What is the best way to sell Orlando Informer Meetup tickets? I am not able to attend the November 15, 2024 OI Meetup, and would like someone to at least get the tickets at a discount and just need to assign names to the tickets. Is there another platform that does't have a bunch of fees to make arrangements between two parties? Thanks!
Want to book a trip to Europa Park for next October when booking becomes available soon and was wondering if anybody knows if you have to pay at the time of booking or if you can pay shortly before check-in?
Thanks!
I booked a ticket for 3rd of November which is 3 days from now and an emergency happened. Are the tickets bought from their application refundable? If so how to initiate a refund? I tried looking around and couldn't see an option to cancel or refund tickets. Nor could I find the cancellation policy on the app.
Is Dollywood really worth the price and hype? I'm trying to compare to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for Christmas stuff...even Kings Dominion. First, roller coasters aren't priority for this purpose...family rides, individual slow stuff (bumpers) are fine. I don't know what other parks are good along the east coast for the holidays. I hear about Dollywood, but then I see YouTube videos and not sure it's worth the $92 a day price tag. We do enjoy shows but are all the shows just bluegrass and religious stuff for Christmas? We do enjoy the train rides, but Busch Gardens also has one. I don't think Kings Dominion offers much in shows, was just thinking for the price point and some holiday lights out there, it may be a viable option. I'd also like to hear opinions of the workers and overall guest atmosphere too. Thanks!
Are there other parks, besides cedar point, that have hotels on their property. One thing I really love about going to cedar point is when I want a quick break from the park we can run back to the room for like 20mins and it's super easy because breakers is right by the magnum entrance. What other parks have a hotel on the property? Or, what other parks have a super easy hotel to go to for a break if needed.
Hello! My family just got back from the closing weekend of the fall festival at silver dollar city and it was PACKED! I can only imagine going during Christmas is worse! So we are debating going the weekend after Christmas (27-30) or the last weekend of the Christmas celebration (Jan 2-4). What would you do? I feel like January could be less busy but our recent experience at the closing weekend of an event makes me wonder which would be better! Thanks everyone!
our fridge is full of passholder magnets 😋
We're visiting Europa Park and stopping in Moxy hotel as all the official park hotels were booked up. This is just across the road from the Bell Rock.
I know entry to the park near Spain is only for official Europa Park hotel guests, but can you exit the park through the hotels? This would save us about 30 minutes walk having to go all the way back through the park to the main entrance.
I know we could just try it, but at the end of the day with tired kids, we don't want to head to an exit only to be turned away and have to back track.
Thank you
Hello, we have a spare day in Rust and wanted to visit Europa Park but the tickets for today appear sold out online. Any chance they will sell us tickets on site? Thank you!
Hi guys! My soon to be husband (also my carer) and I were hoping to celebrate our engagement at a fright night at Thorpe Park.
I’m physically disabled and I hold a Red Access pass as I am unable to stand for extended periods (as in to queue). Also I have mental health issues which mean I need a carer/friend with me at all times. Specifically, physical health issues which have happened in public whilst I was alone have caused me to get anxious about their reoccurrence.
Unfortunately, I found out today there is no room for us to pre book ride access. Thus I would not be unable to go and we’d have to cancel. Obviously it’s our engagement celebration so we’d really like to go.
Our final option would be to pay for an Ultimate Fast Pass to do the same job as an access pass. We’re considering this as obviously the date is important. However, we can’t really afford two so again we’d have to cancel.
My question is, if we got one fast pass for me, could my carer also use it to come on the rides with me?
Has anyone had any experience with ride access being booked, what is the likelihood there is space before end of season?
Thank you for your help on this really specific query!
So, in Arizona ive been working for the nearby attractions in Scottsdale. However, its nearly impossible to live off 19 an hour there seeing as rent stands near $1,800. So im just curious and also seeking out advice and any tips. Im moving back out to California, hopefully to work for Disney, KBF or any other parks. But whats the best place to look for apartments? How do you do it by yourself? Where's the best place that you may know of? Do certain jobs help find housing even? Any tips id really need! Thanks!
Hi we are based in London and looking for a short winter getaway with our 2 year old.
We previously spent 2 days in Disney land Tokyo and he loved the parades (especially the big nightly one) and rides over there.
I was wondering what parks are the best in Europe for a similar experience?
We’ve previously done Efteling, and Disneyland Paris but not with a young one. Was wondering if we should revisit those or try others like Europa.
Edit: Thanks for the recommendations! For those proposing europa park, what’s the easiest way to get there if we fly into Germany? Would be keen to avoid driving if possible
Since I’ll be there for a whole day, I’d really like to know what’s the best place for lunch. I am not interested in breakfast or any snacks, just lunch. Also, are the prices there too high and if so, should I then take something with me for lunch?
Give me your opinions?!
I prefer Velocicoaster
So went to islands of adventure today. On my last ride, 15 minutes before close around 6:45, we headed for Jurassic park and there was no line. We walked on and the attendant that lets you to the different rows/gates told us to go and the gates were open to get on the ride and there was another attendant behind the electric gate. So I’m walking, with my wife behind me, and I’m crossing the gate looking at the attendant and then suddenly halfway through, the gates start closing on my hips and I made an instinct decision to squeeze to the other side. Im so happy that I did because the lady who controls it tried to reverse it but the mechanism doesn’t allow. Naturally, I was upset but there was kids around so all I could was look at her and mouth to her why she would do that. They both did not apologize nor did she explain why she wasn’t paying attention. They also didn’t even care to ask if I needed medical help. Came out with some pain and I took the names of the two attendants and left. NICK AND LEXI at Jurassic park, if you’re are reading this, I hope that you understand that people’s lives are at stake here and whatever reason you had to close that gate on me, it is not enough to risk someone’s life and future. What should I do now to make sure no one ends up in the same situation? Who should I contact? Who would actually care enough to care about this negligence? I wanted to post in the Universal subreddit but it would not let me post there.
I'm planning on visiting europa park the last day of their halloween event 3rd november.I had some questions since I really never went to a major amusement park like europa park.
1- does the 1 day admission ticket include all the rides and all the shows?
2- what is the best way to plan my one day trip there? I'm mostly interested in must go on rides and halloween vibess
3- where to look for cheap accommodation near the park?
Thanks in advance.
We have a 3 year old who is about ~38 inches tall. We recently discovered she is a little thrill seeker who loves fair rides, haha. And not just the slow ones either -- she likes the Scrambler, Tilta-whirl, etc. So we'd like to take her to an actual theme park for some fun rides.
Which of these parks would be best?
Going to Dollywood for the first time next week. Excited for roller coasters, obviously, but also keen to not miss any great shows, foods, drinks, or other walk through attractions that are worth seeing.
If anyone has any tips, I'd love to hear them.
Visited it this weekend. Pros:
Cons:
And there's this. Park maps available in ? French. All announcements? French. Attractions with an accompanying story.... in French. Oh funny, you can buy a cookbook with 40 Asterix themed recipes, available in ... French. Of course, Asterix comic books ... French. Only some written safety guidances have translation in English.
I’ve lived in Florida my entire life and have been to every theme park there several times.
I have an alternative to Disney that is much cheaper and WAY more fun for kids and adults alike.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. Not only is it cheaper, the attractions they offer for kids are better imho. They also have as many animals as animal kingdom (maybe more). They also have at least 7 major roller coasters. With a fraction of the traffic that Disney has.
I’ve been trying to tell people this for decades now. Disney is overpriced, overrated and overcrowded.
We used to foster children and our kids always had way more fun at Busch Gardens.
Hi everyone!
If I want to go together with my friend on a ride, but we don’t want to wait in the line, how do we go together in the same time? We both have got the tickets on our apps, but we got them separately.
