Florida 2014

Hi. We are a family of 4 looking to go to Orlando in May or October 2014. Is anybody able to provide us with some idea of price. We would stay in a villa and hire a car. It would be for 3 weeks. Are we looking at say £7000?? Just looking for a rough guide please. Thank you.

    We have recently paid £4,200 to stop at a suite for a family of 4 in May next year for 2 weeks, children will be 14 and 11.That includes car hire. I'm reckoning on the same again for spending money to include the cost of theme park tickets.

    I'll be highly delighted if it comes to less but a quick calculation suggests that it'll be around £1700 for tickets. That's for 14 day ultimate disney, 2 day universal and a trip to kennedy space centre. That knocks me down to £2.5k. We will eat some meals out and I have a teen, eating from the $3.99 kids menu isn't going to happen, so we will be paying for 3 x adult meals. It works out at about £44/45 per person per day. Can't see me getting much champagne.

    My mistake. I thought that you were going for a 14 day Florida holiday. I've no experience of the Florida themeparks, so I haven't got a Scooby what a 14 day Themepark holidayin Florida would cost.

    Have a look at the Dibb forums.

    We have just paid £6000 for 2a2c in July for 15 nights - 2 in a universal hotel and 13 at a disney one including park tickets for both Disney and Universal. We also have free dining plan for the days at Disney. Lots of money but I'm pleased with the deal I got. We booked with Charter travel, they provided the best quote for us
