Florida...

Hugbubble

Hi all

Hope you can help.

I would like to go to Florida next year, spendign some time in Orlando and the big attractions (eg Seaworld) and then some time at the Florida Keys.

What is the easiest (and cheapest) way to arrange this? Doing it all independently or are there companies which do these multi-site packages?

Any advice appreciated!

Almost certainly booking separate but give operators a try see what quote you get then look at it yourself and see what difference is.
With the flights to keep costs down look at all options like flying scheduled but at different destinations you could use Orlando,Miami or even Tampa.don't forget to check the charter flight prices in to sandford aswell

I'd book a return flight to Orlando, the accommodation as a separate entity, then hire a car. Hotels are easy to book and cancel over here, and would offer you far more flexibility.

I prefer to stay in the slightly less frequented locations and that's so much easier to do if you make your own plans. Also, if you decide you want to stay in one location for a few extra days, it's very easy to amend your booking.

You might want to have a look at www.roomsaver.com

It offer good deals that you can check out in advance, but hardcopy up-to-date versions will be available (for free) in just about every tourist info / welcome centre in the country.

Happy planning.

Are you dead set on the Keys...
The Gulf coast is only much closer and IMO far nicer too.
Unless you are fishing / boating / diving the Keys does not offer a great deal. I love it for my fishing holidays but would not take the family down there.

Plenty of accomodation at both Orlando and the Keys.
You could probably fly down to Key West / marathon island.
Cheapest way would prob be to book your own car hire and accomodation.
There are some fantastic houses for rent around Orlando owned by Brits.... We paid £750 for a week for one that slept 10 and was FANTASTIC! We have also stayed at motels locally for as little as $45 per night for a room that sleeps 4!

Its great fun.
