Where to start??? Advice needed for a family's first time.

[MrsJobba1]

Hi I might be a veteran dvc owner but there is just dh and me!

My friend has asked me to help her plan a trip for her and her family . There will be 4 adults & 5 kids!!! In 2012

Can any one recommend a villa? Who do u book them through? Car hire ??? Any help advice is really appreciated. I know about parks tickets etc but how to get a large group there cheaply baffles me?

I really appreciate any help.
Thank you x x

we booked our first villa holiday through travelcitydirect as part of a package as we found this was the cheapest option and enabled us to pay off rather than buying flights, villa and car hire separately.... or they could book a fly drive through monarch (who are by far the cheapest airline at the minute but very no frills) and go onto ebay to rent a villa as you get to read previous guests comments on the location and standard of the villa before booking!

for us its all about the parks!!.. so if the villa is clean and near disney we are not too bothered about the no frills airline!!

hope they find their perfect disney trip at the best price!!! xx

Here's a link to a website that we've used before that list many villas that are privately owned, http://www.orlandovillas.com/

As for car hire - if your friend is planning on flying to Orlando International Airport then there should be a list of car hire companies on their official website.

When i've gone with a large group to Florida in the past we buy our park tickets when we're there from a ticket centre (there's loads dotted around) or you can buy them online via http://www.officialticketcenter.com/

Thank you for your suggestions -

No I've seen Bonnet Creek mentioned on the dis but have no idea where / what it is.

When we go we always stayon disney (DVC) so I am pretty clueless about other options.

Any other help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

I would also recommend http://www.orlandovillas.com/ to select a villa. You can directly enquire by mailing them regarding the availability of various villas in Disney and Gulf Coast areas.
