Hi ,

We are looking into booking Florida for July 2027. We are looking to stay in a villa and will hire a car. Can anyone recommend any good companies which are reputable or the best way to book this trip.

Thank you 😊

We booked through TUI, flew with virgin though and got our park tickets through attraction on the black friday sales. Were here now, landed yesterday, loving it so far!

We always book separately. Usually book the flights and car hire together, and then villa/resort whenever I see a good deal. Some hotels can give good deals on larger suites (had a 4 bedroom suite a couple of years ago for cheaper than a villa would have been, but this year - we’re currently in Florida - a villa worked out cheaper. We booked through Vrbo, and it has been fantastic). I bought tickets this time through Attraction tickets (Black Friday deal) for Disney, and Your Ticket Genie for Universal. Both gave fantastic service, and all worked exactly as it should.

Thank you @ElfDragon some great tips. I had not even considered Black Friday for the theme park tickets! Will definitely check out Vrbo.

Thank You aswell @ChaosIsMyNorm . Have a lovely holiday 😊

We also do it all separately.

Look at Skyscanner for flights but usually Virgin works out well, find a Villa online and also use attraction tix for park tickets.

I’ve stayed at Disney but we much prefer staying in a Villa, it’s an exhausting holiday and having that drive away from it and that separation is essential.

We’ve done it twice and booked it all separately. We booked flights with virgin. Villa with Airbnb. You should also look at Vrbo. I think the car was through rental cars.com and the tickets were from attractiontickets. We booked during a sale period we bought 14 day universal tickets and 14 day Busch gardens/sea world and aquatica tickets - in the sale, these came with free parking and 3 days of all inclusive food as well.
