hello everyone

well we have just got back after a fab 3 weeks unfortunately we had an 8 hour delay on va16 coming back, va were pretty good gave us 2 rooms in the hotel at the airport and meal vouchers but would have preferred to have just got on the plane! The holiday was great I had forgotten how lovely it is to not have to think about taking jumpers around with you. Unfortunately ts fay hung around longer then we would of liked. Mistake we made was pre booking a hotel near busch gardens as the weather was starting to turn and it was very windy at clearwater plus poured with rain at busch gardens. Discovery cove was a lovely day wish we had got the photographers to take more random photos and wish we had taken more ourselves.
Aquatica was good but there are not enough areas to go when the rain comes. Disney was fab we only spent 3 days there as we have bought no expire tckts and hope to go back twice next year. Any questions fire away, there looked to be another ts coming. On a shopping front dh bought most of van hussan very good vouchers available and you can get a card in store which gives you more discounts. I invested in 2 pairs of flipflop type crocs absolute godsend walking around the parks and getting wet also bought the fitflops but these needed to be broken in first as the bit between the toes is a killer!! Went to coach shop and got a lovely purse discovered bath and body works why do we not have one in the uk? Bought loads of soaps which came back in one piece.
Right well I will end here thank you so much for all the tips I have learned over the years oh and we went to texas de brazil with our 50% voucher and would definately go again.

Welcome home Michelle. Glad you had a good time, shame about the weather & delay coming home though.
 
Sounds like you had a great time despite the weather.

Where did you get a 50% Texas De Brazil voucher?
 
Welcome back, 3 weeks is the way to go, problem is you get a bigger bout of post Florida depression. We were thinking of going to Texas/Brazil restaurant when we were there in May but ran out of time. Again we would like to know where you got the 50% off voucher.
 

Hi Glad you had a good holiday.
I want to get the flip flop crocs but I am living in Spain and they are 39 euros here which is 57$. So my question is how much did you pay for yours and are they easily available? I'm sure they will be much cheaper there than here. I'm not worried about buying last minutes and wearing them in as I live in flip flops most of the year.
Thanks Val

For those who asked about the 50% off voucher for Texas De Brazil-i believe if you sign up to there website+put your birthday in as a few days before you depart they will send you an email voucher.Alot of companies offer something for nothing or a discount voucher when joining.Have a look around on the websites of the ones you're thinking of visiting to see if they invite you to join up :thumbsup2 .x.

I bought two of the Cleo type Crocs this year, they cost $29. I think the other styles were the same price too.

Welcome back and glad you had a good time.
 
before we went I signed up with lots of restaurants and said my birthday was during the holiday period. Only thing at texas de brazil because we were a party of 6 they charged us 18% gratuity on the full price so we ended up paying about $56 in tips which is more than we would of left.

Crocs; I bought mine from macys one pair were $30 the other $35 but you get the tourist card which takes off 11%. They also had a selection in quiet flight at universal, if you have an annual pass you get 10% off. I would not of bought the usual crocs as I am 5ft and think they look ugly on my feet but I love the sandals they are worth buying 1 pair is brown/pink the other grey/pink.

Seaworld/aquatica dining plan we bought 2 wristbands for this they cost$28 each but allow you to eat and drink at both parks we were able to feed our group of 6 with these admittedly it did involve queuing but saved us a fare bit. I am sure by next year they will be stricter but if you plan to go you should consider doing this as it also included tea, coffee, fizzy drinks and bottles of water one main course and one side which can either be a salad or pudding as many times as you want.There was 2 restaurants at aqutica and 6 at seaworld. I think you could probably keep the band and do it again as the band was the same colour and no one checked the next time we went. We didnt do this but we probably could of !!! Finally managed to do the bud talk really good would reccommend it.
