NWR: Orlando trip!!

Magic your way tickets are really just basic entry tickets. To 'hop' from park to park on the same day, you need to buy 'park hopper' passes - which cost more $$. The park hopper entitle you to go to say Epcot in the morning and Magic Kingdom in the afternoon.

'extra magic hours' are for guests staying at Disney hotels only. Every day a different park either opens early or closes later. Not all rides are available during this time but most are. You need to get a bracelet in order to use the rides during this time. Bracelets are available in the park that day (ask at Guest Services and they will tell you where exactly) and you will need to show your room key and your ticket to get the bracelet.

Thanks for the info. Do you suggest renting a car? Is so, you think it's better to get it in FL?

It depends on what you want to do and where you want to go. If you're planning on staying in Disney and only Disney - there's no need for a car.

If you're staying outside of Disney then I would rent a car.

If you're staying in Disney and planning to head to Universal or Sea World, rent a car but only for the days you're doing a side trip.

I always have luck bidding on a car through priceline. I went down to FL in February and got an Alamo rental car for $12 a day.

I'm getting concerned that it may just become too expensive. I REALLY want to go too!!! I was checking out other vacation spots as well. Do you think I'd be better off just doing an all-inclusive trip to an island??

It really depends, Orlando is not exactly a cheap trip - but you can get some good last minute deals.

I haven't been to an all-inclusive in years but it's a totally different kind of trip.

I think I need to figure out how much I wanna spend on this trip and then evalaute my options!!!
Ughhhhhhhhhhhh....I wish stuff wasn't so expensive.
Thanks again for your help Geegee
