Orlando/Disneyworld Thread (Part 3)

nuttyp

We have just checked with thomas cook, thomson and cosmos and late 2012 dates have been released. We ended up with cosmos as they are considereably cheaper for flights, £99 for an upgrade. At least you have plenty of time to save, and its something to look forward too.

We would of loved to fly by virgin, but with 7 of us, its out of the question.

Does anyone know where we can do an offroad experience near LBV? OH and our teenagers want to do something like this, and so far havent found anything. Is daytona raceway open for a test drive???

You might have selected Orlando as your holiday destination because you wanted to visit Disney. Do not worry about the accommodation; the prices at Disney vacations homes are very cheap and affordable. The facilities offered here is truly world class; it is a pleasure to spend some time here! But make sure you book the rooms well in advance.

Hi

Hoping someone on here might be able to help, we are trying to plan our seconf trip for Oct 2012, the first time we went we stayed in a hotel in Int Drive, but this time we would prefer a villa. We have priced flights coming in around £2700 for 4 adults and 2 kids. The trouble is I dont know where to start finding a villa can anyone recommend any sites etc.... What areas are best to stay in villa accomodation Kissimee, LBV?? Anyone any ideas how much we could get a decent villa for, for 2 wks.

Many Thanks

I would suggest having a look at thedibb website. Lots of info there specifically about villas

a bit of help please as all the information is a bit overwhelming

i am looking to go to wrestlemania next year which is in Miami
but am wanting to also do Orlando

now i am wanting go for 3 weeks and was wondering will it be cheaper to do Orlando first then go down to Miami or the other way around
i am thinking probably 5 days in Miami and the rest in Orlando

second question looking at flights is there really a best time to buy depending what answer to question 1 is we will either be going middle of march or beginning of April, is it best to buy now or maybe wait till its closer maybe nearer November

and third and final question we are not wanting to drive so i read if you stay on i-drive thats probably the best location without a car but can anyone recommend a nice but real cheap hotel which offers shuttles to the parks

big thanks in advance

Hi

Who have you got flights from for £450pp that seems very good for next year, especially booking so far in advance?

Thanks

I'm looking at packages to Orlando, and have found the same deal with Cosmos that is about £500 cheaper than Travel City Direct for 2 adults and 1 child.

Has anyone ever tried the Travelcity Direct pricematch guarantee? Their flights are with Virgin which I've used before and very good, which is why I wouldn't mind them matching the Cosmos price.

Or has anyone travelled with Monarch to Orlando before? Never flown with Monarch, so wouldn't mind some thoughts.

Thanks!

Monarch hasnt a patch on Virgin, they would only match like for like
