+GATOULIS Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 guess 2, april 15 Inbound - May 22 Tip: Carry around the discount coupons you see in leaflets for restaurants in your purse. You never know when you might decide to eat in one of them and they do save money. Also discount coupons are available for some of the smaller attractions such as places like Gaterland, Airboat Rides, Skull Kingdom, Titanic Exhibition, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, Guinness Book of Records and crazy golf. These coupons can save you money and it is really frustrating when you decide to go to one and your coupon is sitting on the coffee table back at the villa. taken from here: http://www.lastminut...to-orlando.html Oh... emm... since I am collecting coupons...as a kind of private money.... can I have the unused ones?

+GATOULIS Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 guess 3 for April 15 outbound - August 12 tip: As for shopping there are 4 main malls. Beltz Factory Outlets and Premium Outlets for bargains, Millennia Mall for Designer Clothes and Florida Mall for High street fashion. Don't stuff your suitcases on the way out, and maybe even consider taking an empty one, as most people end up buying lots of extra stuff. Women's clothes sizes are two sizes down eg. UK size 14 is US size 12. Also don’t forget to ask for visitors discount at Macy’s and Bloomingdale Department stores at Millennia. (They give 11%, which is worth having). taken from http://www.lastminut...to-orlando.html Quote

+seekerfamily Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Guess #1 - 4/15 Leave NZ December 13 at 7 am Idea - Enjoy the Christmas holiday decorations at the different amusement parks. Disney does an excellent job with their christmas decorations. A lot of the characters have holiday outfits for great pictures. Epcot emphasizes how different countries celebrate christmas. Quote

We visited it this year. It is a 2 story house made of gingerbread and decorations - completely edible. They also have a staff member that makes small houses each day at 11:00 am (unsure exact time) and they have free gingerbread samples at that time. Quote

+keewee Posted April 15, 2012 Author Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) December is a little late... Where is everyone from the forums these days? Seems to be very few new topics or people posting in existing topics lately! Have they all fled? Or are they all out caching? Usually a coinest would attract mega-attention! Given there are so few people around and posting then I am relaxing the posting rule :- you can now post once per hour! Edited April 15, 2012 by keewee Quote
+GATOULIS Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 ok then... since it is now every one hour... (hmm.. even if i have to go to bed... ), Inbound - October 1st 10:00! Quote
+Fianccetto Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Keewee, hope you and your family have a great trip! I should have gone to bed ages ago, so won't post a suggestion/date just yet. Quote
+seekerfamily Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Leaving NZ October 5th - 6:55 am Idea Enjoy a day of fishing. Lots of freshwater fishing lakes in central Florida or travel 1 hour east or west to fish in the Atlantic ocean or the Gulf of Mexico Quote
+GATOULIS Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Inbound - October 6th 8:00 am! Idea... while I was searching to find for you and the cointest something... I saw this... and just because this year.. and actually... today or yesterday...in some parts.. was the 100 years from the Titanic...disaster... there is a Titanic museum in Orlando! there is a 1 hour guided tour through the world’s first permanent Titanic exhibition, which features the amazing stories of passengers and crew who survived the ordeal, a full-scale re-creation of the Grand Staircase, more than 250 artifacts and memorabilia from the 1997 Oscar-winning movie, Titanic. not bad right??? http://www.orlando-florida.net/things-to-do/titanic-the-exhibition.htm Quote

+ocklawahaboy Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 If your dates are into the fall/winter (here) there are some really great community festivals that can give you some real local flavor. The usually start in October and go into December. They generally focus on seafood and fine arts but there are a variety of them. Once your dates get guessed, (unless I've missed them) I can be of more help. Quote
+ocklawahaboy Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 I think they are obnoxious because I like paddling but there are a number of air boat tours around the Orlando area, that take you on the st johns river. One of the only ways you'll see that part of real fl. Quote
+GATOULIS Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) inbound - October 9, 9:00 am Edited April 16, 2012 by GATOULIS Quote
+keewee Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 Someone has got close to the Outbound date (when we fly out from Orlando), and someone else is closing in on the Inbound date (when we fly out of Christchurch)... I think we'll certainly have the dates today... Quote

+ocklawahaboy Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Have you thought about a side trip to st. Augustine fl. It's about 2 hrs from Orlando and is the oldest continually inhabited city in the USA. The old fort there is really worth seeing and only cost about five bucks per person. Quote
+mamoreb Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Inbound: October 23rd, 7:00 AM from Christchurch. Idea: American Automobile Association (AAA) has a lot of nice deals on accommodation etc. If you are member of a NZ car association, check if they have a partnership with AAA. Quote
