you can go for a week for that price with inghams and not be knackered afterwards - are you really set on going for a day as it really is a waste of money for what you get0

Hi everyone,
We are looking to go to Florida in Nov 2012 for two weeks - we are a family of 5 with 2 adults, 3 kids (age 5, 10, 14). I have had a quote for flights from Gatwick, 3 bed villa with pool, car hire and 14 day unlimited Universal/Disney tickets for just over £6k.
Is this roughly what I should expect to pay - or could I get it cheaper? I was hoping for about £1000 less but wonder whether I am being unrealistic?
Thanks for any help x0 -
