or is it best to buy them in florida and from where?

also where can i get good deals on villas and flights?

thanks

Only one place to buy them from - the link for park tickets at the top of this page. You get real tickets, not coupons which you have to queue up to exchange on arrival. They do some package deals for multi parks but you need to seriously consider how many parks you want to visit. Visiting theme parks can be quite tiring remeber to build in some rest / shopping days. Also need to consider if you are into thrill rides, prefer animals or shows etc as to what parks to visit.

You can put in a request for a villa through the sites at the top of this page as well.

Flight wise I would say look at sites which offer multiple carriers and see which one best suits you, the good thing with September is its not school holidays so flights are not priced ridiculously.

Only you can decide which tickets are best for you !!!
It depends so much on your interests, stamina & how long you're there for !!..
Do you like thrill rides & 'coasters ?? - Universal (x 2) & Busch.
Are you 'into' Disney ?? - Magic Kingdom & Hollywood Studios.
Animals ?? - Busch & Animal Kingdom.
Space ?? - Kennedy Space Centre.
Water parks ?? Air Boats ?? Alligators ??
& so the list goes on....
Please bear in mind that 1 'theme park' day will usually last from 9am 'till 10pm ish & you'll be on your feet nearly all day !
You do need to factor in 'rest' days....
Would suggest you buy your tickets before you go - this site is a pretty good start, but you'll not be able to compare prices easily once there & will be wasting valuable holiday time...
DON'T buy from 'street vendors' over there....Please read the thread at the top of this subject !!!
This site has the very best villa choices, without doubt !!!
Flights, you'll need to spend some time researching for yourself via the internet. There's no supplier which stands out as being the cheapest.
Try Skyscanner, Expedia, Opodo, Thomas Cook, Thomson, BA, Virgin for a start !!!
Google search "cheap flights" & keep any eye open for "sales"....
Quite normal for exactly the same flight to be quoted many different prices...
A lot of the fun of a Florida holiday is in the planning !!!!!!!!
Enjoy.....

Thank u everyone. think i have managed to narrow it down to

swim with dolphins and day at discovery cove
kennedy space centre
and 14 days access to .....
bush gardens
seaworld
aquatic
universal studios
island of adventure
for two people = £598

im only interested in magic kingdom and animal kingdom so shall just get a two day pass for them.

the cheapest flights are with Virgin return for both is £1055.

a villa for £600

so round about £2,500 without food, petrol and spending money.

would anyone say that was a good deal??

[carolmc]

A villa for £600 for 2 weeks - you might need to allow a little more than that.

[luckylady]

I have to agree with Carol £600.for renting a villa for two weeks. is definintely stretching the imagination.. You make to very dissoapponted choosing a villas for this amount of money .

I feel I should warn you renting a villa for £600 for two weeks there is a possibility it may not be available for you on arrival due to foreclosure.
It is not my intention to frighten you only to make you aware of the pitfalls renting property offering very cheap rates.

Please factor in car hire for your stay - again, this site is about the best price & reliability wise...
Have to say that we agree with others that your budget for villa rental (£261 per week before tax) will limit you to the most basic & usually poorly maintained properties !!!
Be very very careful if you get quotes for villa accommodation around that figure, any owner accepting that rental would have to be desperate for money & wouldn't break even by a long way ....
Your dream holiday could so easily be ruined by your arriving to find 'your' villa in a bad state of repair, disconnected from services, reposessed or sold ....
Any villa offered on this site has to be verified every 6 months, will be maintained to the highest standards & will offer great value for money !!
