So Continental do Edinburgh-New York (change Plane)-Orlando (change plane)-New York-Edinburgh?

Yes continental fly between EDI and EWR so you could fly to new York connect with a internal to MCO then return to have few days in NYC and fly back to EDI from EWR.
At a guess I would say you could do internal flight with continental aswell to keep all flights with same airline.

Thanks!

Do you recommend any "cheapo local" airlines that I can use.

Delta... but they are rubbish, don't expect a great service.

I went in march this year and weather was sunny but a nice temp and comfortable.
Next year I am going mid sept and that is supposed to be nice and comfortable aswell.
Have a look on the dibb website loads of Orlando info on there

I've flown with Delta before and could not fault the service provided!

I was kept waiting at the "speedier" online/baggage drop off check-in, they eventually opened check-in 15minutes before the cut off time. I was treated like an idiot for asking about the green form mentioned in their out-dated video. Had a bag of peanuts practically thrown at me and the stewardess had legged it before I could say I'm allergic. Had to wait untill 10 mins before sheduled take off on an internal USA flight to find out if I even had a seat on a flight I'd booked before my friend, who was allowed to pick his seat online (booked through same website with my credit card). Every plane of the the 4 on my journey took off late, at least an hour.

And according to my friend their seats are horribly uncomfortable compaired to BA.

Just back from 3 amazing weeks. We did everything we wanted to do and was ready to come home. Had a few incidents - would not be anything but for us, and my son left his bag in the guest house car which is now costing me £75 to retrive by courier - but happy days. Now back to reality!!

If you have ny questions then ask them while they are still fresh in my mind.

And HPW - go in the late afternoon, it was a walk on for us plus through the castle which took 10 mins (we had already had a good look around on the Monday as the ride was closed) but no queue to get on the ride at all. I'd also have been very disappointed to queue 2 hours for Ollivanders!!

Flown BA & Delta, could not really notice a difference in comfort of the seats...well nothing that attracted my attention.

I had a better service on Delta than BA - BA you had to keep going to get your own drinks with Delta they were around every half an hour!

BA were an hour late taking off with me...with Delta to make my connection someone from the airport picked me up on a cart and drove me through the airport.

So I guess everyones experiences are different!
