hi

I'm off there again this year

I use http://www.yescarhire.com for the hire car, and take the gold package
as it includes all insurances extra driver and first tank of fuel
Just booked mine it is a full size saloon - 2 weeks £386 have used them twice before too.

Park tickets - get them over here before you go lots cheaper .
look up - http://www.keithprowse.com- found them best last time.
Not doing the attractions this time so dont know current prices.

anything else you want to know, just post again

Al

hmm interesting !

I'm going over there late Aug, staying South of Tampa so only going up to Disney for a day, do you know best way of getting just a one day pass ?
or pay at the gate the only way ?

If i was you i would not look to pay on the gate as this will be very expensive, i would go on to Ticket Momma site and look at the deals

Hi
we go to florida twice a year, we love it that much we have now bought 2 houses out there, 7 bedroom we rent out and the 4 bed we stay in while there.
never buy tickets from the street , you see many signs saying we buy unused tickets and sell cheap tickets !!!! people have bought these and got to the gate (they do not work) When you go in the parks now you have to give a finger print to match you with your ticket, if it does not match it will not work.
They have just arrested gangs who sell these type of tickets over there. just be very careful it could spoil your holiday !!!

Try to join AAA, THE US equivalent of the AA. or, if you are a member of the AA in the UK you can get all the AAA members only deals as an Associate member.
They usually have some good savings on packages.
You can join AAA (Auto Club South, for Florida).
Watch out if buying in Florida; quite a few rip-offs around.

hi

just got back from Florida brill mid 90's every day and high 80's at night.
Stayed at Rotonda / Englewood this time so Disney was a 300 mile round trip so only did it 4 times 3 to Disney and 1 to Seaworld also did the Everglades including an air boat trip which was fantastic.
Did just over 2500 miles in the 2 weeks.

Yes be ware there are lots of ticket scams going on, saw lots being turned away at gates when finger print didnt work right, but they do however try you on two machines first, as the readers do sometimes play up, my daughters ticket worked two days then when we hoped park to Epcot on the third day it didnt like it on first machine but went OK on the one next to it, and was fine when we went back to MK later in the night too.

Petrol is now $2.54 ave a US gal (3.8 ltrs) which is about 42p a litre at current exchange rate.

I do know of the AAA but didnt see that it would have benifited me on this trip, but will bare it in mind for future trips.

As for Rotonda, not sure, think the Gulf Coast is nicer to the North of Tampa rather than south, so will probably stay nearer Spring Hill / Brooksville next time.

One last thing, wife didn't see the " no see ums" but they sure found her, bitten all up her legs ! ouch !!, they obviously didnt like me.
