    Booking Florida direct with Disney, I thought you lot on MSE were after bargains. If you want a WDW holiday, do it yourself and save bunches of money. Disney is the most expensive everything in Florida.

    Even Virgin Holidays are cheaper than WDW -I love Virgin but - the're not the cheapest - but I'd rather have better service than cheap personally.

    Remember "The bitterness of poor service remains long after the sweetness of cheapness has gone!"

    Booking the flight with Disney is expensive, yes, but you have to do your homework. I've paid less for my flights by booking a fly drive and we are not using the car.

    Virgin want to charge over £2.5k for the Accomodation for one week that we have paid WDW £964 for. Tickets are the same price - in fact you get extras for booking them with WDW.

    If you read some of the Accomodation is on Special Offer.

    When you fly all that way for a huge holiday you want something special sometimes cheap just isn't worth it - we would rather stay somewhere nice and pay extra for it if we have to. Only this time we didn't. We was going to use a timeshare week but it was not worth using it as buying the week from WDW was better value. We will save that for next time.
  • You might want to avoid Florida in September, it hurriacane season!!

    Actually, June 1st to Nov 30th is hurricane season.

    We went in Feb and a tornado hit 20 miles away killing 2 people. You just never know.

    And only a few of the biggest storms have been in Sept: http://www2.sptimes.com/weather/HF.1.html
