    Disneyland is California Disneyworld is Florida.. news report makes you think it refers to Californa and not Florida?

    My sister said they had returned from Florida.

    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

    hi all
    great forum.following a tip from earlier(can't remember who posted it,sorry)i bought tickets today from charter travel,based in newbury ,ph no 01635 511011.a 14 day ultimate was £220 adults ,£195 child the cheapest i have seen anywhere and i did all the usual googling..after chatting to the staff however i bought the 7 day premium,with 7 days to go to the main parks and 7 more to the waterparks etc.that saved me £38 for my group.doesn't seem much but when i booked the holiday last year tickets were nearly £100 less.i'm sure 7 days at disney plus 7 possible days at waterparks etc will be plenty.after all a girl has to have some time for shopping,kids or no kids!

    Cheers for the good advice guys. I think we will go for beginning of May and try and avoid the rush! Will all the Parks and attractions be open?

    I think we will go for a villa as well so thanks for pointing out the good things about that. We have decided to go for cheapish rates of about £350 to £400 per week.

    Only other thing (to get the ball rolling) is the flights. What kind of price should I be expecting to pay at that time of year? I found one on last min . com for about £350 pp. Is that about right?

    Hello poeple,was wondering what your thoughts are in respect of minimum car insurance needed in florida.
    There 9 of us going and we will be doing 1x minivan (7 seater) 1x car because most have been before and will be doing different things this time (ive been 5 times,( 3 without car 2 with)
    I have always just opted for the Platinum or gold insurance, peice of mind etc. Am i paying for the tank of fuel and not much else or is this a better option.
    3 of us will be driving each vehicle at some point so we will need extra driver on insurance.
    TIA .

    We always go for the Platinum cover, like you say it's peace of mind, and when we looked into this we found that the cost of the Platinum cover was cheaper than adding the the extra charges for additional drivers, plus the tank of fuel.

    I used Charter Travel back in 2005 for flights (hotel booked direct with Disney) but they were very helpful in finding the best deal.
