We think the same, and we were Disney annual pass holder for many years... last year with the 'new' (to us anyway) system of booking fast passes ahead of time, drove me mad, going online every day at 12 noon. And even despite my best efforts, we still couldn't get tickets for some rides for the...

I'm struggling a little to understand everyone saying that Universal are expensive... I agree that prices have gone much higher in recent years, compared to the flex tickets that were on offer years ago, but if you compare the 2 week price of a Disney ticket to Universal, it's still much...

We did at last year. Had one price from guest services which was not worth upgrading for us, tried another, got a cheaper price, which when we factored in free parking, made it a no brainer to upgrade!

Nah, think it's just doing that to wind us up!!!

Ah hour now, trying to book some FP+ for 2nd August. It's bad enough being treated like 3rd class customers because we're not on site, with virtually no hope of getting fast passes for certain attractions, but this is insane!!!!!!!!

We're going in a few weeks time, I've checked everyday (even before today, which is 30 days out), and over the last 2 weeks or so, I've not seen a single (we're a group of 3) slot for FOP!!!:mad: I think you were either a bit lucky, or I'm just very unlucky! But I'll keep[ on refreshing, you...

I totally agree, for us, no ride is worth that amount of pain! :duck: I'll start refreshing like mad on Tuesday (I think) when we hit 30 days out...

Good point. We usually make it a rule to not visit a park that has had EMH in the morning that day.

Me neither... vowed the last time we did a rope drop 'never again', that said, we never get to the parks later than posted opening... drives my dw mad how determined I am to be there for opening! :yay: Cant believe I'm seriously thinking about the prospect of queuing in a long line. Think the...

Think high tailing it straight there and waiting in stand by is our only option, unless a miracle happens and a fp opens up! Don't think we'll do FOP, despite our little one being tall enough, he doesn't seem to like thrill rides (our older 2 loved them when they were little!). But we'll...

That's a bit depressing! We're off site too, our FP window opens in a few days time. Since we were there last, the new FP+ system has come in, and it would appear that unless you stay on site, you've no (virtually none anyway) chance of getting on Avatar Flight of Passage or the 2 new rides at...

Wow, not a nice way to end a Saturday in AK. We've not been for a few years, so I'm hoping that the security at the entrance is better than it use to be, an elderly gentleman with a pointy stick!!! Still, even with (hopefully) no weapons getting into the parks, it would be nice to think that if...

Well, just done our ESTAs for the end of July. Approved after a few minutes. Just looked, and mine finishes a month short of 2 years away (due to passport needing to be renewed), DSs ends next summer (due to his 5 year passport coming to an end) and DW ESTA finishes as it should, exactly 2 years...

Thanks. Fingers crossed Sixt is as good at Miami! We booked an intermediate SUV with them, 3 minute train ride from the terminal to the car centre where all the car rental companies are located. I'll let you know how we get on. Thanks again all! :goodvibes Matt

Thanks both of you, really helpful. I've worked out the cost of parking times the days were there, about 21 and anything less than that figure to change the ticket, and were quids in. Anything more, and we'll have to consider any savings at restaurant etc to work out if it's saving us anything...

We bought 21 day ultimate tickets for our trip this summer and I've had a bit of change of heart... and quite fancy getting one annual pass instead. I know you can upgrade them to annual passes once we get there (we'll only get the one annual, and therefore get the free parking etc), as Disney...

Thanks for that. Fingers crossed we get to pic our car, always try to avoid big mileage buckets!

Thanks for that. I did a little research, and all of the car rental companies at Miami are accessed by the Miami People mover (basically a light rail train), and are located at the car centre. A few car rental sellers (not actual companies) will say that various companies are 'on airport' or...

Oh well, judging from the lack of replies, I'll be the guinea pig then! :bitelip: We booked with them, by far the cheapest, with a lot of conflicting reviews, as many rental companies seem to have. When we're back in the middle of August, I'll let you know how we got on. Matt

We are renting a SUV from Miami this summer, and Sixt is coming out the most competitive at the moment, with 11% cash back from topcashback.. Has anyone rented from Sixt before? And do you get a chance to choose your car from a line, obviously from the correct category? TIA, Matt
