Who did you book through? That's a massive difference.

Direct through Virgin.

I didnt add the increased insurance to my quote so it was 650, I managed to get £450 off my holiday. Also got an upgraded car.

Not too unhappy.

We have just booked flights to Orlando for August 2015, and now need to look for a villa.

We are looking to stay at Highlands Reserve (other members of our family are stopping there, but have booked a full package with Thomas Cook).

A quick look on the web reveals a number of booking agents where I could book a villa. Can anyone recommend a booking agent and/or provide any general advice on things I need to look out for.

Thanks!

We use owners direct never had a problem with them. This far out you should be able to negotiate a good deal

Currently at The Park Inn in Kissimmee - have a craving for some good BBQ - is there anywhere that someone can recommend? Got a car so no problem to drive ��

A good steakhouse recommendation would be appreciated as well!

Hello, I have never been to Orlando (or the states for that matter), but have now promised our family (hubby and 2 grown up sons) to take them there in February 2015. We have booked our flights and hotel, so far so good. We had a look at the tickets and I would want to buy the Flexticket plus for 6 parks (I think) and we also want to go to Epcot but just for 1 day. Where and when to I best purchase the tickets? I have a good credit card for spending abroad, so prepared to purchase in $ but don't want to buy from any unsafe site. Are there recommended sites and is there much difference in price from those? What should I look out for? Thank you all in advance, this is defnitely the most planning for a holiday I ever had to do. But it's fun!:j

We enjoyed the Longhorn on the 192 a few weeks ago

Epcot is included within the 6 park flex ticket - You get the two waterparks, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom & Hollywood.


We booked through Florida Tix via TCB

I used http://www.homeaway.com/ when booking last year and will do the same this year. Never had any issues. Very easy to do.

I look for somewhere with a number of good reviews.
