Did you pay for your park tickets in Dollars Gary?

[gpullan]

Yes i did, i waited until the $ rate went above 1.6 on FairFX and bought enough to pay for the tickets then just used my FairFX card to pay for them.

No losing out on exchange rate with my bank and no commission charge. [msnsmile2]

Saved around £30 doing it that way.

It is in the Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station. Cost us £100 for 9 of us (2 babies were free).

Arrive 9pm for buffet desserts, massive selection. Hot and cold drinks are available too. You can then stand up by a rail and have what is almost a private viewing of Wishes fireworks (Tinkerbell flies right over the location).

Once the fireworks are over you can then wait a little while before making your way out of the park.

Good position to see the fireworks, from the front side of the castle. If you know where the noodle station is then you'll get an idea of the location.

That sounds good. Will look into that but have to check out whether they can cater gluten free for eldest. Desserts are always difficult.

oooh the dessert party sounds fab! How much is it pp Gary?

[christhear]

Did you take a chance not having insurance when you booked the villa and flights - or was it an annual insurance that you renewed?

A lot of money to loose if things had not panned out[msnoo][msnembarrased]

It'd around $20 per adult and $13 per child i think.

Sounds lovely and to be able to get away from the crowds for the fireworks will be great!!!!
