Given the cost only do it if the children will remember it. We didn't do it first time but did when we went back. A very expensive outting but worth the money. Everything is taken care of the minute you arrive and included in the cost is all food, drinks, snacks, wetsuits (you can change styles as often as you wish!), towels, shampoo, shower gel etc.

I don't think it will ocme down much from that unless it is really last minute. In Jan it may come down a bit, but it is a risk and £199 is good.

im looking for advice for accommodation . I have booked flights and am looking at the liki tiki resort in Kissimme and also Quality Inn Plaza and was wondering which would be best for visiting, as i wont have any transport...can anyone advise>?:

Also try Comfort Suites Maingate East. You get a free buffet breakfast which saves you time and money. It's a really nice hotel beside old town Kissimmee.

They have on site transport which you can book. But you may be better off staying on IDrive if you have no transport. I think it is more options for non car travel.

Me and my wife have just come back off our honeymoon to orlando and the bahamas, we enjoyed it so much but we only got a week in Orlando and we really want to get back next year for two weeks to see more, This time we booked a good hotel etc. When we go back we just want a real basic hotel, we just want to use it as a bed really, as long as there is a car included it doesn't matter, we're looking at going the last week in June next year, does anybody know the cheapest way of getting there? Book flights hotel seperately? Book through a travel agent?

Any advice will be gratefully recieved, thanks in advance

Cheapest fly drive with insurance I can get for early July is with travelcitydirect but it is for 2 weeks. Virgin flydrive prices are not much cheaper than getting a hotel too so I would suggest having a look at Virgins website for a package. Probably cost from about £1500 for flights, car (including insurance) and hotel for a week.
