If you book VN through Disney you can get 2 days with dining, parking and EMH included. We booked through Expedia as Disney didn’t have 4 bed lodge available and bought 3 day tickets separately. We took breakfast from home and made sandwiches to take to the parks and only bought one fast food meal in parks which not only kept price down but also saved big queues for food.
If you don’t want to drive from VN to Disney there is a great shuttle bus every half hour for 2 Euro per adult, kids free. It was never full and very punctual.
Agree with other poster that we spent a full day in Studios with plenty to do and didn’t do Crush or ToT (we are wimps) or Frozen show (over an hour queue all day). However I’ve never understood people who said HS in Florida was half day park either as we filled a 12 hour day there without any thrill rides. We spent a day and 3/4 in the main park.

Yes, we have always spent a full day in MGM too (I’m old school...lol)

Where did you buy your 3 day passes from? I’m so used to buying them from various websites for WDW, is it just the case that you buy them direct from DLP website?

Everyone’s been so helpful, I’m starting to piece it all together now. Thank you 😊

Most of the ticket websites are around £10 pp cheaper than direct. We used attractiontix.co.uk as they had a Black Friday offer on and were about £20pp cheaper than Disney. However, they were e tickets which I hadn’t realised needed to be exchanged (they had barcodes so I thought were gate ready) and we wasted 40 mins first morning in a huge queue to do this. If I’d known I would’ve popped there the night before.

Hi, I got an email this morning from 365 tickets they are doing adult tickets for child prices £42.61 each.

Don’t tempt me Sprockett. Although realistically we are looking at £7.5k at the cheapest for Florida, DLP is coming in at around £1.8k. I guess per night it probably isn’t much different (14 nights versus 4 nights). We last went to Florida 6 years ago, when it only cost not much over £3k, but 2 extra children, school holiday restrictions and the rubbish £ are making it so much more expensive.

Maybe the £ will strengthen this year and we can do WDW again next year when our little ones are that little bit older. As after all, I think WDW is just as much about us grown ups having a good holiday as well as the kiddies, who may be a little more hard work age 5 than age 6.

Can you tell I’m trying to convince myself...lol!
