Expensive Florida

[MrsSnape]

Why is it, everytime I do a quote for Florida it comes up to almost £4k?

Everyone else keeps saying "oh thats expensive, we only paid £1500" etc....

Is it me looking in the wrong places or are they lying?

I did only pay 1400 for a 4k florida holiday- but only because I got a massive staff discount.

Pricing it up now for next year and anything half decent is expensive

No I agree with you. We've booked to go for a fortnight over the Easter break. The villa hire is £1500 alone plus the flights and car hire on top. Then the Disney/Universal passes come to £££.

Cheap it is not. Great holiday though!

We got 3 flights (Virgin) + 10 nights in a decent hotel in a 2 room suite + car hire for £1600 all in. Dates - 3rd-13th March. Expedia. Could have got cheaper if we'd have got a more basic hotel.

It is not a cheap holiday, no matter what people claim. They forget all the extras like hire car insurance, park tickets, eating out and so on .

when we went to Las Vegas/Grand Canyon, spent >£4k in 7 days. For two people.

Flights were only £400/each.

America is expensive, even if it is cheaper than the UK, all those meals out, all those activities at $20/time, they add up quickly to hundreds of pounds.

but just to add, I don't think £4k is a good price purely for room & flight. Find cheap flights on a charter airline, and book the room separately. £4k is absurd.

Take a look at www.thedibb.co.uk for lots of advice. There are ways of doing things cheaper like not having the 'free' car which isn't actually free. You can get cars for half the 'free' price Virgin and BA offer. Park tickets are also cheaper at places like www.attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk

You can get cheap villas but quite often they are a long way from Disney so that bargain might cost you a lot of time sitting in traffic. Try not to be more than 4 miles to the Disney main gate.
