We haven;t even been on our Christmas trip yet but last week we booked again for next July :woohoo:
We've been toying with going during the 'warmer' weather as our last few trips have not been so good weather-wise & as the girls are getting older, wanted to stick to school hols as much as possible. Been keeping an eye on flight prices & couldn't believe how much more expensive it was - even indirect!
Anyway, we quite often use DB's BA Hotline fares (for friends & family of BA staff) but they are generally not discounted at peak times. Asked DB to check on prices for us & he came back with a silly price - he checked & rechecked and I made the decision to book even though I couldn't get hold of DH to get his 'approval' :rolleyes1
So we're now going for 19 nights in July/Aug next year, just in time for the WWHP crowds :banana:
Have already started the villa hunt (yay!) and will probably book HRH for a couple of nights (definitely one of the Universal hotels). We had really wanted to go back to the vill awe stayed in last year on Highlands Reserve http://www.floridagolfusa.com/ but it's already booked :( It was a fab location & walkable to Berry Town Center which made a pleasant change, so if anyone can recommend a similar villa it would be apperciated?
Have already found 2 really nice villas (Sunset Lakes & Silver Creek) on the Dibb, after the saga of our Christmas villa I'm really wary of booking with somebody I don't "know". The villa is really important as I expect we will spend a lot of time there as opposed to the parks due to the heat.
... but I've never had 2 trips booked before & Im really excited :yay:
