Thankyou for posting such an eye-opening thread and welcome to the DIS! I was going to say if you want any help, please ask away, but you seem like a pretty clued up kind of DISer already. Have fun here and try not to get too addicted (if thats possible)

Hi Kelly ,

I take it your staying at the Quality Inn Plaza?

Another thing to watch out for, Kelly, is whether the sites charge for postage or for using a credit card. These charges can affect the prices when making comparisons (as I found out).

 

[kellyglv]

Yes - I see you have been before - thumbs up or thumbs down?

Can't speak for the others, but cheapest-park-tickets charge a few percent for using credit cards and postage goes from free for 14 day delivery.

I used my debit card (free) and 14 day postage. Tickets turned up in under a week though.

As the prices for Discovery Cove went up on several websites as the dates I wanted got nearer, I ended up booking direct via Discovery Cove website and along with taxes it ended up at £150 including the 7 day at Seaworld/Busch Gardens.

Welcome to the boards Kelly - always good to have another Norn Ironer onboard!! (I used to live in Carnmoney but now live in Scotland).

Good work on the tickets - what did you end up going for?

 

[kellyglv]

How could you leave Beverly Shops to move to Scotland!!! Only joking!!

Haven't actually purchased yet as this year the in-laws are coming along and they have never been before. They want to weigh up all the options, where we know exactly what we are going for. My kids are 13,7 & 3 so we have to make sure we cover all parks to get something for them all.

Cool - hope you get sorted out! And you answered your own question!! Goodness me - Beverly shops indeed!

Your not a Ballyclare High man are you?

Your not a Ballyclare High man are you?

Oh dear God the shame!! No I went to one of those big bad Belfast schools (BRA). I was through Ballyclare last weekend - was home for the Cup Final supporting the mighty Larne (don't mention the score!)

 

[kellyglv]

At least you made it to the cup final - I seen two of the worst games of the season when the Ports knocked out the Glens in the semis - had to make do with winning the Irish League instead!!

 

[maleficent_man]

Oh no!! And a Glens fan!! (at least you like Disney!!!)

Hello Kelly

I notice that you stayed at Holiday Inn International Drive in 2003, we have booked to stay there this christmas, can you tell me your opinions on it?

Thanks

Hi Sharon,

We were there in May 2003 and were in the smaller block, not the main tower. The location on I-Drive is good, the pool was good, but we found the rooms a bit dated - they could have done with a freshen up. I did not see into any of the rooms in the tower block, but found the smaller block great for access to the pool. Plenty of parking spaces - really enjoyed the holiday.

This year we are going to the Quality Inn Plaza - wanted to try the other end of I-drive.

Thanks for that Kelly, much appreciated.
