Entertainment Book??

[Joan S.]

I was thinking of ordering the Ent. Book for Orlando online. Has anyone ever used any of these coupons for dining in the Orlando area?? And any idea how long it takes to ship?? Thanks for the info Joan

I haven't ordered the book for Orlando ... they were out of stock. So I ordered one for Toronto instead and it took about 1.5 weeks to get to me. They have different services but I chose the standard (which was free at the time) ...

I ordered one and if I remember it took about a week to get here. I didn't use any coupons but needed the card to get a good rate at the Portofino Hotel I was going to borrow one from MIL but they were $5 with no shipping at the end of last year so well worth it even if I didn't end up using it.

They have an online special right now for $15 shipped, I didn't order one for Orlando but did purchase my local book last week. Should be here soon.

We bought an Orlando Entertainment book for our 16 day trip in 2000, and we saved over $200 using the offers. We only spent 7 days doing WDW and the other week we did other things. I ordered it months in advance and was very methodical about finding offers we could use. I purchased an Orlando area street map to help with locations. I went thru the Entertainment book page by page, and kept a notebook of offers that were of interest. We used not only restaurants, but also mini golf and other area attractions as well. When we dropped off the rental car at the airport, I left the Entertainment book on the back seat for whomever might want it!
Most of our WDW trips are only for a week or so. In those instances, I doubt the Entertainment book would even pay for itself.

We received ours within 2 weeks of ordering back in Sept. I don't know if bunnyfoo was referring to the 2002 or 2003 book when she said it was out of stock. I have never seen Entertainment books available in book stores as they are generally sold as fund raisers. I would suggest that if the website says they are out of stock, that you try calling their Orlando office - they might have some locally. There were lots of fine, casual and fast food offers plus lots of other savings on activities like miniature golf, wonder works and gatorland(world?). You can use any local Entertainment book for hotel savings. I have always considered the Entertainment book a must buy when vacationing.

Whoops ... I should have said it was the 2002 book

Thank you everyone for the help. I think I will purchase it now and see what I use. We usually go back to Florida in the Summer and I am thinking of staying at Universal for a few nites. So I would use it for that too. Joan
