Hi, I was talking to me sister last night about our trip to wdw next february, 8 Nights at the beach club with Virgin Holidays. We decided that it was a bit silly going all that way for a short amount of time especially as it was costing just over £3300, just flight and hotel
We decided to go a week earlier and go for two weeks instead and stay at the AKL instead thinking it would only be a few hundred more than what we originally booked, however when I checked the price I thought it was more expensive than expected so I went down to a TA and booked with Air tours. 2 weeks at AKL WITH tickets and Dining plan was the same price as Virgin with out the tickets and the Dining plan. I am really happy with the price and could not beat it anywhere even with TCD.
So even with the loss of deposit we are saving about £600, I don't think the virgin extras are worth £600! My DD does not know planes have seatback TVs so she won't know the difference if the plane won't have one, and we only live 3 miles from the airport so don't need online check etc.
