Hello - would just like some hints and tips on where to stay - Hotel vs. Villa. I have looked into both. Quite like the idea of a villa with 2 children, but don't know where the areas are in relation to how close to the parks.

Whether to book via travel agent (eg Virgin) or book everything individually?

Also the best place to buy passes. We last went to Florida in 2004 and brought tickets on the gate each day! I understand hopper passes are a cheaper way.

Flights!!! - when is best to book them / which airlines.

Sorry for all the questions! Any help would greatly appreciated.

Wendy
