Legoland Florida

Lego have announced the opening of Legoland Florida on the site of Cypress Gardens in Central Florida.

It will be the largest Legoland to date and will create 1,000 jobs. It is expected to open in late 2011.

Universal U Select

Universal Orlando has announced a new ticket pricing structure called "U Select", in time for the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It follows a similar idea introduced by Walt Disney World in 2005, the Disney "Magic Your Way" ticket system and the idea is to encourage guests to visit the Universal parks for more than just a couple of days.

Free Gift Card

Disney have announced a free Disney Gift Card with a value of up to $750 for selected 5-night/6-day non-discounted vacation packages booked by March 27, 2010 and used by June 3, 2010. There are different 'blackout' dates depending upon resort.

Buying Walt Disney World Tickets

Magic Your Way Tickets

Disney typically raise their ticket prices each year in August (twice in 2006) and 2009 is no exception. In 2007 and 2008 they added $4 to the price of a one day ticket and in 2009 added $5. Multi-day tickets have increased by as much as $8 and prices for the Park Hopper, No Expiration and Water Park Fun & More options have also increased. However, you can save money by making an advanced purchase on 4 day or more tickets with the Park Hopper® option and/or Water Park Fun & More option.

From 2005, Walt Disney World introduced a new ticket package called "Magic Your Way" which gives you more flexibility in tailoring your theme park tickets to your own specific needs but can be quite confusing at first glance. It is well worth deciding exactly what you want to do on your visit before you buy your tickets; or you could easily end up buying tickets that you will not get full use of.

Mission: SPACE at Epcot

In essence, the Magic Your Way package works like this:

Firstly you choose how many individual days worth of visits you require (either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 days). If you just go for the Base ticket, then each day you are allowed admission to one park only (choose from Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios or Disney's Animal Kingdom).
For an additional fee of $52 (plus tax), you can add the "Park Hopper®" option which allows you to "hop" between parks on any one day; for example you could visit MGM Studios in the morning, hop across to Magic Kingdom for the afternoon parade and then finish up at Epcot for the evening firework display. You also get use of the Disney transportation system (monorails, water launches, and motor coaches) between parks.
If you want to visit one or more of the other Disney attractions then you can add on the "Water Park Fun and More Pack" option for an additional fee of $52 (plus tax). This allows you additional day visits to any of the two Disney Water Parks (Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon), Pleasure Island, the DisneyQuest Indoor Interactive Theme Park, or Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex. You get one visit for each day of the multi-day ticket (except for the one day ticket where you get two visits).
In the past, unused days on multi-day Disney tickets never expired but starting in 2005, tickets automatically expire 14 days after their first use. If you want to have non-expiring tickets then you much purchase the "No Expiration" option which ranges from $18 for the 2 day ticket up to $209 for the 10 day ticket (plus taxes).

Multi-day passes

The price per day goes down considerably, the more days you buy but do bear in mind that unless you buy the "No Expiration" option, then any extra days you do not use will be wasted.

If you want to use any remaining unused days on another holiday then you must add on the "No Expiration" option.

Transferring tickets

Tickets are non transferrable and Disney have installed hand scanners to ensure that only the person who originally bought the ticket can use it.
