Great service as always
Everyone cares and it's like talking to a family friend. They listen to you. That's important.
Lily and Billy have yet again exceeded expectations - good ideas and support throughout. A great experience
Excellent service as usual. Andrew goes above and beyond!
Thank you to Michelle - who looked after us excellently and with great calmness and charm.
First class service - Gary is so helpful. I wouldn't deal with anyone else
I have been using DialAFlight for at least the last 15 years. They have always given me the best service that I could wish for. On one occasion due to an illness they rearranged my flights and got me home earlier. I just explained the situation and they sorted everything.
First class service from start to finish
As always. The management and the team are simply the best.
Always helpful. Quick responses to any query.
Considering all the changes made by the airline and by myself from the initial booking everything went smoothly
Noah provided the perfect hassle free trip. Thanks again for making travel easy.
Libby is amazing!
Very helpful. Frazer was excellent
Perfect as always. Elliott did a great job. Thanks
Claire was excellent. British Airways flight was fine, the food service was terrible and BA charging to book seats for our family of 14 was very disappointing.
Nicole was brilliant
Excellant fisrt rate service as always from Dale and the team.
As ever all details to perfection. Great service as ever by Kelly and the guys.
Lloyd is always really helpful. He finds great deals and puts together an itinerary. He's helped when flight times changed. I call him for all my flights.
Reid did a great job as always.
The ability to contact people out of hours was a great help when our flights were delayed and cancelled. Everything that they said they would be doing they did. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to book flights or a holiday.
Elliot was very efficient and helpful and left me with no hesitation that I could contact him with any queries.
Well done Teddy
I will certainly book through you again
Some of this flight might be intense, but trust your guide and be brave.' The words of warning came from Dr Jackie Ogden as our group gathered in the Link Chamber of the Pandora Conservation Initiative. We had already been through the Genetic Matching Room and been decontaminated for micro-parasites, and were being given the final sequence of instructions before being let loose on the alien planet.
THE ADVENTURE BEGINS
With the final motivational message of 'Rise to the challenge!' we were swooping off across the otherworldly terrain and lush foliage of Pandora on the back of a Mountain Banshee, the gigantic dragon-like beast from Alpha Centauri that eats people for breakfast.
Fortunately - or unfortunately, depending on your level of bravery - all this excitement was purely man-made. Or, we should say more accurately, Disneymade. Because we were in the Animal Kingdom theme park in the heart of Walt Disney World, Orlando.
A WHOLE NEW WORLD
Pandora: The World Of Avatar is the latest attraction built by the House of Mouse - with the help of film-maker James Cameron - in its vast Florida resort. It has taken seven years to complete.
While some Disney die-hards doubted the wisdom of such an obvious film franchise being successfully shoe-horned into this most naturalistic of parks, the end result is a 12-acre immersive environment that is so packed with features and special effects it would take a small book rather than one article to list them all.
It starts with the Floating Mountains that seemingly hover over the area - gigantic, 156ft-tall rockworks that are complete creatures and waterfalls – and continues through a junglelike panorama of immense complexity, studded with the bioluminescent plants from the 2009 movie that are all recreated in amazingly painstaking detail. They include some examples that react to touch and movement using specially developed sensors.
Cleverly hidden among the alien terrain - which mixes artificial plants with real ones from Hawaii and Africa - are two contrasting rides that take the story of Avatar into the future, 100 years after the war between Earth's Resource Development Administration and the indigenous Na'vi people.
RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
The Na'vi River Journey is a meandering boat ride through the Pandoran jungle, usingwith vegetation, a mix of animatronics and screen projections to create a stunningly realistic series of encounters with the flora, fauna and people. It takes an ecofriendly approach, highlighting conservation principles and real-world issues such as habitat destruction.
After this the action intensifies - Avatar Flight Of Passage kicks things up several notches with the aforementioned simulator ride in the company of Dr Ogden. Sitting astride a kind of stationary bike (and equipped with 3-D glasses), riders seemingly dive, twist and turn in through a long whirl over Pandora, taking in the sights and sounds that made the film such a visual extravaganza.
There also ought to be a special award for the Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse with its neon blue a there is such a thing as alien looking food, this is it.
Even James Cameron was apparently initially surprised at the huge scale of Disney's plans when they approached him with the idea of Avatar Lane. He said: 'I thought we were going to be talking about creating an attraction. Disney’s vision when they came to me was to create a land.'
ART & ENGINEERING
It has been reported that the area cost up to 500-million dollars to complete. It features music composed by the late James Horner and Simon Franglen, based on the original score from Avatar.
The final word, though, deserves to come from Disney's Zsolt Hormay: 'We had to use a lot of experts to help us with the technology. It needed a lot of different skills. It melds art and engineering. It is like finishing a painting, only in three dimensions - and with a lot of engineering.'
