Anyone booked for going next year?

been quoted £2650 for disney hotel and flights +£300 insurance + £650 for park tickets + £1000 for spending money.

£4600 to go for 13 nights seems toooo much to me.

Stay in one of the I-Drive hotels - much cheaper and much more you can walk / catch the trolley to

A lot of them have free shuttles to Disney anyway...

If your not fussed about hotel's villas work out loads cheaper, especially if there are 8 of you going. Also never book through an estate agent, a friend of mine booked him and 7 others through one, i did the same stuff he's getting online and couldve saved him £350 per person!!!! (thats a 2500 saving all in!!!!).

All individually mate, flights online, disney tickets are from.. (will update, cant remember the site but budget around £320 per person which includes every single park/waterpark etc - disney/universal/busch etc etc). Hire car from the same place, book cheapo car then upgrade once you are there (I got a Chrysler 300C on upgrade for an extra £70 on top of a mondeo size car for 14 days). Hotel, if its disney you want to stay the cheaper budget Disney all stars hotels are still fantastic, spit dearer than a villa but if theres only 2 its fine. Spending money wise it depends what you want to do. We go mad when we go out there, blew £3000 (yes pounds) on clothes and stuff, had to buy 2 extra suitcases!!!!

Any more questions dont hesistate to ask

am just back from florida 2 days ago

me and the burd paid £650 each to stay on international drive , £600 for all our tickets for the 2 off us and £70 insurance and took £1000 spending money each and still managed to bring some home and thats getting loads of cloths over ther too .

so ad say thats well over priced but the disney hotels are dear as stayed in one before but to be honest a dont think there is a bad hotel in florida as there 2stars bout our 4star so you should save a packet and just look around at the other hotels as u only really sleep there ure never in as long as its got a pool and clean etc u cant go wrong imo
