We will be using virgin vouchers on our 1st day for flexipasses. We will be going to SeaWorld & was wondering where we change our vouchers, as looking at a park map the Guest Services are on the other side of the entrance?

At Universal, Guest Services ar located to the right of the big arch entrance.

2. Car hire - If you have booked in advance (presumably with Virgin) then you have paid all you need to. Just say No! and mean it if they start the hard sell.

3. Missed tolls. if you are travelling to WDW / I Drive along Beachline Expressway (used to be called Beeline) from Orlando Airport and back at end of holiday then you will pay two tolls each way - a total of £1.50 each way.
(If you were arriving at Sandford airport which I doubt you are, then you would pay 5 tolls on way to Disney and 5 on way back. -Route 417.)
In your case just make sure you have a few $1 bills in each direction.(We usually ask for about $20 worth when we get our cash currency - also useful for tipping porters) Unless you plan to roam all over Florida then tolls are not a problem.

Read a good guide book before you go - Brit's Guide or Unofficial Guide to WDW. Forewarned is fore-armed.

Thanks for this.

1. thank you, will make a note of this.

2. yes all booked with Budget with platnum insurance - will be very firm.

3. MCO to IDrive - Point Orlando end. nope def no roaming, this is the first time we have been so plan to stay as local as we possibly can!

Have got Brit's Guide but have only skimmed it, I shall have a good read. I do tend to be a bit of a panicer!

Thank you

There is a window to guest services outside of the ticket booths, if I recall correctly it's to the left of the actual gates

I've booked a package with virgin and included my park tickets on this, does this mean I will get vouchers instead of tickets?

If so did I read it right, that we can change these at DTD rather than a park?

If the vouchers are for Disney tickets - yes.
Any Flex ticket voucher will need to be changed at one of the venues - Seaworld. Aquatica, Universal etc.

Thanks for that really good advice. I thought I'd read somewhere that if you are staying on resort you can exchange the vouchers at check-in for tickets, that can then be added to your room key. Am I wrong on this as this is my first time in 17 years need all the advice I can get.

Re changing them the night before - I am getting the 7day premier ticket so would this take one day off the ticket or are they only taken off when used for park admission?
