Planning Oct '03

[LauraCH]

Well, we've finally given in and decided to go back next year!! We visited for the first time in Oct '01 and got married whilst we were there - now desperate to go back...

Before we bit the bullet and book I've got a couplt of questions.

1)What travel companies/websites do you use for the best prices?
2) Has anyone stayed at the Wyndham or Radisson Hotel at Orlando? If so, what are they like?

TIA
Laura

Hi Laura!

Can't help with either of the hotels I'm afraid but here's a couple of sites to get you started, I've no doubt others on here will come up with some more!

I booked with the Virgin Travelstore for this years holiday, you get the same holiday as in the brochure but with approx 10% discount:

www.virgintravelstore.co.uk

and I've just got some very good prices for flights for next year from:

www.travelshoponline.co.uk

(thanks to Squitty/Me for that tip!)

I've also used Jetlife brochures in the past and they worked out to be very reasonable.

Hi Laura, welcome to the DIS!

For flights I tend to always watch...

www.expedia.co.uk
www.travelocity.co.uk
www .tho masc ook. co.uk
www.ebookers.com

The best way with these sites is to watch them frequently....often they will have specials on flights that only last a few days and then are gone again.

The only budget hotel site I know is www.hotelkingdom.com

Hi Laura,

We've stayed at the Wyndham on I Drive and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is in a great location, within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. And if you need to go further a field you can use the I-Ride Trolley Service which stops outside the hotel, or, if driving, you're very close to an I4 junction.

Although the hotel is very central, it is well landscaped and spaciously laid out and so you don't feel like you are in a busy urban area.

The only slight downside was that we found eating in the hotel itself to be a bit expensive. However, there are so may other restaurants nearby that this isn't really a problem.

I've just booked with http://www.bon-voyage.co.uk and found them to be very reasonable as well.
