Reputable Orlando Theme Park ticket websites? -

I am trying to find package deals on tickets/hotels to Orlando, Fl. I have found some websites that have good deals but I am scared that these are fake websites or that they aren t very reputable websites and that I may get scammed if I purchase from them. Does anyone have any good suggestions of REPUTABLE websites for Orlando park tickets???

There are some AUTHORIZED dealers. That s who I would purchase from. AAA if you are a member, or http://www.mapleleaftickets.com or http://www.undercovertourist.com

I have used mapleleaftickets.com and found that kgstickets.com have some really good prices. Both these web sites are listed in the book Unofficial Guide to Disney world, so I would deal with both these places. I had maple leaf deliver to the hotel I was staying at and the tickets were there when I arrived. You can also check out dwtickets.com and mousesavers.com. Mousesavers will list some replicable web sites. Also check out touringplans.com this is the site of the book. They will give more information and might list other websites.

There are many companies that offer great package deals on tickets/hotels in Orlando, FL. These companies I found offers package deals on tickets/hotels to Orlando, Fl:http://www.theorlandovacationstore.com/http://www.southwestvacations.com/http://www.orlandovacation.com/For ticket I found these websites in top search results:http://www.park-tickets.com/http://www.floridaorlandotickets.net/http://www.orlandofuntickets.com/http://www.officialticketcenter.com/http://www.universalorlando.com/home/home.aspxFor hotels:http://www.grandbohemianhotel.com/http://www.orlandoqualityinn.com/

I have been to Disney 3 times and New York this year and use attractionticketsdirect.com for ALL our attraction tickets. they send you the actual tickets and NOT vouchers that you need to redeem when there, I m always wary of these ones, cos once they have your money there is nothing you can do over there. this company has sold us tickets for disney, universal, discovery cove, and all the new york ones, they are a reputable company in my opinion and will use them again and again.Hop ethat helps, and I hope you enjoy your holiday in Disney.

Photo camera at rollins amp; millbrae, Millbrae Ca.? -

I received 2 citations within a couple of days for not coming to complete stops before turning right onto millbrae (towards us 101) from rollins road. At @ 6:00 am. $464 per citation, nice

Right now, many cities need cash badly, so they turn eyes on every driver, and installed cameras everywhere and issued citations a lot, people complaint or protest, but you can t do anything.

So what is your question?

Has anyone been to KIIS FMs Jingle Ball in os angeles? -

Can someonwplease give me some info KIIS FM s Jingle Ball ???population/is fun??

WoE s not quite correct. KOST, which is the Christmas music station, started at exactly 9PM on Thursday, November 13. Not quite October, but I see his point. Playing the same songs over and over can drive some off the edge. As for Jingle Ball, if you like current pop music, then go. They always have a bunch of hot artists. It s been that way for many years. Go and have fun while you re still young. Here s a review by a rather hoity-toity OC Register critic:http://www.ocregister.com/entertainment/��My thoughts are that if I was in my late teens or twenties, I d go and have a Ball .

KIIS? I try to boycott clear channel stations since one of their stations has been playing Christmas music since the middle of OCTOBER, Whats worse my dentist has that station playing in the background, I feel sorry for anybody that will need some major treatment around the 20th of December. ahh you need a root canal, Lets do it right now. NO NOVOCAINE! Let s sit in the waiting room and watch the fun and frolic :)

OMG OMG OMG Its off the chain i went last year

How come there are no more good shows in Las Vegas? -

Ever since 2003, there have been NO good shows in Vegas! Anyone else think so?

Ever since Siegfried and Roy left, vegas has never been the same!

There was an attempt to make Las Vegas into Broadway West, but it failed pretty badly. But there are still some decent offerings (1) Jersey Boys, (2) Phantom of the Opera, (3) The Lion King. The Cirque Du soleil shows keep multiplying. 1) Mystere, 2) O 3) Love 4) Criss Angel 5) Ka 6) Zumanity, and 7) Viva Elvis, along with La Reve by one of the founders of Cirque Du Soleil.

that s up to personal taste.I think there s been plenty of awesome shows to name the newest, KA by cirque du soleil is pretty incredible. I haven t heard one bad review from friends or family that have seen it.but if your taste is more the old style glam and glitz type shows, then I think you may be out of luck because the direction of Vegas entertainment is moving away from that style.

Siegfried and Roy was a good show but there are still good shows in Vegas. Jersey Boys and Cirque du Soleil: Love are both good show. And if you have never seen the Blue Man group they are well worth your time.

Danny Gans was very good before his death, but Cirque du Soliel shows are hot or miss.

jersey boys and blue man group may change your mind about there beingno more good shows in las vegas.

Remember Gallagher?

Should we visit Alaska by water (cruise) or land? -

Every year we do a family vacation. Typically, this means packing the tent in the SUV, and hitting the road to discover some new part of the Western US, where we live. Every 5th year, however, we splurge on a big vacation, and 2010 is our splurge year.This year, we are planning on going to AK! We are debating between taking a cruise or flying into Anchorage and exploring via rental car/RV. We love exploring nature, seeing wildlife, camping, and hiking, and love to get away from the crowds and enjoy our vacations on our own terms... spontaneously, with a flexibly-planned agenda. That said, we think that a land-based vacation in Southern AK would be our best bet.However, we are also strongly considering a cruise for the following reasons: 1) None of us have ever been on a cruise 2) We love the ocean and sailing on boats 3) Airfare, hotel, vehicle rental + food may cost MORE than a cruise 4) We live in Seattle, so we could drive to Seattle and/or Vancouver for the cruise ship, limiting/eliminating airfare altogether 5) For seeing the inside passage, the logistics of a cruise ship make total sense (BTW, we ve also priced out the ferry system, and it seems pretty pricey too!) 6) It is totally different than our non-splurge vacations where we spend so much time in the car, so the kids would probably love the change of pace/scenery.For those who may be saying, why not do both? I couldn t agree more! What could be better than taking a cruise from Seattle to Seward, and then renting a car to explore Southern AK, staying in hotels along the way, and then flying home to Seattle? This would be awesome, if the cost weren t prohibitive!So, if you were in our shoes, what would you do and why?

Suggestion. Save your cruise money. Get a camper or RV. Drive into Canada (Prince Rupert) and catch a north bound Alaska Ferry. You ll spend about 3-4 nights aboard (not exactly comfort of a cruise ship, but not Hotel Baghdad either) . Get off in Haines and take the cut off north and join the Alcan Highway and drive into Alaska. Drive to Fairbanks, Tok, Anchorage, to Seward, Homer, Valdez at your leisure. Then drive the Alcan back home. You will see the same ports as on the cruise ships (but not in them for long) and much of the same sights.

Pitch a tent in the back yard. Run a power cable to it. Plug in a TV and tune into Discovery Channel along with a few DVD s. You won t get sea sick or eaten by any bears or the bugs. Plus look at all the money you will save. l

I live in AK, and I think I would personally would take the cruise up to Seward. Just because the inside passage is so interesting! Then start your land tour there. Be sure to take the Alaska Railroad at least from Seward to Anchorage. Its their most scenic route and is beautiful. Plus I heard that car rentals are more in Seward than they are in Anchorage. But if you want to ditch the car, you can take the train as far north as Fairbanks. Feel free to email me with questions!

I have been on a cruise that started in Washington and went to Juno, two other Alaskan cities, and Victoria Canada. It was beautiful... by far the best vacation I have even been on. The cruise line will help you find all the cool things to do in each city. In Juno, my family and I took a helicopter ride to the top of a glacier and got to ride on the sleds with sled-dogs. Also, the cruise may be safer than driving in Alaska.

Land. You get to see so much more. there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
