1/ can you use Visa Debit cards?
2/Anyone hire a 12 seater in Florida how much?
3/ Theme park tickets, best place to buy them
4/ things to watch out for regarding being ripped off over there
1 - consider getting a currency card from Caxton FX or Fair FX. Load it up as if you were buying travellers cheques and use it like a debit card either for payments or as a cash card
2 - look at carhire3000 for a deal. Remember though, a 12 seater van won't have space for 12 people's luggage. I've seen so many arguments at Orlando with people who don't realise this and are then in no position to bargain with the hire company over the upgrade. Either get a bigger vehicle or, if you are not travelling around, it might be cheaper to get your 12 seater but send some people to/from the airport in a cab/shuttle to make luggage space.
3 - attractionticketsdirect.co.uk have been around for years and are usually good value.
4 - watch out where you buy your fuel as the price can vary tremendously. For example, if you use the gas stations on I535 just outside Walt Disney World they are ridiculously expensive (even up to $2 more per gallon). However, the Hess stations inside Disney are usually very competitively priced.
