Well whenever I've been to USA we've always hired out a car and it's been pretty easy then as your not waiting around but I'm sure the traffic would be terrible trying to get out of Orlando.

I'm seriously thinking of going next year too, although I'll probably end up going to Ibiza again or something. Undertaker and Austin as Inductees would be awesome.
I think Flights and 4 days accomadation would probably be around £600 each online, plus £100 for the ticket, and about £250 for food and whatever.

Depends on your age as far as transportation. If you are old enough (21 or older) I would rent a car with a gps unit. If you are not old enough I would use the taxi service or look into hotels that have a shuttle which will save you alot. At Wrestlemania 22 in Chicago we stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn which is close to the arena and they offered a shuttle bus to and from the arena or any area within 5 miles... if we needed to go anywhere else such as the hall of fame ceremony or the mall they called us a taxi. At Wrestlemania 23 last year we decided to just rent a car with a GPS unit. It gives you alot more freedom and the GPS units are really helpful.

Out of curiosity, what hotel was already booked full a year in advance?
As for the travel thing, you might have to take a taxi to get to the Reliant Park since the two major airports are pretty far away. Depending on what hotel you're planning on staying in, Reliant Stadium could be in walking distance.

the hotels will not all be booked. It is very rare for a hotel to take bookings over a year in advance. They are like airlines and usually open the reservations up from 8 to 11 months in advance. Give it another month and you'll get whatever hotel you want.

I'd suggest just getting the WWE Travel Package. It gives you 3 nights at a 4 star Hotel, and of course tickets to all the major events.
That's the way I've done it every year since WM 4...
They have sevral different tiers of packages. All include the same thing, just the seating changes....

It applies to anyone, doesn't matter where you live. It doesn't cover airfare.
The prices vary greatly depending on how many people you buy it for. (the more people, the less expensive)
Here is a ROUGH price break down based on 2 people -
Silver - 1350.00 total
Gold - 1700.00 total
Platinum - 2500.00 total
All include the same ammenities and gifts, it's just the Platinum purchasers will typically be 5-9 rows back, Gold first risers, and Silver in the nosebleeds.

I'm planning to take a trip out to Wrestlemania next year. I've never been what with living in the UK and seeing as it's "25" and Austin and Taker as rumoured HoF inductee's I REALLY want to go. I'd be by myself by the way. LOL. I think I'm ok with booking plane tickets and passports etc. It'll apparently take between 13 and 17 hours. As far as hotel's go this is my biggest problem. I wanted to check the prices for 3 nights in hotels in the Reliant Park area, where WM is held, and the prices came between £150 and £250 which is fine. But I put my preferred dates into one hotel's site for April 2009 and they were fully booked! So does anyone know if this is usual? Does the 'WM area's' hotel's book up fast? How much of a chance will I have of getting 3 nights in a hotel if I book in a few months? (when I've saved some money) Next is the Wrestlemania ticket. I think WM tickets for '24 went on sale in Nov.? So how fast do they sell out? I'm sure WWE was saying that for 'XX they sold out in like...2mins or something? Is it really difficult to get tickets, or if I start ringing/go online a few mins before they go on sale, will I be in with a chance of getting a ticket? Remember I only want one seat. Travel. What is the best way of getting around in America? Is it by bus or taxi or some other way? The last time I went to the US was about 15 years ago lol. What would be the best way to get from my hotel to the stadium? Excluding food/souveniers etc. the trip should cost around £725 which is about $1500.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can give some advice!  Austin & the Undertaker are not being induct next year to HOF . instead texas legends like the funks & von erichs are being inducted next year in Texas not Austin & Undertaker.UNdertaker is going to lose his streak next year at Wrestlemania 25 |

^^^ Lol, I don't mean to sound rude but how do you know? You sound extremely confident. And Austin and Taker are also Texas legends. I know not in the way Funk's and Von Erich's are but still. I only heard about Austin and Taker from a friend so I have no idea, it does sound doubtful to me though I admit, but w/e.
And thanks for the info guys, helped alot!

I live in Houston. As long as you can find a hotel on the east side of town near the 610 freeway you'll be good. We have a TON of hotels/motels so I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find something close

And thanks for the info guys, helped alot! you are not being rude at all . i undestand why you ask. WWE will not put both undertaker & stone cold at the same time into HOF . i have heard from terry funk that were trying to induct the funks & von erichs for next year . terry funk does not want to be inducted but WWe still wants to inducted funk. also undertaker is still wrestling & will not lose or retire til wrestlemania next year. |

I know someone was inquiring about hotels rates in Houston and by Sunday we will definitely know where Wrestlemania 25 will be held. As for making reservations now I tried making a reservation just to check what the rate would be and it doesn't allow this early. The farthest in advance they do is 50 weeks.
Now here are the two hotels which are directly across the street:
Crowne Plaza Hotel Reliant Park, 8686 Kirby Dr., Houston, TX
Holiday Inn Astrodome, 8111 Kirby Dr., Houston, TX
I'm hoping they do go back because like I said before we were there for Wrestlemania X-7 and had the best time even though I almost got left there because being my first time there I did not know there were two airports in Houston.

The WWE Packages sound the best bet, but my only problem is that flights aren't included, so it would be an extra £200 odd each on top of that price. I think it would still work out cheaper that way though, as all the HOF tickets etc are included, only it's for 3 days instead of 7.
How good are the Gold Package Seats usually? I take it would be about 20 rows back, wouldn't it be hard to see?
