Mobile A few questions...

1) how long do the estas take to come through?

2) how do i get to ksc and legoland with no car or transportation booked with my tickets?

3) jedi training: is it ok to book this on an emh day or should i book a breakfast somewhere to get into the park earlier and sign up?

4) the refillable cups we get at cbr, I know u can only fill them up at the resorts so do you guys just use them there in the hotel room/ by the pool etc.. or do u take them full with u into the parks? If so, how do you carry them about?

Our ESTA was approved within minutes, I think most are, though some have taken a couple of days. Do make sure you use the official link (at the top of this board).

Personally I wouldn't take the mug with me to the park, it'd be a pain to carry unless you were taking a child in a pushchair the. You could pop them in that. I'll take a bottle of water with me, as I can throw this away when done, then either just drink free water or pay/use a snack credit for a drink.

Your ETSA will come through straight away usually, some will say pending and take a few days.

If we were going to a park in the evening we would take ours with us, we would walk over to the food court from Jamaica, get an ice cold drink and drink them on the bus, we would get the bus from outside Old Port Royals, DH had a backpack so would put them in there when they were empty. We didn't do it every day but did for a few days!

No idea about Jedi training though, sorry!

Re KSC and Legoland, there are a couple of companies that provide transportation, but I think they sell it with their tickets. You might need to rent a car, both are not serviced by public transportation and are too far for a sensibly priced taxi.

A ≈≈≈≈≈≈. Will have to buy investigate further with this then. Tickets were purchased as gifts for xmas so no option of transportation. How much do you reckon a car would be for 2 days if i did the trips bk to bk?

I've hired a car from Avis for two days and I think it cost about £100 but it's a convertible (special treat for me!). I'm sure there were smaller cars for a lot less! BTW I hired this to pick up at Disney's Car Care Center, which is why it's Avis. You can get a shuttle bus to take you there!
