    A trip for my sisters Disney wedding!

    How exciting! We got married close to the Boardwalk (at the yacht club) and had our reception in the boardwalk. It really is such a beautiful place to get married and I'm sure you will all have such an amazing time! :)

    Virgin Atlantics Reward seat Sale - 20% fewer miles - ends 23rd Septemeber

    We booked for next year :) A little earlier than I had planned on going but with a reward seat sale we had enough to get 6 reward seats in school holidays for the bargain price of just £1189! (Kids flights were cheaper than the advertised price because APD is longer paid for them). We had...

    Immigration queues & car hire ?

    Yes he had been before. My inlaws were right behind us in the queue and as they hadnt been recently went through the main queue. They were through atmost 10mins after us so it wasnt so bad.

    Paying for prebooked seats with Virgin

    Virgin have said they will sit one parent with one child. (Along as they are under 12) But that seat can be across an aisle etc. The change came into effect last Nov I believe and if you booked flights before that you can prebook seats free of charge at 60days in advance I think. ( I may be...

    Virgin OMG never

    I was impressed at how much immigration had improved at Orlando when we went through last Saturday. We landed about 10 mins after the MAN flight and so although the queue was at the beginning of the ramp into he immigration hall by the time we arrived we were still though within 30 minutes!

    My Disney Experience - issues

    not sure when you are going or if you are staying onsite/offsite but I got the same message until the day I was able to make my FP+ reservations. We are staying onsite so at 60 days when I went into it I no longer got this message.

    Car hire discount codes?

    Have you tried www.alamo.co.uk/Brits I booked with them yesterday as I noticed their prices have gone down for my trip recently. Other than that I haven't seen any discount codes recently, but Quidco were offering 10% cash back on Alamo bookings :)

    Help with Fastpass +

    The way I did them all was to select the the three I wanted for the day, then select modify and change the times for each one so they suit our plans :)

    ADR day!

    Be prepared to phone. There have been quite a few problems online. At my 180 day point I was able to book an ADR for my first day but the +10 didn't work at all so I had to call for the few others I wanted. Some people have been able to do it with no problems at all though so fingers crossed...

    Fast Pass Panic - 61 Days To Go

    You shouldn't need to worry about getting up at 4am/5am. I got up at 6am (as I had work) when I had to book mine for May, booked about the first 4 or 5 days and then went to work. I booked the remaining 9 or so days at lunchtime and got everything I wanted, pretty much at the exact times I...

    saving on the sly

    I am the same. A trip to WDW is always at the front of my mind but I absolutely will not book if I don't know I can comfortably afford to pay it off. I am usually pretty OCD about saving and I am happy sacrifice lots to save my money for WDW instead. Unfortunately thoug I have gone from being...

    Virgin flight VS27

    I read that will be taking place but due to how much planning is involved it's likely to be Late 2016. Quite suits me actually as we most often fly Virgin and the North terminal is our hotel preference :)

    Laminating Passport copies / DL copies?

    Double check but when we went to DC in May my children did not need photo ID, only the adults and they accepted our photo card DLs. We usually just carry our DL around when in orlando and only had an issue the one year when Disney began to not accept them. On that trip they accepted a copy of...

    Virgin flight VS27

    I agree,we have booked the Premier Inn outside the north terminal on a couple of occasions. It's right outside the North terminal but it's only a few mins ride on the monorail to the south terminal. It's my favourite as it's clean and comfy and usually has a good breakfast deal (can add dinner...

    'Free DDP' the cost to us in our package...

    We booked for my MIL/FIL this year. We are DVC members so chose to stay at SSR as that's where we could get them the best deal. We booked a while ago when the free dining offer was on. We booked the Accommodation, 14 night tickets and therefore got the Free dining. We personally don't like the...

    Virgin kids refund

    If it's "The Virgin Voucher" they are actually run by a different company. We gave some as a gift at work once and I remember reading they are operated by someone else on behalf of Virgin or something. We had a similar issue with Eurostar once, we had booked Premier class and they had to...

    Extra Cash for the House of Mouse

    We just generally cut back. A lot of the little luxuries we used to enjoy we cut out. (takeaways, nights out etc). We cut back on Birthdays and Christmas too, me and DH now have a really small budget to buy each other (so just a fun gift) and the rest goes in the savings account. We also use...
