Travel city direct matched a deal for us when we took 15 grand children plus all meals and drinks(soft) we free, the car hire was direct outside the arrivals terminal so ideal for first timers to get used to the roads as they fly into sandford, it a smaller airport.have a great time.:T

What I advise to do for Disney is to purchase an annual pass for one of the adults. You'll get free parking for a car then as well as discounts for alot of the restaurants, shops, Downtown Disney and more. The money you pay extra for the pass is a few quid more granted but you will save heaps if you're planning on dining and shopping at Disney:) When we were there last October, it was $11 a day so even just the free parking alone was worth shelling out for the pass!

We want to go to Orlando on 19th june this year for 2 weeks.
Best deal we have seen so far is £1053 for 2 adults, 1 child and 1 infant. Staying at the quality inn, Kissimee ( I think). We need to add car hire on top, as even though it is included in this price, their cheapest add-on insurance is £280 on top.
Is it best to book now, or are we likely to be able to book for cheaper about 2 weeks before we go?
This deal is with First Choice, which seems to be the cheapest around, although they will charge an extra £50 if we want to book to sit together on the plane!!!!!! :eek: They really take the mickey with all the extra charges!!!!

So, book now, or book later?

Sorry, one other thing..... on the subject of tickets.
Do you think the flex ticket is the best idea? Cos we promised our 9yr old this Disney trip, but the Disney tickets are really dear. Would flex tickets be ok, with maybe paying for a single day at Disney?

Disney ticket is not much more than Flex. I paid £159 for disney 14 day ultimate and £131 for flext ticket plus. Doing both!

Disneytickets are expensive then you do get a lot for the money. But-Take the lad to downtown Disney go to the Disney shop there and the Lego MacDonald's, go to Boardwalk and take a couple of boat trips around the place. Go to the Contemporary resort jump on the monorail and go to the Grand Floridian and watch the fireworks from Narcoosie's. Ask at the queue for the Monorail to be sat in the front with the driver and the driver will give you a little certificate to state you are Monorail drivers.
All these are free and it will let him see more of Disney. Remember all Disney transport is free too!
Flexi ticket covers you for Universal and Seaworld, [heartly dislike Wet & wild, but then I am 63 not 9]. Disney waterparks are far superior to Wet and Wild and Aquatica is quite good too!! If this is the first visit I urge you to Do as much of Disney that you can. or as much as you can afford.
And remember Florida holidays can be hard work!!
