Hi bigmc1_9

Manchester is the cheapest option - nothing cheaper further north that date

We can beat the price - you need to book a bigger room though to accommodate the infant - its not much more - i'll explain when we speak - and i'll explain how we can book the infant before birth/name etc

Hi Team

Been shopping around and this is the itinerary.

2 Adults, 15yr old (at the time of departure) and a 4yr old.
Fly out : Tuesday 4th April (London, Manchester, Bristol, Midlands...). We have said we can fly out 4th,5th,6th or 7th but looks like the 4th is cheapest all round.
Fly back : Tuesday 18th April
Resort : Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa (Pool View 2 bedroom only)
Location : Florida, USA
Will book hire car and theme park tickets separate at a later time.

Ebookers can give me the following:-

Flight
Outbound - Virgin Atlantic - London Gatwick (11:45am)
Inbound - Virgin Atlantic - Orlando (5.25pm)

Accommodation - 4th April to 18th April
Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa - Pool View 2 Bedroom

Flight + Hotel £3,352.90
Savings -£395.19
Taxes & Fees - £1,573.61

Total - £4531.32

I chatted with ebookers today and they said this includes the "resort fee" that the hotel charges. It's normally around £182 for the 2 weeks

Anyone beat that quote - feel free to ask any questions but hopefully you can see what we are trying to achieve.

Thanks in advance.
