Hello! So glad to have found this forum - if only to reassure me that I've been sensible so far!
We're off to Orlando on July 27th for 2 weeks - our daughter has GCSEs or we wouldn't have chosen the height of summer. We've never been to the US before so it's a bit in at the deep end. When we go our daughter will be 16 and son 14.
Quickly decided on a villa as the hotels all looked like identikit shoeboxes - for less money we could have a whole house and pool. I've spent weeks researching villas. At first I thought we'd have to book a package but realised we could book everything separately and get exactly what we wanted. We've booked at Lake Berkley.
Almost booked fly-drive with Travel city Direct but then read some reviews (gulp [msneek]!), then realised we had some air miles to use. It turns out that we can fly Virgin Atlantic using our air miles to reduce the cost and book car hire through the wonderful USCarHire and park tickets through another website all for less than TCD's total.
I think I've avoided the obvious pitfalls so far....any more I need to be careful of?
Thanks!
