    It isn't too bad a price but could be cheaper if you would fly with someone other than Virgin.

    How old is your child? What Airport are you flying from?

    Have a look at https://www.directholidays.co.uk or https://www.travelcitydirect.com

    I've just had a look at Travel City Direct for you.

    Leaving on the 27th August from Gatwick - 5 flights and 7 seater car rental is £1873

    You should be able to get a private villa for around £450 - £500 per week.

    The total cost of the holiday would be around £2873 a saving of over £600

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Have you though of doing a fly drive, if you then booked a hotel direct with disney and at l3as a one day ticket to make it a package you ocould have the free dining plan, work a table service meal, a counter service meal and a snack for everyone for free (usually $37.99 for adults and I think $12.99 for children). That could save quioet a lot on food while you are there.

    If you do that then you will need to make two bookings as the maximum booking is 10 days, but you can make two.

    I've just had another quick look, if you book the Villa through TCD as well the whole holiday would be £2663

    That is over £800 less than the Virgin price.

    But do you have to fly with TCD too? If so I'd rather run another marathon tomorrow (just did the London on Sunday) than travel with them despite low low prices - you get what you pay for, beware!

    cheers ;)

    I've flown both TCD and Virgin and yes Virgin are 10 times better but for the sake of £800 I'd go TCD. After all it would buy a lot of park tickets.
