Any good deals to Orlando for Xmas?

I know it`s a popular destination at Xmas but where do I start looking.
Leaving from Manchester or any North West airport.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

We went to Orlando for xmas last year, stayed at a Hotel on International Drive, booked with Virgin, cost a bloody bomb, going back this year and have booked a beautiful Villa, with pool etc which works out very reasonable, booked flights through Opodo which were cheaper than going direct with BA.
Got our villa thru https://www.lastminutevillas.net/ u get a HUGE response so be warned but there are some lovely ones on there and all good prices!
Oh one other thing, watch which day u fly out on, we are going on boxing day and its much cheaper than the lead up to xmas!

Our villa will sleep 12 so if u r going with another family u can split the cost!

Try and fly into Orlando International as Sanford Airport is a way off, if u book your hire car thru Alimo or Dollar u can collect and drop off at airport.

Try looking for flights departing the UK on boxing day.
A friend of mine got a fab bargain 2 years ago - and a half empty plane!

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me but here is some useful information

Manchester to Orlando on Virgin 21st/29th December - £1610 for 2
Dublin Via Manchester to Orlando on Virgin 21st/29th December - £705 for 2

Same flights with an Aer Lingus addon, booked through Expedia, £905 less for 2 extra flights.

Check it out for your self, the only problem is that they will want to check the luggage right through but for me Dublin is closer to home than Manchester anyway.
