Florida 2013

[Rachaelmatt]

Has anyone booked for 2013 yet? We are hoping to go in May and I just wondered what sort of deals everyone is getting? We are 2 adults and 2 children staying for 2 weeks in a villa. Thanks.

not booked yet , i got a price with thomson for 3600 for family of 5 in a villa with car hire that was 8th may departing x

 

[Holstar]

Quite a few of us have booked over the last couple of months

We're going Friday 23rd August - Tuesday 10th September, two adults and three children (15, 12 and 9), but they count the two eldest girls as adults.

Staying in the Yacht Club in a Lake View Room,
Disney 21 day tickets.
Disney Dining Plan.
Transfers.
Virgin Flights (economy).
Week in a four bedroom villa.
Car hire.

£8,057.00.... Works out about £1600 per person for 18 days, food and flights! Not bad

We've got to add on insurance and ESTA's. Discovery Cove, Aquattica and Wet 'n Wild tickets... and spending money yet. Plus, we'll probably upgrade our flights to Premium Economy.

Not a brilliant deal admittedly... I had a heart attack when we received the quote... but our only other option was to do it DIY but we'd never be able to afford the flights up front - especially when being charged adult rates for the girls!

Happy planning!

Been persuaded by the Free Dining/$200 gift card offer from Disney so I'm looking to put a deposit down before 20th June.

2 adults around the first 2 weeks of May, Hopefully:
9 nights Coronado Springs + Dining Plan + 14 day Disney Tix: £1700
5 nights Pointe Orlando Resort OR Doubletree Universal: Both about £300 at the moment.
Universal + SeaWorld & Busch Tix - £180 each
Budgeting £450 each for flights, hopefully with Virgin either using miles or VA sale.

About £1600 each before I-Drive food/taxi to CSR/tips at Disney. Gift card will take care of a few souviners.

Now I just need a new job and to start saving!

We're doing October 12th - November 2nd next year, staying in our normal villa. Not sure how many of us are going as yet though - might just be DW and I instead of 5 of us!!!

We're going in Aug! Two adults and our DD (will be 15 next year)

21 nights at OKW in a 1 bedroom villa, 21 day ultimate tickets, free DDP and a $200 and $300 gift card £4284, booked.

Hoping to get M&M with Virgin but depending on the price we may be flying indirect for the first time. I don't think that we'll be doing a Fly-Drive so we'll also need to book a hire car for the 21 days. I figure that will be around £500

Still not decided whether we're going to Universal or not, figure if we decide to go that'll be around £300.

Need to book Discovery Cove, which I'm thinking will be between £550- 600 and that will include our tickets for Sea World.

So still lots of planning and booking to do! but I love it!

Thankyou although technically Iv still to get divorced and book the wedding before we go!

We decided on this holiday and then thought that seen as we've been together 5 years, engaged for a year we may as well see it as our honeymoon and get all these things out the way!

I split from my ex husband 5 years ago and were still married because I couldnt be bothered with the paperwork!

Will be another reason to enjoy the holiday even more!

We've booked to go February 23rd - March 9th. 2 Adults and 2 children (4 yrs and 10 months). We're also travelling with my Mum, step-dad and step-brother and staying in a Villa (though that's a contentious issue right now as my mum has booked a Villa that I'm not happy with. )


We've booked flights direct with Virgin (miles & money, using tesco clubcard pts to save £250)
