Hello,
I was wondering if any of you have heard of travelcounsellors they seem to be genuine as they do have atol number!
Cheers

They are definitely genuine. They have a lady who is a Disney specialist on www.thedibb.co.uk - her username is CindersMum and I can highly recommend her (hope it's OK to post that here).

This is the main reason that we've been able to go at all. Because our school holiday period falls outside what the travel companies have taken to be the Easter season, we've managed to avoid the holiday price hike. Any other time and it would have been too much for us. Also the early Easter seems to have shunted Spring Break forward into February and March for most US colleges so hopefully that will reduce the numbers in the parks a little come April.

Us too! We booked when the brochure first came out(Nov 2006) and the day we go was the first day the prices went down after the Easter 'hike'. When the next version of the brochure came out thay had foved this date to the middle of the first week we are away! By booking early we saved about £800!

Unfortunately, this staggered school holiday system only happens every few years, when Easter is either very early or very late. next time will be 2011, as far as I know.

Does it pay to book early or is it best to wait as I know 2010 prices are out in april I believe

So we've got 3 years to save up then

we found it was better to book earlier, even though everyone said wait till nearer the time, we booked our holiday for florida this august, last june, if i booked the same holiday now(exactly the same date, hotel, car hire etc) it comes to £500 more with the same company, i know its not a lot but it is to us, that is £500 spending money to us, no doubt if you could wait till less than 8 weeks before you go, it would probably be far cheaper, but we could not take that risk, as if we could not get the dates we wanted, it would have problems with time of work, etc, HTH Dave.

Suppose it depends if you got the aheam balls to do it and I'm not that lucky, with booking early least you get loads of savigs. And as you said that money save can be use on other things

I would like to book a villa in Orlando (or surrounding area), but it must back on to a river, with a dock if possible (fishing) and have a pool.

I don't know the area very well and would appreciate it if some one could give me some areas to search.

Thanks

I think most villas will back onto lakes rather than rivers. If you do a search on www.thedibb.co.uk , I'm sure there was a thread about this a few weeks ago. Off the top of my head, there is Sunset Lakes (has a fishing dock), Grand Reserve, Formosa Gardens, there are a lot more.
