Are there any good deals going on at the moment for Disney orlando? I would love to go anytime after the 9th July. We are 2 adults 2 kids age 11 & 4. preferrably direct flight from one of the London airports. But would consider 1 stop if it works out cheaper.

Posted a link on the last page for special offers. Do you want to stay in Disney? If so then book direct on the Disney website.

LOTS of radio adverts at the moment for it and yes they say it will be Virgin flights.

Despite all the advertising when I phoned to get a price for next summer they couldn't give me a price and had no idea about who the flights would be operated by. Someone on the Dibb phoned TCD and was told they are indirect flights I think the airline they said was KLM.

Hi everyone, we're flying from Manchester on 4 Aug (2 adults & 2 kids) and at the moment I'm looking for a good Park and Fly deal to stay over the night before. Can anyone recommend any good hotels? Hoping to go teatime and go for a meal somewhere to start the hols off!

15 kilo for long haul is a disgrace,i also think they are just as tight on the leg room no different to short haul.

I believe TC are running planes to Orlando with only 28 inch seat pitch which is quite amazingly poor

I've just joined what looks an excellent site as i am hoping to visit Florida with my girlfiend in Sept/October this year. I was wondering if anyone knows of the best websites for prices for the disney hotels. Its my girlfriends first time in Florida so i want to make the trip extra special for her and especially get use of the extra magic hours that come with staying in a Disney hotel

Any help would be much appreciated!

If you want a Disney hotel then Disney offer the best rates BUT and its a big but I would book via an agent such as MouseFanTravel.com as they can always apply any discounts that come out AFTER you have booked which is nice to know.

Also be careful of offers such as free dining etc as its not really free as the price of the rooms go up

I am off to Kissimmee on 11th July and I have a question for anyone who's recently shopped in the big Walmart on the 192 next to Medieval Times.

My son is autistic and will only drink Blackcurrant based squash. When we were there 2 years ago Walmart stocked Robinsons Apple & Blackcurrant amongst other British food products like Cadburys dairy milk etc. I would normally need to pack about 4 bottles of Ribena in my cases and they really do weigh things down. Has anyone been in this Walmart recently and can say if they still stock the Robinsons?

I know to many this sounds trivial but trust me that with an autistic child it is a BIG DEAL.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.:T

If you go to any of the Wal Marts in the English area so you the one you mention and also the one at Cagons Crossing which is on the 27 near the 192 they all stock UK based goods so that will basically be

- Robinsons
- Weetabix
- Baked Beans
- HP sauce etc
The even sell the Daily Mail

So you can get it if you need to. I tend to avoid these Wal Marts but I certainly understand you need for them.

Also you can try the World Food markets as well to get the things he needs.

cheers

They can in some cases go up but they are selling off the 1 bed apartments in the Deluxe Villa weeks for under £1000 pw (4 people) with free dining (middle package) on the Disney website. You cannot even stay in Pop/Value resorts for that price as you do not get free dining with those. They are not advertised with anyone other than Disney either, go via an Agent and you only get the hotels.

we used holiday extras at leeds last time we flew, and you get B&B and 14 days parking from £79 upwards depending on hotel choice. I ran your dates and the link is above.

Thanks for that,

Just checked with the two agents I know and they can both get this deal. But it maybe that they only knew about it after I mentioned it!

Thing it to look around and then contact your representatives and see what they can do.

Cheers

I doubt they sell many :rotfl:

Thanks for that though. The big one on the 192 is 5mins from our villa in Eagle Pointe so very handy indeed.
