Thank you I will have a look, we are looking to go for 14 nights0 -
Thanks you all for the valuable information you have given, to be honest I have no clue on what option to take, I think I would prefer a villa but the flights are coming up over £2000 so not sure whether it would be cheaper to do it that way? will do some more research many thanks again:A0

A nice private villa is not really comparable to a budget hotel on i Drive in fairness. If absolute cost is the main issue I would expect that a package like you describe will be possibly cheapest
You should be able to find a very nice 3 bed villa or condo with pool for around £400/£450 per week off season, possibly less0 -
You'd be best answering a few questions to get the best answers on here to be honest.
Are you planning to do all the major theme parks?
Are you planning on driving? A villa is not the best way to go if you're not.
Do you have a strict budget?
Is there flexability to the date or is May the only time you can go?
I've been 3 times and I'm going back in September this year. Personally I always book the flights and hotel seperately. I prefer the hotel option rather than a villa as its only me and my fiancee that travel so a villa isn't worth it for 2. Plus, although we are getting a car this year, a lot of hotels offer free shuttle buses to all the major theme parks at convenient times. This will save you parking and petrol fee's if you're looking to save by doing this and can completely eliminate the need for a car altogether if you shop around a bit.
In all, it depends entirely on what you want out of the holiday. My personal preferences may not be yours or others on here however there are a few good tips to be had on saving money if you're on a budget.0
