    Thanks Steve. That's a really nice message. So glad I was able to save you a lot and I really hope you enjoy your trip

    Oh and if anyone is wondering why Steve's saving went from £150!to £240 it's because he decided to go for a better hotel on a nicer beach.

    Hi Tiya

    I cant save you any money on the flights as its cheapest to book those direct

    I can save you £50 on each of the hotel bookings so
    Loews Royal Pacific for 6 nights - 2 Queen Beds and Water View Room = £1220 is £1170
    Hilton Orlando Bonnet creek for 7 nights - Disney Fireworks View + 2 Queen Beds = £990 is £940

    Saving you £100 overall
