BlueSkies0087

Here is a good one Floridaholidayplanner.com
I used them and they planned the full 2 weeks for me told me where to get tickets etc and saved me all the hassle.
Recommend them all the way. They are having trouble with the website but just email them and they will help you out. Tell them Steve from Brighton sent you and im sure they will chuckle

Two things: Do UK DVDs work in American DVD players and also we have four hours at New York airport on the way out before we get our connection. Will we be able to leave the terminal? Thanks for any info.

Hi Looking at going over in Nov 2010 when is the best time to start booking,book in advance or nearer the time
cheers

Flights will be cheaper in advance, keep looking at the providers for your route and grab the cheapest when the tickets become available.

BA normally have a sale in JAnuary - going in November you should find a reasonable price too much trouble.

I hadn't thought about that TBH, American DVD players will be a different region to ours, so quite possibly our DVDs wont work, depending on the age of the player your trying to use.

Luckily I have a Tesco value DVD player that's not much bigger than the DVDs themselves, I think I'll pop that in the suitcase, just in case.

(Although I'm hoping the kids will be worn out by the evening and want to go to bed, I'm not going to hold my breath though :rotfl:)

Hi Fiver29, were you planning to plug in once you get to the US? If so the voltage will be different and it won't play.

I thought UK products worked fine in the US, just needed a worldwide adaptor? When my sister went to live over there she took her entire house contents over there and only replaced them slowly

Some things work in the US, but slowly, others have dual voltage switches (such as some hairdryers), but unless your DVD has a dual voltage converter it is unlikely to play. There are some things you can cope with working slowly, but not a DVD player. You can get DVDs in Orlando that are dual region, but they tend to be more expensive than here, as here you would pick them up to watch imported DVDs before they are released, in the States there is less demand, mostly from the Brits who live there watching stuff sent from the UK.
