Hi

Just got back after two weeks in Orlando. Have completed a trip report with the aim of informing, as opposed to boring. stayed on site week one at ASM and oliday Inn resort week 2. Travelled with Virgin, without a car with 2 yound kids, and did all the parks and loads of shooping, all of which have been commented on including the new maguic express service.

please ask for any specifics
 
wwelcome back :) i look forward to reading your trip report as it sounds very much like our trip will be in september.
 
Welcome back! I will read your trip report with interest.

Hello there

Great to be back eh! We're heading out on Sat (4th June) and I was thinking of doing the EMH in the eveings - did you attend any of these and would you recommend them?

Welcome back, eagerly awaiting your trip report.
 
Welcome back, a few questions, did you use magical express? how did it go? did you find it easy to get round without a car? did you go to seaworld without a car?

We attended two in the morning and managed to go on both the tower of terror and the rock n roller coaster by 8.30am, plus at Animal kingdom too, we went early as it was very hot and were advised that the best time to see the animals was in the morning and we werent disappointed.

Went to two in the evening but to be honest didnt stay for very long as our kids (3.5 and 1.5 ) were knackered. I would certainly recommend it and would be one of the main reasons that I would stay on site again whenever we decide to go ( 4 years most likely).

I have read on here that some people think it tends to get very busy but we had no such problem, although that could be that we were there in may and the longest ride we had to wait for was 30 mins - the Stich ride.

so yes go for it and have a great time, incidentally u have to go on the tower of terror I thought it was the best thing in all the parks including the two at universal !!

Had hoped to use magical express but was told by Disney when i telephoned that Virgin werent taking part in this so I wouldnt be able to use it. However, an email from Disney informed that that I would still be able to use the service and would be able to get luggage tags from the special kiosk as I left customes. However, when I got there I couldnt see any kiosk and thus decided to stick with the virgin transfers which worked out ok.

It was fairly easy to get around without a car other than a trip to the premium outlets in the first week when we took a disney shuttle to downtown disney and got a cab from there. However, would have been handy to have a car to go to Walmart in the first week to buy some essentials so that we werent getting ripped off at the food court at ASM.

We went to Sea World second week of our holiday when we were staying on I-Drive and took a trolly which goes straight there. From I Drive you really dont need a car as the cabs are inexpensive too to the parks etc etc .

Hope that helps
