I would reckon that time is very busy, given (I assume) the schools are out and the parks are therefore full of kids and long queues as a result.

Is your price just for flights? And where are you flying from?

That price is just for flights. I would like to fly from either Cardiff/Birmingham or Manchester but could be flexible on this. The 12th July is two weeks before the most of the kids in the Wales/England break up for ther hols.. I think..

Same price I'm getting.

I'd suggest you wait 'til nearer the time, as a lot of operators have not yet released prices for that time.

Don't know if anyone is interested, but Virgin Atlantic are offering economy flights on 3rd October to Orlando for £491, and premium economy for £591.

We are flying a few days later, and our PE flights cost £1100 each, so this is a massive saving

Yes, that sounds right.

The thing to bear in mind too, is whether the USA schools will be on holiday then (which the vast majority will be) as they have far more of an impact on crowd levels than we do

July is very very hot and humid as well as busy; unless you are tied to those dates (I'm tied to school holidays myself, unfortunately!) I would go earlier in the year (May's nice) or later (October's lovely).

Need some info about your preferred departure point, and if you've searched for flights yet?

New Year is beyond hurricane season, so you're ok there.

Money saving tips - quite a few on this thread, requires a bit of reading. Ditto for do's and dont's.

Florida is always warm, never dips below 70.

They are not mentioned much because they are dung.

They have had a host of problems, particularly recently, with flight delays and cancellations, primarily due to them having a small fleet of planes.

They also ensure that you must buy either car hire or rent a villa with them, at extortionate costs by comparison to the aforementioned methods.

I'd stay well clear.

you must have had a bad experience then because every dealing i and my friends have had with travel city have been exellant

You'll find you need to buy the phone in US to go with the sim card, Walmart sell one for around $15.
