    Thx Sar. Glad I could help and I hope you have a great trip.

    Just for info everyone I am away in Spain this week seeing the new Ferrariland Theme Park so won't be able to beat any prices until Monday 8th. Other agents may reply though. I just wanted to explain why I won't be replying.

    Hi Lorna

    Im assuming this is 2 adults and includes Transfers - we don't have prices on Virgin that far ahead I'm afraid (Even Virgin don't have that far ahead on their own website if you look) - closest I could do would be on the Thomas Cook flight 2 days earlier on the 5th at £4800 saving you £400 or on the Thomas Cook flight 2 days later on the 9th for £4800 again saving you £400

    Hi isitme?

    I can do this like for like with the Half Board offer and the Tickets for £75 less

    You should note as per Disneys Terms Breakfast isnt included in a Standard Room whiuch is what the £1838 before discount gets you. Their website states as fiollows -

    The price includes:

    + Room
    + Disney Parks tickets
    + Half Board Meal Plan (quick service breakfast in Disney Parks, and lunch or dinner in a selection of restaurants across the Resort)

    Please note:
    • The price of the breakfast is not included unless you have booked a suite or a room in the Castle Club, Empire State Club, Compass Club or Golden Forest Club. Please, book it in the next step!


    If you pay by debit card you will save exactly £75

    If you pay by Credit Card our fees are a bit higher at 2.25% so you will save just over £70
