Orlando Florida/Disneyworld (Part 2) *CLOSED*

if you stay at a disney property, you get booked into Disneys magical express, which is a deluxe coach run by disney picks you up from airport, takes you to your hotel, and your luggage is 'magically' in your room! and takes you back to airport when holiday over.
best of all its free, so a car is not essential!

I'm trying to organise our first Disney/Florida family holiday.

2 Adults and 2 kids (14 and 9). Does it work out cheaper doing a package holiday r through one operator (please can you give some recommendations) or is it better to book things separately. We are hoping to go either Easter or Feb 2009. Probably left it too late for Feb 2009. Is it better to stay in a Villa or at the Parks? We've stayed at the Parks at Disneyland Paris and that was brilliant but not sure this time around. We need flights from Gatwick.

Apologies for all the questions but am use to organise short European holidays
.

Sorry, but from personal experience, if you're looking for the school holidays, you'll be lucky to find any major tour operators with any availability for Easter 2009.

Never say never until the fat lady is signing I say....

Are you able to maybe take your kids out for the allowed ten days per year?? If so you can still get some OK flight prices for like the last week of Easter and then the week after so the kids may well miss one week.

We are flying on Easter Sunday (12th April() for two weeks and managed to get flights OK.

Play with the dates and see what you can do......

If you're thinking of doing a package, go in to your local travel agents and get them to do all the work! They can easily search through the available packages and you are under no obligation to book it after all. You can then do your own research on t'internet to see if you can do it cheaper.;)

No, the ultimate tickets are just for Disney parks.

If you want a multi-park ticket for the Universal parks you'll need either:

Orlando Flex ticket
which covers Universal, Islands of Adventure, Sea World, Wet n Wild, and Aquatica.

OR

Orlando Flexticket Plus
which, in addition to the five parks mentioned above, also includes Busch Gardens in Tampa. This ticket also includes coach travel to/from Busch Gardens - picks up and returns to allocated points in Orlando.

if you are there for 14 dont buy a 14 day disney ticket and a 14 orlando ticket, you wont get full use from eother and will cost a fortune! i have never been to universal parks (im a true disneynut) but you can do both univerasl parks in 2 days, so at the moment you can get a 3 day for the price of 2 universal ticket from the universal website. prob will be plenty of time to do at a managable pace!

Don't know about other TOs but, from Experience, I think Virgin will start taking bookings around the end of November for Easter 2010.
