    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 x
