    Magic Kingdom is really for young children. I'd skip it if you don't have anyone under 10. We had a much better time at Universal.

    Are ye into thrill rides like roller coasters or more relaxed less thrilling attractions? If you hate thrilling rides/coasters then theres not much point on going to Island of Adventure. So let us know first but you had a nice mix in what you decided yourself. I would try get to Seaworld too :)

    Regardless of when you want to go there is loads to do. Look up AIRBNB for somewhere to stay. Try and avoid Las Ramblas for food or drink...shockingly touristy and expensive with a good few pickpockets for good measure!!

    I was there recently enough, did a Wednesday to Sunday and it was brilliant! I stayed in a hostel called Hostel One Parellel and it was the best place I've ever stayed on any holiday. Really really friendly place, made loads of friends, free dinners and socialising every night, and I would genuinely return to Barcelona just to stay at this hostel, it really made my trip! It was rated #4 best small hostel in the world and it wasn't hard to see why.

    There's loads to do in Barcelona on any day of the week, although the only thing I will say is that the main tourist activities are pretty pricey so budget accordingly!

    I presume you mean Las Vegas, Nevada when you say Vegas; and that your plan is to drive
    about 4.5 hours from Las Vegas to the Los Angeles area; i.e., Venice Beach.

    Just another suggestion for you is to drive Las Vegas to Anaheim, California. Anaheim has the original Disneyland. I am finding out just this evening that it looks like Disney also built an adventure park called Disney California Adventure (DCA).

    Either way, I think the Disney people always do things with class -- more so than Six Flags America. But this is just a matter of opinion.

    You can google Disney and Disney California Adventure to get an idea of what theme park prices are.

    Also, you can use Yelp.com to get a flavor of what people are saying about these theme parks. In the search box, just put in Disney or Disneyland and for the city, just put in Anaheim, CA.
    It should give you an idea of how people are rating these activities.

    It seems a shame for you to be so close to a wonderful place such as Disneyland and not to take advantage.

    I was not very impressed with what I read about the Cadillac Hotel. If you still plan to go to Venice Beach, I think I noticed that there is a large Marriott Hotel in Venice Beach. Some times the bigger hotels have more rooms and better deals.

    Post again if you are going to stick with the Venice Beach area or if you are going to try Disneyland. I think if you were to go to Disneyland and DCA, you would need two days to cover them. Also, if they have hotels within the theme parks, it is always better to stay within the theme park.

    Another advantage is that the kids will be back in school by late September, and so these activities and hotels will be less crowded in September, I would think.

    Yeah I've since had a look on tripadvisor and the reviews are a bit mixed on the Cadillac Hotel. I think I might look elsewhere.

    With regard to Six Flags-it's not something I have much interest in, it's my boyfriend who has his heart set on it. He has been to Disneyland as a child I think and apparently it has to be Six Flags.

    Anyone any further recommendations. Heading over for three nights in December. Barca are playing so tempted to go see them. Tickets 50 euro. Not too sure how the OH will feel about it though :p.

    The trip up to Tibidabo is worth it, for the views over the city(useful for getting your bearings). Take the L7 metro up to Avenida Tibidabo, the bus up to the lower station of the funicular, and then the funicular up to the top.
    The only negative is that the funicular is pricey.

    You can also get nice cheaper or more reasonable genuine stuff here before go paris like in penneys you can tshirt €6-8 mickey ears hands leggings €8.
    Pj €12 in nightwear these are adult sizes prizes I have seen on monday and even in homeware paris theme cushion dont know price too high dishcloth 1.50 Effiel tower picture €6 and cup €2.
    Why not have a look in the child section for disney theme stuff and other stores.
    save money in advance if you know what you would like to get there that you might get for less here.

    I'm going in oct to paris and disney so I be getting some here locally to avoid overshopping there as already got them in advance already looking forward and got little things a cup and dish cloth is a lovely reminder where I'm going in 7 weeks time.

    Only confusion is what the best cheapest time saving transfer from airport bus or private shuttle car or speed train it the last thing I need to book.
    How long waiting time between getting off plane and to train station tvg or arrivals for bus/ private car driver?
    read on TripAdvisor that for tvg you need to allow 3 hrs to catch train eeek!
    tips advice welcome.

    Have got the TGV to disney from CDG a few times. Its really handy its part of Terminal 2 and easy walk at most 10 minutes from arrivals. Trains are generally to the minute there so no waiting around if you pick one that is a little after your arrival. You can collect your tickets in train station at one of the automatic machines to save queues. Its only about 10 minutes on the train as well which is great. Fastest and easiest way to bring you right into disney with no hassle.

    i'm not going to lie, we got lost in CDG airport looking for where we got our (prepaid) bus to disneyland,


    in the end we founf the TGV terminal first and when we went ot buy tickets the machines had a message on them saying it was free for the day so i don't know how much it was, what i do know is from the tickets to the platform was a 2 minute walk, quite easy to understand and there was a train conductor person we could ask (they had no english though i had to speak french i have conversational french so we understood one another well) and the train was due 5 minutes after we had wondered down to the platform

    getting on the train was easy and we were there so fast, we'll use it from now on i think, (we got the bus back and we've agreed next time to just use the train)

    the train also dropped us literally at the gate into the park and the shopping village which made finding our hotel so much easier, while giving us a look around what they had shops/restaurant wise there on our way to the hotel,

    I've been there twice. Me, the mrs, and my 7 year old son Dylan. He has autism, so things are a little more challenging.

    We flew into CDG, and once I got the shuttle bus, next time I got the hired car. 100% recommend the hire car. I think there was a fiver in the difference for three of us, and it made it so much handier. I'd recommend these guys.

    http://interserviceprestige.com/

    I stayed in the New York hotel twice, it's nice. Food is super expensive. Places I would recommend to eat are the Earl of Sandwich, McDonalds, and the small shop by the train station. Bring a chill bag, and load up at the buffet in the morning with bread rolls / ham / croissants etc. Eat big, you'll be doing a lot of walking! My phone had a step counting app on it. I walked 14 miles. Every day. With 22 kg bundle of joy on my back for most of it! (I lost weight there actually :D)

    There's a mini bar in the room, you can squeeze some small items into it to keep cool. You can't get a sliced pan anywhere nearby (I did, once, at the train station shop). One stop up on the train is the nearest town. Good if you need to do snack shopping / pharmacy.

    Wifi is available in the rooms, and in McDonalds. Definitely see the fireworks at least once. Bring a back pack / bum bag for the park. TV is rubbish in the rooms, consider a portable dvd player / laptop / tablet with stuff to watch.

    In regard to gifts, i'd say fridge magnets. Feck them, it's your holiday! Lego shop is amazing actually. Spent hours there.

    Any questions, just ask.

    Oh, and in regards to getting lost, you won't top me. We decided to get the train back to the airport, as the bus had been so slow on the way there the fist time. MR CDG was such a narcissist that he named a train station and a airport after himself. I will forever remember booting my wife's arse through a turn stile, while dragging luggage and holding my son! :D Had to run all the way to the surface, *ooh! Look! The arch de triumph!* and hop into a cab to the airport. Nearly missed our flights!

    Our plane should arrive 3:10pm at T1 in CDG should I allow 2 hours or 2.5 gap to catch train? say 6pm train.

    We were planning not to bring luggage to check in just hand luggage going to France and if maybe do end up doing a big shopping spree can add 1 luggage on return to check in for home.
    Good idea or better advice very welcome please do comment
    Thanks in advance :D

    We had originally thought not to check in, but by the time I arrived at the desk, I was carrying carry on, plus a 7 year old. Bags probably won't be an issue though, unless you're carrying a kid!

    I forgot to add: would it better to book tickets in advance online
    or buy at the TVG station to save me agonising over which train time to book worrying what if delay flight, late getting off place, queue in passport control, lost, etc :o

    I'm pretty sure it's the same price either way. They're also non transferable. If you're worried about getting the train on time, just buy the ticket on arrival. The queue is quite short, the huge queue you'll see will be mainly for Paris, not Marne-la-Vallee with TGV, which is the Disneyland stop.
    Train is very quick getting you there, and in my opinion worth the money.

    Hi, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where in Spain to go for a week's holiday in June OR in September. (Haven't decided which month yet).

    We normally go to Benidorm and love its' buzzing nightlife but we'd like to try somewhere else.

    Nightlife (not clubbing!) is important to us as we love cabaret/comedians etc and a general lively atmosphere...but nothing like Ibiza or anything as we're not into the "mad" scene.

    It's probably a lot to ask, but if you can suggest somewhere lively for us, you'd be doing us a huge favour! (Two adluts, by the way; no kids)

    Budget doesn't come into it as we'd rather choose the place first and then think about cost after.

    Thanks in advance :)

    I was in Barcelona last year for a few days and loved it. Being a city it will be lively at any time of year and weather will be great for either of those months. The beaches should be a little quieter in September so might be a better time to go and it won't be quite as hot as June. There's loads to see and do during the day and there's something for everyone with regards to nightlife. Flights should be cheaper here too since it's a busy route all year round (I got return flights for €60 last May). Also more accommodation options including hostels which are very cheap. I stayed in a really popular one and I had a brilliant holiday, thanks in large part to the hostel.

    The only downside is that it'll be a bit more expensive then the big tourist resorts, mainly in regards to drink etc. but I'd go their over a resort personally. It's also only about an hour by train to Salou where you have Porta Ventura theme park. I had a couple of family holidays to Salou when I was younger so can't really say much about the nightlife but I imagine it's comparable to most resorts.

    I'm trying to sort out a family holiday to Europa Park in Germany.
    Any advice on getting there?, I have to fly from Dublin to Basel, then getting to the park? where best to stay? (around 3star hotel) and how many days would you recommend? Any change of getting cheaper Park tickets somewhere too?
    Any advice welcome!

    Tk you :D

    Universal has announced a new ride for 2016, some good news for anyone planning on making a trip there next year!

    The rumour online is the ride will be trackless and surrounded by projector screens, largest screens in the world to be put on a ride. Another rumour is there will be an actor "driver" in the ride cart that will at some stage get pulled out of the cart.


    Source:Travel Weekly.com

    This week, Universal Orlando Resort announced that in the summer of 2016 it will unveil a new attraction, Skull Island, Reign of Kong, at the Islands of Adventure theme park. The move comes as Kong: Skull Island, a Universal Pictures film project about the good-natured, oversize gorilla, is in preproduction.

    Universal Orlando didn't tout the movie project, about the iconic beast's origins, when it put out the big announcement about the Skull Island ride on Wednesday. In fact, the company says there's no connection between the ride and the film.

    "Skull Island, Reign of Kong at Universal Orlando will have a completely new storyline not tied to any of the films, but the upcoming movie definitely shows the relevance of King Kong in pop culture,” said Mike West, an executive producer for Universal Creative and a designer of the Skull Island ride. He added that Universal is building the Reign of Kong attraction to coincide with Universal Orlando's 25th anniversary.

    “What better way to be part of that celebration then to introduce King Kong to a whole new generation that is not familiar with him?” he said.
    Whether the film, the 25th anniversary or something else has spurred Universal to put King Kong at the center of what the company promises will be one of the the largest attractions at its twin Orlando theme parks, one thing is certain: the colossal gorilla is an appropriate fit for modern-day Orlando, where theme parks are racing to build large, eye-grabbing attractions.

    Though it may well be a coincidence, the announcement about Skull Island, Reign of Kong came on the same week that Orlando Eye, the largest Ferris wheel on the U.S. East Coast, opened along the city's International Drive. Also in the works for I-Drive is the Polercoaster, which, at 55 stories, will be the highest roller coaster in the world, according to developer Wallack Holdings. The tracks of Polercoaster will wrap around the 460-foot-high Skyfall attraction, which Wallack says will be the largest drop ride on the planet. Skyplex, the theme park that will house both attractions, is scheduled for a 2017 opening.

    Thus far, Universal hasn't been specific on the details of how big Skull Island, Reign of Kong will be. But West did say that said that patrons will traverse through the Great Gate, which will stand 72 feet tall. In addition, the truck in which attraction goers will ride will be one of the largest that Universal Orlando has built.

    He described Reign of Kong as “massive.”

    “It's really about the scale and the size and the immersive quality,” West said. “I like to call it not a multidimensional but a multiexperiental attraction.”

    In this era in which outsized attractions are beginning to dot Greater Orlando, it probably didn't escape Universal that King Kong has been outsized since he first appeared on the silver screen in 1933.

    Over the indoor/outdoor course of Skull Island, Reign of Kong, guests will travel by foot through a dense jungle, maneuver through temple ruins and encounter hostile natives, West said. Once they climb aboard the truck, they'll pass through the Great Gate and into a dark world of caves and caverns. They'll eventually come face to face with some of Skull Island's hulking, prehistoric species and become engaged in a fight for survival. Finally, they'll encounter the gigantic King Kong himself.

    “He's the good guy,” West said.

    Skull Island, Reign of Kong, will be located in a new section of Universal's Islands of Adventure, between Toon Lagoon and Jurassic Park. No attractions will be removed, West said.

    Universal is yet to say how much space the ride will take up or how long it will last, though West said it will likely be one of the longest at either of the company's Orlando theme parks.

    West added that he's not yet sure whether the truck that carries patrons will be on a track or manually driven.

    This is an updated version of the original Insight, adding the fact that a new King Kong movie is in the works for 2017.

    Orlando, Kissimee in July. I've booked the flights and the hotel now all I need is park tickets but it's trickier than a mobile phone contract.

    I want 2 days in Disney World and 1 or 2 days in Universal. I want the Fast Pass all the way. 7 day tickets seem like a good deal so I might stay a couple more days there if it adds up.

    Anyone got the suss on how to shop for tickets. Better from home online or there somehow?

    I used

    http://www.attractionticketsdirect.ie

    Last year when I went to orlando last July. I cannot recommend them enough. They are cheaper than buying them thru a travel agent or direct with the parks.

    They also deliver them by post with a nice wallet and some DVDs and guide books thrown in.

    For Universal, consider a stay at one of their on-site hotels for one night, (not Cabana Bay though) check in early, 7am & collect your front of line pass for two days, so two days of no or minimal Q's

    Disney fastpass is free, you can pre book three attractions per day per park by time slot, 60 days in advance if staying on-site, 30 days if staying off-site, place will be jammed in July

    Fatscally has already stated that they've booked their hotel. Plus any decent hotel will offer a free shuttle bus to Universal and even in July a full couple of days will be enough to fit both Universal parks in.

    Says they want fast pass all the way, in July that will be $140 + tax per person per day for Universal Express unlimited or $110 + tax per person per day for Universal express (one time per ride) so maybe factor in that cost against staying one night at a universal hotel & get Universal express unlimited included in your stay

    No. Not on legoland site. Go to tesco clubcard site. 11 euro in tesco clubcard vouchers for one ticket.
    Have done it myself. Just order your ticket and present it at the gate.

    Going to Eurodisney via Cherbourg. Did it last year too. All went well until I got to boulevard peripherique. Spent about 2 hours on same with very young kids. Awful road. If not perfectly positioned in lane you risk losing mirrors from the multitude of motorbikes whizzing by. Like an anti-Christ when we arrived in Disney.

    Want to avoid a similar experience. Don't mind if route is longer as long as we are moving. Any suggestions?
    Sorry for Zombie bumping this thread but we're heading to Disneyland paris via cherbourg next week and i was wondering how you all got on using this route or if there have been any other route improvements over the last three years.
    Thanks.

    Kellogg's are doing a voucher for free adults tickets for Legoland. Vouchers can be found on the box of promotional packs.

    Just seen the thread in AH (here) about the Alton Towers Rollarcoaster Crash documented by the BBC here.

    Just hope all injured will be okay!
    "The resort's fully qualified first responders were on the scene immediately to assist with the evacuation which is ongoing, and the area has been closed to allow for access to emergency services vehicles."

    Thanks,

    Hi, I want to know if there's a way I can have my unused tickets given or sold to anybody planning on visiting Universal Studios in Singapore, expiring till 19 July 2015?? Bought 5 tickets back in January but was only able to use 2 of them, as the three others supposed to be travelling with me weren't able to get on the flight due to expiring passport (ugh!) they completely forgot to sort. So there's about 222 SGD/ 147 EUR worth of tickets down the drain. I only thought about this now, looking at my email confirmation. It does say it's non-transferrable but I don't know how strict this is as when I went, it was all self-service, just scanned the barcode on the turnstile, no ID or anything. Any advice?!
