I want to go to Florida. Its a distant dream but hoping in 4-5 years I we have saved.

How much am I likely to need to save for actual holiday and all the days out.

I HAVE to do Kennedy space centre and Disney. These are a must do!

Probably be 2 adults and 4 children

Know it may sound crazy but if I have an idea at least I can save!

We went last year for 3 weeks and did it ourselves. Our outlay if it is any use to you was (approx as it was 18months ago I paid for most of it!)

Flights - £4800 for 3 adults, 4 children with Virgin. could of done it for about £1500 less with other companies but wanted direct flights.

Villa - £1100 for 3 weeks inc pool heat

Disney passes, univeral passes, seaworld/aquatica/discovery cover approx £2000 I think

Spending money £100 a day, we ate out about 4/5 times a week

Minivan - £520 for 3 weeks

First time with Thomson in the travel agents!

Second time with a Florida holiday company online

kiwibella · 05/04/2010 13:00

OMG....at all the responses- it dropped off the threads I am on list...

I will look at all those sites. Thank you.

The reason why I want to go to florida is the space centre. I just wish I could see a shuttle launch but that will never happen now!

We are doing something similar EvilTwins but sounds more expensive.
3 days in NY hotel then 6 in Orlando leisure park no tickets for anywhere £3800.

We are looking to go Sept 2011. Myself, husband and 4 kiddies (one under 2). For a Disney hotel, flights and 2 weeks away its £3800. We need park tickets and spending money on top of that, eeeek!

The villa option often works out better for groups like yours onadietcokebreak.....6 people housed for £475/week at our villa which is less than £70 per night. If you want to have a look at some details, let me know.
