Hi All, long time no visit!!

[CHEK]

Well as the title say's, not been around for a while, but hopefully I'll be bothering you guy's with a few questions soon.......................................

Looking at booking for next year only thing is, think we may possibly end up booking for August as eldest DD start's High School this Sept and then youngest start's the year after

Anyway hope your all well and it's nice to be back

Thanks for the welcome's guy's

Ah Wayne, you'll regret that message, I'll be bombarding you I hate paying over the top for anything, so always on the look out for a bargain!!
Having travelled before in May, June & Feb always got great flight deals, but looking for August I know that I have to be more realistic, but the children are older so we don't have to travel direct.
Been looking at staying on site with Disney Dining, but I need to explore this a little more.
Girls have just gone to grandparent's for a couple of hours so time to explore a little more on my own

We stayed at OKW last August and will be again this August, last year cost £91/nt, this year costing £100/nt incl 42% discount and free Dining but next year its going up again to £108/nt(with Complete Orlando, Disney is more) plus there are rumours of the desserts being removed, still waiting to hear details. At £108 its just getting beyond good value now for us, probably stay offsite again next August.
Flights are the problem for August, they have jumped in the past year or so, now difficult to get anything under £700-800pp even indirect, the odd deal as been around but not many. Hope it gets a little easier for next August.

I know many don't like taking kids out of school but we did 1st year Matt was at High school, went for 3 weeks in Oct, halfed the cost of August.

I know it's tricky isn't it!, we have taken them out in Junior school but only ever for a week, but just not sure how High School will take it? But then not every parent can take holidays in school holiday's??
Our youngest will still get 2 wk's at Whitsun, but the eldest only a week, the only trouble is can I get the 2wk's off or will someone else get it??
Then we have Easter, both girls have 2wk's off, do we go then?
Too many if's and maybe's.................
