Hi, Iwas wondering if someone can help me, I am going to Florida in November (2 weeks in MIami and 2 weeks in Orlando) and I was wanting to know about Sat nav, do car hire companies give them out or would it be better to buy a cheap one over there. I would be grateful for any advice.
thank you

Hi we had the option to hire it when we booked our hire car.

and if you quote mousesavers to www.ticketmania.com you will save $10 off each Disney ticket. You get actual tickets from them with fast delivery and loads of brochures and vouchers. With the exchange rate being so good at the moment it's worth checking out the US sites for tickets.

I'm about to book a car for end of May but not sure of size I need ?

It is for 2 adults and 2 teenagers, plus cases (although only to I-drive).
I've seen photos of compact,intermediate etc. but find it hard to work out what will be best for us to use.

What can you recommend, thanks

just returned from florida and we booked 3 cars all intermediate my brother in law ended up with a honda accord they "upgraded" us to a mini van that had 8 seats and an enormous boot we swapped the next day and they gave us a full size dodge charger that was enormous!! but lovely! i am sure that an intermediate car would be plenty big enough.

Can anyone recommend a good site for villa/condo rentals along the Florida coastline? We are trying to find somewhere close to the beach but reasonably priced for the 2nd week in September and so far have had no responses from the websites we have found. I've tried the obvious Florida forums but they are all mainly focused on Orlando properties, which we have sorted out already.

These all have properties on Gulf Coast

Try https://www.villarenters.com - we've booked through there several times and we've always been delighted!

Get FREE dining when you book a specially-priced Walt Disney World vacation package for check-ins most nights 8/26/07-9/22/07. Purchase at least 3 consecutive hotel nights at an official Walt Disney World resort, plus at least a one-day theme park ticket, and you will get a FREE dining package (one counter service meal, one table service meal and one snack, per person, per day) for the length of your stay.

Essentially you get the Magic Your Way Plus Dining package for the price of the Magic Your Way vacation package! To qualify, you must purchase a package consisting of at least a 3-night stay at an official Walt Disney World resort hotel, PLUS at least a 1-day Magic Your Way Base Ticket.

This deal saves a family of four (2 adults, two kids ages 3-9) $99.96 per day -- the cost of adding dining to a basic vacation package.

You must book this offer by 6/24/07. The number of packages available at this rate is limited. Suites are excluded from this offer. No group rates or other discounts apply.

This package cannot be booked with a UK travel agent. Either book direct with Disney via their U.S. website

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw...reeDineNavPage

or use a U.S. agent such as Small World Vacations - http://www.wdwvacations.com/

I used Small World Vacations when this deal was available last year and they were extremely helpful.

To book the Stay, Play and Dine vacation package, please contact a Disney Specialist travel agent and request code ZHU.

Intermediate will be big enough. Try http://www.usrentacar.co.uk/ who have a free upgrade at the moment. They are one of the cheapest and most helpful.
