    Can anyone beat my quote for holiday to Orlando
    • The Quote itself: £600 Each
    • Who the quote is from: Teletext holidays
    • Is there a booking fee: No
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Jetline travel
    • The departure Airport/Post: Glasgow (Any Scotland)
    • The Holiday Dates: 11th October - 18th October. Can also travel + or - 3 days to this
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    • The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Various choices on international drive
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): Room only
    • Any specific requirements: Possible extra - small car hire

    Would preferably go for 2 weeks as the price isn't much different, but can manage to get to London - if we were to go for 2 weeks then we would have to leave on 9th October, 10 days is also a possibility. We can travel from Aberdeen to London and can book these flights ourselves if it can't be included. Would consider any good accomodation (villa/self catering/hotel)
    Thanks
