Has anyone bought any of the Entertainment books?
Is there anywhere in the UK to buy them or do you need to order from the site?
How long did it take to come and, in your opinion, is it worth buying?
I've read that there's a free coupon for a City Walk movie / meal deal?
Phew, think that's all the questions...................... :scratchin

Anyone?
:sunny:
 
Hi Alison

We purchased the Entertainment book in both 2003 and 2005 - both times to secure the Ent rate at HRH.

I've only ever purchased the book from the website and as far as I'm aware that's the only way of doing so. It's really easy and arrives within a few days.

As for whether it's worth it or not.....certainly was for me because of hotel discounts. Excluding the hotel and assuming a price of around $30 then I'd still probably say yes for:

Mini-golf discounts - always a fav with us
Restaurant discounts
Cinema / meal combos

You should be able to get more than your $30 back.

Thanks Garry.
And there's $10 off at the monent so it would only be around $24, inc shipping.
 
What is this entertainment book?
Which site do you order from??
Whats an Ent rate???
Sounds interesting :)
 

Hi Alison,
I posted this a couple of weeks ago:

We've bought the Orlando Book for 2006 and, although it's not as good as it was a few years ago when coupons were also valid at lots of other places outside the Orlando area, there is a good range of coupons in it. There's a coupon for the Meal and Movie Deal at Universal (which we're planning to use and was the reason we bought the book) which is worth $19.95, and so the book will pretty much pay for itself just by using this. Including postage to the UK, it cost just over £13, and it arrived in less than a week. It is selling for $20 at the moment, which is what we paid for it.
Just to give some idea of what else the book contains.... there are coupons for Fun Spot, Magical Midway, Gatorland, Disney on Ice, AMF Bowling, Pirate’s Cove Adventure Golf, Putting Edge, Sky Venture, Tiki Island Adventure Golf, $15 off for Medieval Times Dinner Show, $5 off for Sea World, Busch Gardens and Adventure Island (if buying tickets at the gate), $10 off for Dixie Stampede - to name a few of the attractions; and for many many food outlets, like McDs, Fuddruckers, Cold Stone Creamery, Planet Smoothie, Bill Wongs, Baskin Robbins, Dunkin Donuts, Pizza Hut, Outback Restaurant, etc - lots of these are BOGOF offers.
To be honest, we're unlikely to use more than a dozen or so of what's in the book, but the savings by using just a few of them can make it worth the purchase price. It depends whether coupons for places/restaurants you want to go to are in there.
It's true to say that a lot of the coupons are available in booklets that you can pick up for free in Orlando. The Book is also quite thick and therefore heavy, but we are intending to only take a selection of what's in it with us, not the whole book.
If there are particular places/restaurants you're interested in, I could let you know if there's a coupon in the Book.
Hope this helps.

Any other questions, fire away!
 
Thanks for that suei :thumbsup2

I'm being hopelessly indecisive about buying the book :scratchin

At the price it is, with the meal deal and a free $25 meal certificate included it would more than pay for itself :confused3

I keep asking myself if we'll have time to go to the cinema........ok we'll have a free meal deal but will need to buy two more.....................I usually go along with 'if in doubt, don't do it' but I can't even convince myself about that one at the moment either......... :rotfl:
 
We got the book for Orlando.There are a couple Publix coupons and AMC (the DTD movie theatre) as well as all of those listed.There are some pretty goog discounts on meals off site.There is also one for Cookies by Design.I am using this for a Disney Easter cookie basket for kids. They have awesome shortbread cookies that are decorated.http://www.cookiesbydesign.com/category.aspx?categoryID=53
I think we got our moneys worth.
I do have some I will not be using including the Disney on ice one.We tried to get 3 more Meal.Movie ones for Universal but I think it is just too hot an item right now.
 
It seems a pretty good deal,
we are staying 1 week Disney, 1 week i-drive & 1 week Clearwater, We dont venture far, just mainly theme parks, (restaurants & golf mainly on i-drive) we dont have a car would this book be worth buying for us??
 
:offtopic: but we stayed in Clearwater, for a week, last year :thumbsup2

If you like seafood go to the buffet at 'Shepherds Beach Resort' :)
 
Hi Alison,
The Publix coupons are:
$5 off a spend of $50 or more (2 of these - 1 valid to 31/05/06 and 1 valid for 01/06/06 to 01/11/06) - with some exclusions like alcohol, tobacco, stamps, prescriptions, etc.
$3 off any Publix Decorated Cake (valid to 01/11/06)
$3 off any Publix Deli Party Platter from a brochure (valid to 01/11/06)
All are valid only in certain Florida counties including Orange, Seminole and Brevard, but not Osceola.
 
If you are looking at buying one and going later in the year, wait until April/May time and they slash the prices of the books, I think I ended up paying $5.99 for one in June to use in Sept, but it may have been $9.99
