Afternoon, there are now so many companies/websites selling Orlando tickets how do we know who is legit? Do these companies have to belong to organisations like ABTA that p financial protection for customers? I know that that these companies are not travel agents but if we pay for our tickets in instalments after an initial deposit how do we know are money is protected?

Thanks for that but I think they updated it after I spoke to them yesterday.

I was trying to book the SW bundle and an offer came up for the Serengeti safari at BG for the princely sum of £0.00!
Each time I tried to book it took me back a few pages so I rang them.

A glitch on their website was sited as the cause and no I couldn't book the safari for £0 it would've been nice tho!

ABTA only really applies to travel agents and generally only applies to "packages" and "flight-plus" holidays sold by those travel agents. It doesn't necessarily protect ticket-only sales (see here - "Bookings for a single service, e.g. accommodation only: these are not legally required to be protected").

Buying tickets in instalments is no different to buying anything in instalments or paying upfront for later delivery/work (and the delivery or work can be completed several months or years later). There isn't a special scheme - although some places might sell you insurance to protect against this sort of thing. However, you do have some protection if, for example, you pay by credit card (see Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act), although note the £100 lower limit. See the following for a bit more information:

moneysavingexpert/sh...istration-help

So, in summary, other than general financial protection laws (such as that provided by credit cards) which apply everywhere, you aren't really protected at all if the ticket company goes bust.

The combo price has now fallen to £660 from £672, £653 with the save £7 promo code.
Already cheaper for me to tear up last weeks deposit and start again, but will sit this out and see how far this goes down.
Assume the better exchange rate has worked through.

It's cheaper again with floridaescapes.co.uk £644 using the code saveten, but I think you would have to pay in full to get the price. orlandoattractiontickets.co.uk are selling it for £646.95 using the code super5, and you can pay a deposit. Links below.

floridaescapes/spe...-weekend-offer

orlandoattractiontickets...lando-PassPort

Another option is to see if themeparkticketsdirect.com will beat the overall price by £5, but I am not sure if they will as the other sites have offers on. It's worth checking though, they're open today until 1pm. See link below for the T&Cs.

themeparkticketsdirect/pricebeat.aspx

To be honest the offers are changing that quick it's hard to know what to do for the best.
