And the other one came to £1295!!!!
The first one was for 2 adults and two children! That's amazing!
Obviously I can't go this year, but if this is the price today for this year, I'll be making sure I'm looking on the web around this time next year for the same date in October and with any luck will get prices like these! Who knows, the whole fuel saga might have died down by then. If not, these prices are major bargains, so even a few hundred more will be amazing!
I was starting to get a little disheartened, for about a day, about whether I could really afford it, but at these prices it's a dead cert!
I'm so excited now I've seen these. I've always heard that late bookings are a myth etc but I can be flexible with dates, and if I'm saving now, I can book very late being as I'll be paying the whole lot in one go.
I also went through the options of buying attraction tickets at the same time and got the same as above (experian), so flights, hotel, breakfast every morning, Disney 5 day premium which includes admission to Magic Kindgom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot and MGM (ok, ok Hollywood studios!), as well as all Disneys water parks, then the 3 park bonus ticket which includes admission to Universal studios, Universal Islands of adventure, City Walk and Wet n Wild. THEN, admission to Seaworld and Aquatica, AND a reservation for the Pirate Dinner Adventure, which looks fantastic and you need to book in advance to get in. All that for £2196!
We wouldn't need much more than that! Just extra spending money for shopping and food.
We also don't NEED all the tickets, this is just what I'll buy if I can afford it (£860 extra for all the tickets).
What I'm most likely to do is buy the tickets at the gate or hotel. It will work out cheaper for us, as we'll really only buy tickets to MK, MGM, Seaworld and Universal and maybe Animal Kingdom depending on transport. I don't know how much that costs individually, but I'd guess about £40 for an adult and £30 for children, so £100 per park, which makes £400 instead of the £800 (will still do the PDA at £60) which would make a total of £1796!!!!!
£1796 to go to Florida for Halloween! £1796 to stay in a lovely hotel in a sunny paradise. £1796 to have brilliant flights that will get us there in the afternoon, and won't have to leave too early. £1796 to see Mickey and his gang, the parades, the castle. £1796 to go on TOT again. To go on everything again! £1796 to see Shamu do his tricks and feed the dolphins. £1796 to plunge 120ft (I think) down a water slide. £1796 to have pirates fighting around us when we eat a fabulous dinner. £1796 just to be there!
I've never been more determined to save as much as possible so we can do all that and go shopping too! Who, I ask, could ever ask for anything more?
There's nowhere else I would rather be...
