Floridatix - pay balance now or lose deposit for 2021 trip?

ChloeFZ · 2 Jun 20, 03:32 PM

So we're a party of 4 and have paid a Ł40 deposit for our 14 day park tickets. We're definitely postponing our trip to 2021 but I'm still minded to pay the balance by 10 June as is now the requirement, to lock in the price for next year. Plus it's another thing ticked off the list and paid for. However, another member of our party thinks we should abandon the tickets and lose our deposit and wait until next year to book tickets, just in case Floridatix go down the pan. I don't think that's likely though and would rather lock in the price. Any thoughts?

Pay if you can by credit card and make them liable if the company goes plop.

Excellent idea, thanks. And I guess that way, I've locked in good prices - no doubt they will rise again next year.

Rise again they will, it’s about the only sure thing we can say at present.

We’ve done similar with Attraction Tickets Direct.

They’re paid for out of the way now and we paid on the credit card so protected should anything happen.

I’ve been thinking of putting a deposit down on universal tickets for next year. I don’t think they will go down! Don’t know what to do!

Thanks for the advice everyone, I think the best thing to do is lock in the price now and pay in full on a credit card so we're protected. I'm tempted to put my deposit down on Universal for next year too, like mrsbenny says.
