    Hello,

    I've never booked a long haul holiday in my life, so looking for any help/prices I can get!

    Hope somebody can help.

    We're looking for the following:

    2 Adults
    Newcastle to Orlando
    Ideally flying weekend of 19th July for two weeks (Best price on flights I can find is £495 from Manchester)
    Hotel or Villa close to parks

    I hope that is enough and I've done this right!

    Many thanks to anyone who can help us newbies out.

    Was quoted this yesterday on holiday.co.uk and booked it on there with credit card. However have had a phone call from them today to say flight is no longer available and will be £80 or so more.

    So i would like to go to the hotel listed around that date and can be flexible, airport either Birmingham or East Midlands pref but if much cheaper can do Manchester.

    Thanks
