Yes they look good but we can get a private owner on floridays and get a 2 bed for 2 weeks for £900 but the homewood suites are $249 per night so it might have to be floridays. We are taking the inlaws with us, they don't drive and are getting on but they still insist of the confort of villa type facilites but don't want to be in the middle of nowhere. I;ve been racking my brains for somewhere to stay where we won;t be abdoning them when we go to the parks.

We are staying in lake Buena Vista Resort and Spa in a 3 bedroom condo with jacuzzi etc.It has all the facilities of a villa (except you haven't got own swimming pool.) Close to all the parks.

There are facilities such as pub, restaurant, swimming pool on site and has shuttle bus to Parks etc. has excellent reviews on tripadvisor.com

We are trying to get booked for a party of 14 to go to Florida in July 2010. Villas seem quite reasonable to rent for 2 weeks but flights seem quite pricey - DH spoke to a man at work today who goes every year and he has not booked for next year as he says it is too expensive. Even the no frills airline that fly from Glasgow are the same price as Virgin.

Is it worth waiting or will the prices just rise?

Its a Brit Disney/Orlando site.Excellent, really but a little too big now. And an awful lot of repetitive questions!! But well worth a look through!

i find dibbs great and the bigger the better, just means we are helping more and more people enjoy a holiday in WDW

Whats cheapest?

1. Package Deal
2. Buy Hotel and Flights seperate

Me and the other half were thinking of going for the last 2 weeks of October. I would be grateful for any help, or pointers to any deals?

Thank you.

There are 6 of us going, we have a villa and it was much cheaper to book everything seperately.

Have you tried netflights.com? We couldnt find anyone who came close to their flights price wise. We are stopping off in Atlanta tho but for £1100 for 6 people its worth it we felt!

hi everyone, we have just booked flights for florida for next aug - this will be our 5th time and we are looking to do new things - for a start a pit bbq and a drive in movie - anyone tried these? We thought we would book into a hotel for the first night and make our way to our villa the next day - does anyone have any favourites about 1 mile from Orlando International that are cheap on family rooms (of course) and do a good breakfast inclusive... many thanks.

Hi, sorry I missed your post until now. I have just made an offer on a very small resale contract. I want to get into the DVC system as I want to buy at a couple of resorts (BLT and another) direct from Disney but not at minimum buy in. Hopefully I will here back today if my offer is accepted and then I need to wait for ROFR.
