We are trying to plan our trip to USA next year and want to book a villa. I am a little worried about booking an independent villa and wondered if anyone had a tip to give us some come back if something goes wrong? Or can anyine recommend a company to use?

Go with virgin holidays, they are great and do good prices to. Use your tesco vouchers to get money off to.

If you use Virgin holidays, they are a reputable company but will use bog standard villas. If you go direct to an owner you will get so much more. I used www.orlandovillas.com one enquiry is sent to all owners within your criteria and they will reply with availability. We booked Rookwood Villa http://www.florida-villatorent.co.uk/ via Orlando Villas and didnt regret it. Orlando Villas has a forum and you can ask anything you like there, some/most owners post there too.

If you use vhols it will cost a lot more.
There are plenty of Florida villas available.
Have a look in the Orlando thread and google the DIBB you will get loads of info on everything Orlando including the best accommodation

Thanks for the advice. I contacted Virgin and for 18 nights they want about £1300 in Feb/March 2011, which I though was ok? What do you think? Also is Feb/March a good time to go?

Finally, where is the best place to buy park tickets. The direct sites want £240 for disney and £205 for a flex ticket. Is this about right?

Orlando Villas is fantastic! We bought our tickets via their link too, plus the car-hire.

try florida sunshine. We paid a small deposit and the rest the day after we arrived. You can even choose the exact villa you want
