    Wonder if someone can advise ... have been looking to go to Disney Paris next April / May for 3 nights 4 days. Problem is 2 adults and 3 children and rooms are only showing for 4. Can someone advise where to try for family room for 5 or better still give me a quote departing from Belfast? Thank you.,

    When you say flexible, how flexible? what is the last day you can fly out?

    Also can you make it clear on what the £2600 includes as it is a little unclear


    Flexible as in I can fly from Aug 27th to any day in September.

    The £2600 includes Virgin flights from Manchester to Orlando on 27 Aug, staying at POFQ including DDP (upgraded from QSDP) also includes hire car but this isn't required but I so far haven't seen an option for removing this. Also included are 14 day ultimate tickets to Disney theme parks. Thomson quote is the same but transfers are included instead of the hire car.

    Disney UK price of £1800 includes accommodation, DDP, tickets and transfers (no flights)

    Thanks

    Youmight want to double check your quote as Ive just priced it up with TCD and its coming to over £350 more than your existing quote. Ive added the transfers at £30pp but that the only difference I can see?? :confused:

  • Hmmm, that is strange as I called TCD and that is what they told me was included too. I didn't add transfers with them so that wasn't included in the price.

    It still seems that I would be cheaper to book through Disney direct and get seperate flights then...

    The Quote itself: £2600 and £1800
    Who the quote is from: TCD and Disney UK (no flights)
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Virgin/Disney Virgin airlines and staying at POFQ (Disney property)
    The departure Airport/Post: Manchester or Glasgow
    The Holiday Dates: 27th Aug 2010 onwards, very flexible for 14 nights
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    Any specific requirements: Direct flight preferable, upgrade to DDP or DDDP if price is right. Transfers included (no car) and Disney 14 day park tickets. Also see below for Caribbean Cruise!

    I have had various quotes, Thomsons offering £2700, Disney UK without flights for £1800 and TCD for £2600.

    I am also very interested in a Caribbean Cruise, not really priced this yet, but am hoping for an eastern caribbean cruise (DCL (been on this, or Norwiegen line preferred as heard good things, but open to others) 7 night cruise max but preferably a 4-5 night, to be added to the above holiday. Might shave a few days off the Disney trip as 18 nights total are probably the maximum I could go for.

    Curious to see what quotes I get.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sent you a pm.

    Yes definately looks that way. Depends what you could get the flights for I suppose. I might be wrong but I dont tink the 2010 prices for flight only are releaed just yet.

    Hmmm, that is strange as I called TCD and that is what they told me was included too. I didn't add transfers with them so that wasn't included in the price.
