For those who are keen to buy the VIP tickets from myfun, do note that today is the last day of offer. I just purchased mine.

Thanks for reminding
May I know how you collect the ticket? Print out from web?
Do we need to provide local contact number and address?
Just wonder, we don't need unlimited entry till June, is there any other alternative package...

Go to http://www.myfun.com.au. Select the VIP pass and click on buy. You have to key in the names of the ticket holders and one contact number and address. Thereafter, make payment via credit cards. After payment is done, you will be able to print the tickets and they will also send you a confirmation via email. According to the confirmation, we have to produce the tickets to any of the ticket booths of the 3 theme parks and they will take photo of you and issue you the pass.

We also don't need unlimited entry till June but I guess this is the best deal we can get. If I don't remember wrongly, I paid about AUD90 for one ticket entry to Sea World and about AUD100 to Movie World 8 yrs ago so this is a good deal to me.

Bought Adult pass for my 13+ ds since adult and child are same price, else afraid they may reject if buy child pass.

Yeah. Got the themepark tickets online last Sunday. After calculation, found it cheaper to get the 10% discount individual tickets for both SW and MW. This is because there is an offer of a free admission for one themepark for your child’s birthday. My DD’s birthday falls in late Nov so she’s saved us on 1 child ticket.


After my DS’ exam this week, will go full out to plan the itinerary and further online bookings.

For those going to GC in December, do remember to prepare the sunblock, hats, comfortable clothing and umbrella. We went there 2 years back and it was really hot. Sort of kill the joy of playing at the theme park as it’s hot.

My kids and I are very afraid of heat. Hopefully it won't be so hot in end Nov/early Dec.

Wah! Welcome to Gold Coast! It's not that hot lah! About 24 degrees and at night, it turns cooler. Best to rent a car, you can get places very quickly and driving here is fun. It becomes warm only in February. We expect lots of rain in Jan/Feb, but for now, not so. I'll be in Singapore for Jan/Feb though. Yes, remember your umbrellas.

You sound like a native of GC. Then I'll be asking the right person here: What's the convenient way to pay for toll as I'll be renting a car travelling from Brisbane Airport to GC, and return vice-versa? I'm still scratching my head as to how and where this should be done. People say that you have 3 days to pay via telephone or something? :scratchhead:

[2ppaamm]

Hi Puffer, go to http://www.govia.com.au, and pay the toll you incur within 3 days from the day you incur. If you rent a car, sometimes the rental company would have put a credit card with the car. In that case, the credit card will be charged all the toll for that period. You can then pay the rental car company the toll.


Check with the rental company what is their policy. In any case, if you are sure you cross a toll gate, it is best to always call them just to check, or go to the website. A bit kiasu. Or register your credit card with the car's registration number for the period you are driving.

If you prefer to call, this is the number 1 3000 46 842.

Hope this helps! No I'm not native here. I just live here during term time, and I go back to Singapore during summer.
