Do you bring the entire Entertainment book?

[frannn]

I'm debating on just bringing the card and some of the coupons from the Orlando book, along with the respective menus. I don't want to miss out on using some of the other offers, though. Do you usually bring the entire Entertainment book, then maybe leave it in the hotel room drawer for the next person? We are going in Oct and the book is good through Nov, I believe.

We take the whole book mainly because we often will see a place while we're there that is in the book and use the coupon. Otherwise we'd miss out on that savings. My husband is the Entertainment Book King and will drive way out of the way just to buy one/get one free!

And we do leave the books there for someone else to use.

We took the whole book along because we did not know ahead of time which restaurants we might want to visit.
We left it as a tip for the housekeeper.

Where can I get one of these books please? And how much do they cost?

 

[frannn]

They have a link on their site that will get you the book for about 15 (including shipping). If you do a search on these boards, you'll find info on a bunch of Buy 1 Get 1 coupons for local Orlando restaraunts that this book includes. There are also rental car and hotel discounts and coupons. I bought it with the hopes of using the coupons for Baskervilles, etc.

I always take the whole book.

The books are $35 + shipping if bought through the entertainment website.

OR they are $10 + shipping ($5 aprox.) or you can get an additional $5 off + free shipping on all future book orders if you agree to purchase the book every year (until you or they cancel the agreement.)

I have an Entertainment Book for my local area and was considering picking up the Orlando version for our trip in Aug.
For those of who have the Orlando version, how much do you actually use it and do you think it would be worth getting one just for one trip?

I believe that it is worth it if you get the book for $15 total and are going to use more than one of the coupons. You will probably be better off geting it if you have a car. There are Buy 1 Get 1 coupons for some of the restaraunts in the Downtown Disney Hotel Area, like Baskervilles. There are coupons for closeby restaraunts, like Jungle Jims. If you plan on eating your meals at your resort and in the parks, it won't do you much good. You could get the rental car and hotel discounts in your local book.

I agree that if you don't have a car and are staying on-site it may not be worth it. We didn't use the car rental coupon as the DC offer was better at the time. And we stayed on site with a great code so didn't use the hotel deals either. As another poster said that the car and hotel deals are the same in ALL books no matter what North American city so don't need to buy an Orlando book to get those deals.

We did use the coupon for the Titanic museum. It was a 2-for-1. We were there for 2 weeks and were off-season (Sept) so the park hours were short and we had some evenings to do stuff like the Titanic museum.

I thought we would use more of the dinner coupons but we had trouble often navigating and finding places. I think we did use 3 2-1 coupon deals for supper.

There was a 2-for-1 deal for House of Blues at DD and 20% off I think at Planet Hollywood at DD as well. We used both of these.
