    Planning a suprise trip for my family! advice please

    I would suggest that for tickets you look at a "Fun in the Sun" package. No doubt the Disney Ultimate is good value if you are mainly sticking to Disney but in your case this package would probably be better value. Look here the package has 5 Disney days, 2 Seaworld and 7 consecutive Universal...

    Slightly worried about my Emerald Island reservation - your opinions please

    I have rented many times in Florida and Europe and have never had a contract countersigned. However, I usually book through UK/ European owners so maybe that it is more common in Europe. I know that there are many variations in the way that contracts can be compiled, just trying to offer some...

    Slightly worried about my Emerald Island reservation - your opinions please

    It is unusual for an owner to sign and return a contract to you after you have signed it. Usually the owner sends out a contract which you sign to agree to their terms and conditions and you return, keeping 1 copy for your own records. Maybe the owner got a little mixed up. What is more...

    Spa/pool question on rentals

    There can be various systems, so if you are already in contact with the owner of the homes it would be best to ask them. In our home there is one heat pump for the pool and spa but a separate thermostat for each, the spa thermostat is set higher than the pool so when you put the spa on the...

    OT..best place to buy vacation home in FL?

    Would the home be just for your own use or would you be planning to rent it out to others. If you are planning on renting you need to buy in an area that is zoned for STR (short term rental). If the home is just for your own use then you will have a much greater choice as you can consider...

    Disney Store @ Gaylord Palms

    The Disney store at Gaylord is very small, you can pick up a few Disney souvenir's but not a great selection. If you are going to DTD save your dollars for the Disney store there it is huge and has a great selection:)

    Gaylord Palms

    GP is very close to WDW the hotel is on Osceola Parkway which takes you straight into WDW and intersects with world drive. I would estimate that MK would be about 5 miles (10 minutes) and the other parks slightly less. I'm not sure but I think you have to pay for the hotel shuttle so it would...

    Villa Help Advice

    Both the communities you mentioned are on Hwy 27, Calabay is a little further out than Regal Palms but not that far. Regal Palms is all town homes so they do not have their own pools but the community pool looks good. We have stayed on several communities on Hwy 27 and it is a good location...

    Wishes or illumination cruise

    We have done both and we preferred the Wishes cruise:thumbsup2 . The boats are very close together under a bridge for the illuminations cruise and although you are much closer to the fireworks display, I don't think it feels as exclusive as the wishes cruise. We also had a much better captain on...
