    Hello wondering if any one could find me a cheaper quote.
    We are looking to visit Florida the end of August and plan on doing a split holiday.
    We will be staying the first week at a Disney resort hopefully with the Disney dining plan
    and the second week on site at universal as the second week we would like to visit the non Disney parks.


    Iv roughly worked this quote out can any one beat it.

    Flying out with virgin on 29 aug £544 pp

    Staying one week at Disneys port Orleans

    With Disneys ultimate 14 ticket and Disneys Quick service dining plan £1274

    Staying the second week universal royal pacific £686

    So all in with the Disney tickets £3048

    I've found that Travel City Direct are the cheapest for Florida holidays.
