have i booked a bargain or not?

Welcome Merlin307,
Glad you got a good deal with BA. With all the problems they have had recently and talk of discounted tickets out of curiosity I thought I would check with them for our Aug flights (already booked with Virgin) 2nd-27th Aug over £800 each still, glad I went with Virgin.

To get to everything you just walk back down Palm parkway you will see Crossroads on left or bit further back to the junction to Olive gerden or Ale house across the main road.

...which is why I book outside school holidays (athough I know a lot of folks don't have that option) .. although I just checked and my dates in April are over £800 more expensive...pays to book early

for an idea of location and how near to crossroads ect check out
www.local.live.com its microsofts version of google earth but a website instead of a program and as a great chance all of orlando is in high res and really easy to see ,we`re staying at the comfprt inn in nov and i`ve been able to follow the route from airport to hotel to see what the roads are like
it seems to be pretty recent as well but maybe someone who has better knowledge willbe able to confirm that!

Not seen that site before, not very up to date with pics in UK though, it shows Red BMW in our drive which we had from 1999-2002, Had a blue until 2006, then Black since then. Google Earth shows our Black one which we have had since March 1st 06.

i know some areas in the uk are not up tp date as i have heard from people in other areas in the uk its up to 5 yrs out of date ,in peterborough it was done last july (i can date it from our local schools building work!!) so i wondered how up to date the orlando area was as it seems to be differing to all areas!!

Just been looking at the 192 area and looks a lot more up to date Watermania closed its doors Sept. 5th , 2005. and it took a while to remove the slides etc. the ariel shot shows it all cleared.

also if you move it along to I4 junction all the roadworks are in full swing.

I would say this area has been updated in the last few months.

brilliant news !! thanks for that ,i knew an expert would be able to spot those kind of things ,it just means you can get an idea of the road situation and wow they are big!
