Can any of you give me any advice?
Are there any fantastic shows not to be missed?
I'll be buying the 14 day ultimate & the Orlando Flexiticket 2008.
I've tried my best to avoid busiest times and EMH.
Do the parks I am visiting twice, really need two visits?
Do some need more than one?
HELP ME......PLEASE!!!!

you don't need the Flexi Ticket. I would recommend the Universal $87 tickets (http://secure.universalstudios.com/webstore/shop/ViewItems.aspx?Merchant=UOMainOnline&CategoryGroupExternalID=UOMain&CategoryExternalID=UOTPTLive), and a seaworld & Aquatica ticket (http://www.seaworld.com/sitepage.aspx?PageID=196)($80)

the flex ticket costs $235.94 + tax, and buying the tickets seperately will cost $167, which should save enough for at least one character meal for your princess

PS, Re Magic Kingdom and Epcot twice, yes! They do. There is loads to do in both parks, and we always visit them at least twice.

IOA we don't visit twice but with thrill seekers in teh party, you probably do need too.


What are you going to do on your 'free day'? I've never had one of those !

Hi shows not too miss at Universal are Horror Make Up Show its really funny, at AK the Lion King show is great, at HS Beauty and the Beast but get there early for the group who entertain before the show, at Epcot Crush turtle talk is really cute, and at MK Mickeys Philimargic is great

I agree with Bev, you can save on the tickets. I think you have your park visits planned just right, maybe you can fit in some ADRs.

I went on Attraction TicketsDirect and I save £47.
Is there a better site I could go on?

I was looking at a Universal 2 day/3rd day free & joint Seaworld and Aquatica ticket.
What tickets would you get on my Itinerary?

**Forget above!Just seen Bev's links and realise I'd be saving alot more! Sorry guys!!

On Sun I would do IOA first while its cooler then do shopping in the afternoon as you will be in aircon malls.

Also two parks in one day on Weds is a lot esp if you are staying for fireworks, make sure youre all fit and ready!

[Mummymouse]

Hi SusieB
Thanks for the tip about the shopping on Sunday. Have swapped them round. Forgot about the heat! :tounge:

On wednesday we were thinking of revisiting Epcot to do anything we may have missed, then back for lunch, pool, then back about teatime for Magic Kingdom and fireworks.
What do you think?
Do you think we will need more time in those parks as second visits?

[susieb]

Hi, yes those are parks I am planning two visits on our second trip, but MGM and AK should be more manageable in a day. As long as you have a couple of hours cooling off in between should be ok!

Your kids will totally love it!
