    Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Sucks

    Been there 6 or 7 times in the last 8 or 9 years and my kids love Busch gardens and, ironically, don't care if we ever go to Magic Kingdom again. Never had a bad experience with staff or thought it untidy at all. Add to this I can get a 14 day pass that includes unlimited visits to busch...

    Busch Gardens

    Our 6th or 7th visit to Florida in 2 weeks, and we will spend 3-4 days in Tampa, then a week in Orlando. We don't touch Disney, and this time universal is off the menu. My 4 kids love Busch Tampa. They are 10,12,15 and 17 years old. For $150 each I can get a 14 day pass to Busch, adventure...

    CABANA BAY BEACH RESORT Thread..........

    If you had seen the room we were put in, and the room with the view of Volcano Bay, then you would not be saying that. The chance to stay in the room we initially booked for just 3 of our 7 days completely made our holiday. Sounds daft, but there it is. Kids love it. Loved the view. Could...

    Universal Explorer Ticket

    Want to re-itereate what I wrote last year. These tickets from Park Tickets are legit. I drove to their location in Celebration - I think. Its a little off the beaten track, but they gave me the tickets. I had prepaid online I think They are standard Universal issue. I am travelling again...

    Universal Explorer Ticket

    I called park tickets direct, and they told me 48 hours to deliver tickets local in Orlando. They have an outlet / partner in Celebration where you can pay for the tickets and pick them up instantly. Took me 10 minutes max. I bought 6 for 1760 $us and they are what is advertised. 14 day park...

    CABANA BAY BEACH RESORT Thread..........

    I will update my experience later. Please don't presume to tell people how they should or should not feel when they have planned something for 4 kids for 4 months, and invest over $15,000 on a vacation. I was pretty pissed off that they changed my hotel room without notice. The way I felt...

    CABANA BAY BEACH RESORT Thread..........

I just arrive at Cabana Bay (7pm Saturday Evening) with my 4 kids after getting soaked in a down pour at Seaworld, only to find out that the booking we made for our two bedroom suite in the new Cabana Bay tower (with view of Volcano Bay) has been changed and the...

    Rental Car

    Sounds a decent rate to me. I am there 3 weeks in August, and best I could find so far, is $756 at Costco. That's $US. I might go check them both again...... I will check rates to the last minute, and just cancel any previous reservations when I find a better price.

    Best place to get best price on Univeral tickets ?

    If you are there just three days, then a no brainer to get a 3 day ticket, but if you happen to be there longer, then spending just $200 more would get you unlimited park days (at all 3 parks) for 14 days. In the end, numbers need to add up for you. Just an option. Please note: I am not...

    Universal Explorer Ticket

    Ticket price did just increase but my guess is these are teh same tickets Universal gives out when you book a room package for an on-site. Search Universal Exlporer tickets on google for other operators selling the tickets. I found one called Musement at $280 US after conversion. They will...

    Best place to get best price on Univeral tickets ?

    I am in same boat. Family of 6. How many days you planning on spending at parks? We are going late August, staying on site for 7 days. With volcano Bay opening, it is possible we will do 3-4 days of parks minimum. Might throw seaworld or aquatica in there for a day. As I said earlier post...

    Express passes for family of 6 in August

    Been reading here and there that late August might be busier than we anticipate. I am not the sort who enjoys lining up 45 + minutes for a 3-5 minute ride. We spend 3 weeks in Florida, when we go. I don't See the point in spending 12 grand on a vacation to stand in park lines. Hope that...

    Best place to get best price on Univeral tickets ?

    If you want a ticket that is good for 14 days unlimited entry to UO, iOA and volcano bay, then the explorer ticket is the way to go. $264 including taxes. Unlimited entry to all 3 parks. Search the forum for the explorer ticket. If I can upgrade these to an AP, then for sure I am buying...

    What do we think of new 2BR suites at CB?

    Why so? You can always cancel a booking at no charge. I tried to book a 2 bed suite in mid August, but none available. So I went ahead and booked for late August. I can always cancel, but need a room that's big enough for 6, and squeezing into those regular suites is not going to cut it for...
