    Have only had chance for a quick look but can't find any better than you've already found.

    Personally, I'd pay the extra and fly direct, particularly if you haven't got to pay for accomodation, but I'm a grumpy old woman and would only fly indirectly if there were no other choice!:D

    If your dates are not flexible and there are several of you wanting to be on the same flight, I'd say book now.

    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Fair enough, from what I remember I think Virgin & BA often have sales around late Aug/Sept time.

    you can change your ticket 'voucher' at any disney guest relations. they have one in every disney hotel, there is one at downtown disney, and of course every park. this year i have bought the vouchers as it seems to be cheaper (every little helps) and its no big deal waiting for a few minutes to get them changed. plus if your staying at a disney hotel you can have the voucher added to your room key (aka keys to the world) so you only need to have one card with you.

  • Hi I have been reading this thread with interest as we are looking to take our 3 children to florida Thanks for all the great ideas etc A friend works in a travel agent and she has said virgin have their preview brochure out for next summer I asked her to get us a quote This is what she came back with (I would appreciate feedback from those of you who know the hotel etc and whether you think this is a good price)

    Wed 19th may 14 nights
    2 adults 3 children
    Bahama Bay Resort
    car hire (not got fully inclusive car cover included as those prices aren't out yet expected to be an extra £320 ish)
    Free upgrade from 2 bed apartment to 3 bed apartment
    All this for £3093.00

    Considering a quote we got for Feb 1/2 term next year 14nights at Fairfield inn came in at £3528.50 I thought the may price wasn't bad as it will be warmer.
    Thanks
    Thanks to MSE savings we got to go to Disneyworld Florida.

    hhmm ,

    have just realised that the time i have booked flights for seems to be the rainy season !!!!!!!!!!! is the weather in june in orlando really really bad ?
    have i booked at completely the wrong time of year ?
    well that explains why the flights were cheap !!!!!!!!!!!


    oh well, at least coming from the uk kind of prepares us for this, have been to alton towers in the rain many times before !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    heyho, will still have a great time im sure , albeit it a little damper than was anticipated !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Duckychick. June is fine, when it rains its normally a warm rain and its only [usually] for a few minutes. It can get very humid but June should be fine!
