Hi Hilary, We flew out of Heathrow to LA last week on our way to Vegas for 6 nights. I booked through Holiday Extras and took a gamble on the mystery hotel option which included one night accommodation and upto 15 nights parking for the measly sum of £59. Turned out to the Holiday Inn M4...

I don't know if it is available on your dates but a one night stay and 15 nights parking can be had for £59 on the Holiday Extras website. It is a mystery hotel (like the others have mentioned on other sites) and when it came through we found it was the Holiday Inn M4 J4, which despite some...

:cool1: :banana: :cool1: :banana: :cool1: :banana: :yay: Brings back great memories of our last Virgin flight PE to Orlando in 2005. Someone posted a link on here and I just rang up on the off chance and managed to get the upgrade also. Loved upstairs in the bubble, much better than PE...

In my experience of Virgin Holidays they are notoriously slow at sending the tickets out. :confused3 We have had them through a week before flying, just as we were really starting to panic. I wouldn't worry too much just yet and I would take what the chap said with a pinch of salt. If...

I hope you don't get theme parked out. It is such a great place Orlando but it can be tiring, you almost need another holiday to get over an Orlando holiday if you ask me. Be sensible with your park dates and you will have a great time. I am only slightly envious.....:thumbsup2

Also, don't think that a park has to be an all day thing. Certainly with IOA and Universal Studios, depending on time of year etc, both parks can be done in a long full day. Sure you will feel tired come the end of the day but then next day take a day off and relax around the pool or...

Personally I think you are asking too much of yourselves with a visit to MK and Epcot over your first 2 full days. Some people think that the Disney experience is all about MK and go on either the day they arrive or the first full day. Personally we much prefer to go to a less stressful park...

If you are on a budget how about the Comfort Inn LBV. It might not win the best hotel prize but for value I don't think it can be beaten. Admittedly we booked direct, but we only paid $39 a night (£20). You get a free continental breakfast (handy if on a budget), vouchers for free...

It's all about location and both hotels are great for that. However the Hilton was awful last time we went, very run down rooms, smoke everywhere in the lobby (not much longer) and staff very offhand. I think it depends on what room you get at the Hilton, previously we have had a much better...

Yep, definitely the Turnpike. We did this in 2005, drove from Orlando I Drive area straight down to Key Largo...it took about 5hrs I think. You will be looking at a further 2 hrs to Key West I would say. The tolls are inexpensive but are a pain. The turnpike itself was very clear for all the...

Got to be Ruby Tuesday on 192. The best burgers in the USA, friendly and attentive staff, the help yourself salad bar ($1.99)...the ambience, the cold 2 for 1 beers......I could go on. Closely followed by: Bennigans, especially the north I drive one. Tony Romas...onion loaf...

It seems nice enough. I can't comment on the rooms as we only went in because we met for our hot air balloon ride there. Public areas are nice, as is the buffet breakfast. Staff are extremely friendly. I'm sure you'll have a nice time. :cool1:

Hi Jen_uk, They are yours, I will send you a PM in a few moments. Enjoy!! Julian

Hi All, Following our trip to Florida I have 2 Planet Hollywood Vouchers left over, basically we just didn't have time to visit unfortunately. :cool1: They are valid until 31st December this year and can be used at the Downtown Disney location and also the PH within Caesars Palace in Las...

It took about an hour and half on the way down, it was a fairly uneventful journey to be honest. On the way back it was roadwork hell unfortunately, long queues due to lane closures meant it took 2 and a quarter hours on the way back. Not good when we had to get up at 4.30am for the hot air...

Thanks for all your welcome homes...now in 2nd day back at work..thinking back this time last week we were jet skiing around Key West, well actually we were still in bed but you get my drift..... As for next trip...who knows???? We have a trip to Washington DC booked for Xmas and whisper it...

Hi Mrs Dazzle, The baseball trip was one of the highlights for sure. We did indeed attend a midweek match, pitch off (I think that is what it is called) was 7.15pm. We got there about 6pm as we needed food etc. There is a Budweiser Brew House within the ball park which serves reasonable...

Hi all, Well we are finally back in the UK following our 16 nighter in the sunshine state. Whilst over there we took in Orlando, Key Largo, Key West and finished up at Fort Lauderdale. Below I list a number of highlights and just a few lowlights of our magical trip. :wave: Highlights (in no...

We have been mostly in June and once in September before and we have learnt to not pay too much attention to the weather forecast. If you compare the 5 day forecast on the BBC website to the Weather.com website you will see that apart from one day, the BBC has big suns and high 20's low 30's...

Thank you all for your good holiday wishes, I think we might just manage to have a nice time..... :goodvibes Only 5 hours to go to pick up time!!!!! :cool1: Bye all!!!! I'll say hi to ::MickeyMo for you!!! :sunny: Julian
