    Hi, we are looking to go to Florida next summer, possibly July 2012. There are 5 of us, our kids (well big ones) will be 21, 18, and 12. We do not want to stay in a hotel but a villa, and want car hire. We will of course be looking for park tickets (never knew there were so many) and are undecided whether to do this separately or not yet. Been looking at Thomas Cook as they have some good villa options, probably a 3 bed home with private pool.

    We have been looking at "Lake Wilson and Sandy Ridge Villas" or "Kissimmee" area, price looks to be about £4600 (inlcudes flight, car, and villa) - plus whatever park tickets we want.

    Is this a reasonable type of cost?

    Was tempted to try and book separately but want the reassurance of not missing anything.

    Any advise on price or places to stay very welcome

    I wonder if anyone can help please?
    We are looking for a holiday from Sat or Sun 23/24 April for a week. We would like to travel from any South West airport but could go to Birmingham if it makes a big difference to price. We are 2 adults and 1 child.
    We would prefer all inclusive suitable for a 6 year old. We are not worried about kids clubs etc, just a kids pool and near beach. We are happy to go anywhere.
    Am finding it hard to search as most web sites want you to name a location ..... we have no idea about locations!
    Cheap as possible please :)
    Any help would be gratefully received.
    2012 wins approx £11,000 including 5k to spend on a holiday :j
