[GhostTrain]

for 16 days in orlando with 3 friends in sept

flying with virgin so hopefully we will get on a plane with super mario or mario kart

will buy park tickets later

man its gonna be sick

 

[POB]

If its from Gatwick, you might not get Mario,

They leave the old junky planes from Gatwick.

 

[GhostTrain]

yes it is from gatwick during my research i found out it was 25% chance if u got mario

hope we get it

 

[Morba]

virgin to NY didnt have mario, just some other random crap games.

 

[Toker]

how much is that costing? I'm looking at going there with my girlfriend in the near future

 

[GhostTrain]

that would be vort which they are going to move completely to

it has stuff like instant messenger to other seats and virtual casino and other stupid games like who wants to be a millionaire

not as good as nintendos but still good

i have done my reseach

 

[GhostTrain]

v: port

 

[Greenlizard0]

I'm totally confused - games? Mario?

 

[Morba]

I'm totally confused - games? Mario?

yes, all seats have tv's which have many channels and games on. v: port isnt too bad, but it has no mario.

£419 per person for flights
1 room @ £397 for whole 16 days so works out at around £100 per person
park tickets will cost about £250 for all disney and universal, seaworld, busch per person
then u just need money for food and transport

probably wont get a car as if u are under 25 its and extra $25 a day so i chose a hotel with good location for non drivers on international drive. might still change minds when we get there

food is cheap just go to all u can eat buffet like sizzler before u get to parks and when u leave. its about $6 per person for breakfast and about $15 for dinner and its good food aswell

dollar so weak atm means it will be cheap

u can go for cheaper with companies like travel city direct but they force u just to go for 14 days which isnt enough if u want to do everything

overall i am estimating £1150 per person max for the holiday excluding any shopping sprees to take advantage of the weak dolla

on sum planes u basically get a super nintendo in your seat

Vort on the LHR routes is much better for overall entertainment even if the games suck.

Video on demand is much better then the small selection channels of videos that go round in loop on an older plane.

The music on the old planes they have about 6 cds stuck on a loop, so after an hour the cd starts again.

I find the quiz on v:port really fun! I managed to get top spot against 15 other people on the way out to NY recently

I love the movies they have on there and the control over the system. It's a brilliant system IMO.
