So after 2 years with only UK breaks we want to go abroad next year. It will be the first time for our DC (8 and 5).
I want to just do a week all inclusive at a nice family resort somewhere in Europe, spend days playing in the pool, go to the beach etc.
DH is set on Florida, he went there lots as a child and can't wait to take our DC which is fine but a few things niggle me for instance:
a 9 hour flight as their first time on a plane seems a bit much?
DH wants to go to a villa as it is better cost wise - so then we have to clean a kitchen etc. when on holiday, great.
Everything I read seems to suggest that you need to plan it like a military operation, this does not scream relaxing holiday to me.
Also he insists we need at least 10 days if not two whole weeks and that will seriously eat into our annual leave for the whole year (we usually tag team leave in the summer).
Then there is the cost....
BUT the parks look fun and are apparently great at catering for people with allergies (one child has a peanut allergy) and the kids would love it.
So is Florida really worth it?
