I've been to a few three band concerts usually its something like: opening band 20-35 minutes, second 35-50 minutes, and headliners: 60-90 minutes. so all and all i'd say you're looking at anything from 2-3 hours roughly. i know its a pretty vague answer but its hard to be specific. depends on the artists really, if you Google the concert tour name, you might actually be able to find a set list, which should give you a pretty decent idea of how long the concert will be.

That way, if you want to hit a park for a couple hours in the morning then go back to the pool, you can and you won't feel you are losing your paid-for time. <br /> <br /> Universal has two parks, which will take approximately 3 good days to cover thoroughly in the summer. Disney has four parks, which will take a minimum of 4 days to begin to cover. You'll probably need 2 days for Magic Kingdom, 1-2 for Epcot, and 1 each for Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. <br /> <br /> There's also Sea World, which is an easy 1-day park.<br /> <br /> So as far as what to see and the cheapest way, you really need to consider how much time you are willing to devote to the parks. Obviously, you can't spend one day at Disney and even put a dent in the entire resort, but you could choose to spend one day at Magic Kingdom and cover the best attractions. Or you could spend a whole week doing nothing but Disney every day and still not have done everything. <br /> <br /> As far as ticket discounts, they really don't exist for these premier parks. So the price you see on their websites is the price you get. So you also need to think about the price vs. how much time per day you will spend. You don't want to spend $80 for a ticket and only go to the park for 2 hours before deciding to go back to the pool. You will want to rotate your lazy days with your park days. And on park days, you want to spend the great part of the day at the park.

I think you can get a Universal Studios 2 day pass which works out cheaper than buying a ticket for Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure seperately. There is also the Orlando FlexiTicket, we have never used these but I've heard a lot of people saying there good value. You can get a lot of discount vouchers for attractions like Ripleys and Wonderworks when you get there, just keep a look out in the shops and supermarkets.

While some guests might wear tuxedos, etc., there are many folks in jeans, shorts, or whatever is appropriate for the weather.<br /> <br /> There are some outstanding food carts around town. If you're from the east coast, that'll seem pretty silly, but it's true. Experimentation and creativity are at a maximum at many food carts due to the minimal financial overhead and risk. Check out a complete list and reviews at http://wweek.com/megasearch/ (click on Food and select type "Food carts").<br /> <br /> For NW cuisine in town:<br /> * Vita Cafe, NE 30th & Alberta http://www.vita-cafe.com/<br /> * Old Wives' Tales, 13th & E. Burnside http://www.oldwivestalesrestaurant.com/<br /> * Portland City Grill, 30th floor of Big Pink at 5th and W.

While some guests might wear tuxedos, etc., there are many folks in jeans, shorts, or whatever is appropriate for the weather.

There are some outstanding food carts around town. If you’re from the east coast, that’ll seem pretty silly, but it’s true. Experimentation and creativity are at a maximum at many food carts due to the minimal financial overhead and risk.
