Orlando Entertainment 2006

Is it worth the $20 cost? We will only be there for 5 days for certain in March, but DD5 and I just might do a Mommy and me trip later in the year for another 4 or 5 days.

DD's school is selling the books for a fund raiser, and I'm feeling a "guilt purchase" coming on. Of course, I'm going to (have to) buy the book for our area. I'm just wondering if I would get even close to getting my money back if I bought the Orlando one as well. Right now my gut tells me that we would have to actually make an effort to eat off-site (and eat off-site often) to make it worth the purchase price. What are your thoughts?

We share our Orlando book with another family. Neither one of us really cares that much about the fancy restaurants (so the card is not a big deal). We just discuss which coupons we want. Cutting the cost in half makes it a terrific deal. It is funny how two families can approach the book with such different choices

The $20 off a weekly rental at National Car is incentive enough, but I've certainly used it for more than that.

The Entertainment Card can be used to get reduced rates at a number of hotels. These rates can be better than AAA and AARP.

You can also use the card at local restaurants if you know the "number" that is associated with that restaurant and have no used that number at another location.

There are a number of discounts for attractions along I-Drive.

You can order movie tickets for discounted prices thru them.

A new feature is the ability to order restaurant GC's at a discount. They have Red Lobster, Olive Olive, Bahama Breeze and Smokey Bones for 10% off the face value of the card. Cards are $50 denominations.

They also have online specials like the current Target.com special. If you click thru the Entertainment.com website, you 10% off your order plus free shipping!

You can preview the book you plan to purchase by going to the Entertainment.com website and clicking on the Buy A Book link at the middle of the top of the page. Scroll down to the book you want to see and click the View link. It may help you decide if you'll use any of the Orlando coupons.
