How to go all out, on a budget.

[nelson84]

I want to look like a big spender but on a budget. How can I do this.
We are staying for 2 weeks at 2 different condos- already paid for/
Next I will priceline a minivan.
Priceline my plane tickets.
Eat at cici's more than once.
We would like to go to Disneyworld, Universal, sea world, legoland if it is open.

Where do I get tickets cheap for all 4 parks.

Has anybody bought tickets off of ebay? Is it safe or a scam?

ebay tickets= scam. Any tickets that are deeply discounted and not some sort of special program through Disney or Universal are scam tickets. Undercover tourist is the only legit dscounter that comes to mind, but any legit discount you can get is not going osave you more than about 10% at most. Unfortunately, if you want to be assured of getting inot the parks with the tickets you purchase, you will need to pay full or nearly full price for them.

I would avoid ebay for tickets, thats a risk you should avoid.
UT is great for a discount. You are planning an expensive trip with all those parks. If you are planning on Disney, did you mean just MK or all the parks? Seems that you will need to budget food each day, tickets, extra's, parking....it all adds up. Good Luck...

I am not a member, but I believe that you might be able to get tickets from AAA at a slight discount for some or all of those places.

Get an Entertainment Book for Orlando. Many restaurant, shopping and various attraction discounts in it.

Hi nelson....I was just sitting here...bored,till I saw the title- I knew it had to be you! you have a way with words..... IF you decide to buy park tix on Ebay,just don't let your guests know...so's if you get stopped and turned away at the turnstile,you can just make up n excuse like " they're closed today for extra cleaning" and no one will have to know about your budget buys. Not recommending it,just sayin'

eating at cicis does not equal big spender....

how about checking restaurant.com when they have the 80% and see what meals you can do there.

i'm not sure why you want to 'look like a big spender'.

undercovertourist is a discount way to get tix but not huge discounts. also just do base.

seaworld often has deals.

check mousesavers.com

good luck.

It had been a little too quiet around here! Seems like the last thread I saw was on the resorts board before it got locked - guess it is time for a Budget Board shakeup!

Curiosity got the better of me and I had to look it up - it was actually right here on the BB that the thread got locked last week, but today starts a new month!

Undercover tourist is the only legit dscounter that comes to mind,

There are other authorized ticket resellers - FloridaOrlandoTickets.com and MapleLeafTickets.com come immediately to mind, as well as the above-mentioned AAA - but ebay is NOT among them. Too too too much risk of being scammed.
