Advice needed please

Hi

I want to book a "big" holiday for next year so i'm looking for advice so i don't spend a lot on the wrong holiday. Choices (so far) are 1) two weeks in Florida - 1 parks and 1 beach in July; 2) two weeks multi centre to florida new york and las vegas in either April or July, or 3) 4/5 nights in new york in april and a cheapie to majorca in july. Will be taking an 11 y/o if that makes a difference! Thanks in advance :confused:

  • IMHO two weeksd in florida would be cheapest and most relaxing - plenty to do outside of the parks, e.g. everglades, keys, space centre, silver springs, beaches. You tend to get a lot f cheap fly drives to florida, and there's obviously no time lost in transfer flights, but it's your call!

    if you go to florida you could not do everything in a month so i would stay for 2 weeks around the orlando area, the nearest beach is only 45mins-1hour away but there is so much to do around the international drive area you will hardly ever visit the beach. lots of places to shop, lots of attractions and of course the parks. we toyed with booking a few days over in clearwater (1 1/2 to 2 hours from orlando) but we like i-drive so much we stayed there. we did however book a mini cruise, just over £300 for 4 days for 2 people on a ship that visited key west and cozumel in mexico, this one sailed from miami but you can get them that sail from tampa and port canaveral.
