    NB My OH found this quote online but it is actually indirect flights to & from which makes the travelling/flight times over 13 hours rather than the normal 4.5-5 (and I'm not a confident flyer at the best of times! lol)
    Thanks in advance!

  • Hi I wondered if anyone could beat my quote. I am looking to go to florida in november anytime I could even push to anytime in october if the price was right. There will be two adults and one 5 year old and one 2 year old. We want to go for 2 weeks prefer to stay on interntional drive in a hotel or similer with free shuttle to all the theme parks etc. Like I say our dates are very flexible to get the right price. We will be flying from any London prefer Gatwick. At the moment the best deal I have found is leaving on 14 november return 28 November staying at Crown Plaza Universal. All flights, Transfers and shuttle bus included for £2800 I am sure someone must be able to beat this? I f I had more time I would call all tour operators but really have not got the time ( need to earn the pennys for holiday!!) If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. PM me or reply if you can help.


    Many thanks in adavnce :)
