fun, make sure you bring a fun costume to wear while you are at the park, we went and i had made great pirate costumes and it was a blast!!

Okay, one more question. I posted this on the "Theme Parks Attractions and Strategies" forum, but no one seemed to fully understand what I was asking and I don't even know if that was the forum I was SUPPOSED to post the question on. I'll explain this as thoroughly as I can so that there's less confusion than there was in the other forum.

If you go up to the top of the Disboards page and click the link that says "tickets", it takes you to a page that lists all the possible packages for WDW, from 1 night to 10 nights. Over on the far right, if you are buying tickets for 3-10 days, there's a "Buy" button in the discount column. I was looking for a 3-day ticket with park hopper option, so I clicked the "buy" button in the discount column next to that option. When I clicked that, it took me to another page that re-listed all the options, along with descriptions of each one. I scrolled down to the 3-day ticket with park hopper option. Am I making sense so far?

Okay, so my question is when I found the option I was looking for, it said "3-day hopper with 4th and 5th days free". Now, does that mean FREE free, or is there some catch? And if it really does mean FREE free, why is there an option to purchase a 4 day pass and get the fifth day free? Why get one free day when you can get two?
