Disney world Florida

Fights, hotels etc are on top and prices massively, so it depends on what you want.

Direct flights from Newcastle are about £400pp outside of school holidays. Hotels can be very cheap for somewhere basic.

The Disney passes are going to cost about £500pp regardless though

£500 for a pass?A Day pass at Metro Land was £2 back in the day

Only if you stick to Quick Serve (i.e. fast food). If you go to table service places, the food is really good.

Not sure I fancy paying ANOTHER £2000 on top of the £2500 extra I'd already be paying to get 1 TS meal per day though.
Suddenly makes no sense at all.

Carribean Beach Resort hotel
Hollywood Studios
TS - Table Service
QS - Quick Service (fast food)

Only using them when typing though, not when actually talking.

Are you going to Orlando? One day? Which of the 4 main parks and 2 water parks are you planning to scratch the surface of, then come home saying it was shit because you didn't know about 90% of the things that were available? :lol:

😂 Don't worry about it it won't be shit I've been before. I'm staying in a different part of Florida and going to magic kingdom. My 3 year old will want to see characters etc won't be bothered about rides as much.
AndrewP said:
Sorry. 😂

It's nowhere near that much extra.

Just checked my upgrade fee from 2020 and it was £620 upgrade fee for 2 adults and 3 kids under 9.

You can easily do the best bits of Magic Kingdom in a day if you plan well.

I remember when I went back in 2003. I got a three day hopper and a +1 waterpark thing for about £100. If only it was still so cheap these days

My folks are going in June (must be 25years in a row now, except covid-years). This time they're not buying passes, as they have various left overs from "the past". Including a handful of single day paper tickets from eons ago - yeah, they did check that they are still valid!

I am and did now I’ve kids I’m going and they’ll ruin it for me no doubt. Spoil my drinking round world and nights out in dodgy areas trying to get some gear.

Haha yeah, they're valid forever. I imagine they'll get a bit confused on the day, but they will have to honour them.

Personally I would happily just rent a villa Florida and give the parks a miss, but if I go then the kids would demand the parks and that's what costs the money really.

Nah that’s passes. Think I’ve quoted wrong quote 😂
 
Just for balance (and probably already been covered), but when went five years ago just stayed in the Rosen Inn International on I-Drive. Piece of piss getting everywhere - either shuttle buses or Ubers, which are pretty easy to get. We also enjoyed the close proximity to the restaurants of I-Drive.

They're obviously all American chains, and locals would probably react to them like we would to Wetherspoons or something 😂, but we kinda enjoyed them, even the likes of chillis and that. Ideal and plenty of choice with a couple of bairns.

Realise the restaurant critics of the SMB will not approve mind :lol::lol:
 
Class place but the parks are massively overpricing people out of going. Universal have put the parking fee upto $32 a day. Remember years ago when parking was $5. Tippings gone upto 22% as well I think
 
Just be aware if you looking at next year’s prices. Disney will put them up to offset the cost of the free dining, so they will cost even more.
