Orlando Hotels, Online Last Minute Hotel Reservation in Orlando, FL, United States - GTAHotels

Some of the above are as little as £140 for 7 nights

not sure you'd walk away with your A hole unfettered but you'll save a few £



**** me - If you are worried about £500 on accomodation - how much are you paying for flights?

Are you expecting to eat for free and not visit any parks ?

Dont make me start adding our trip up.

June...

Flights 1800
Accom 750
Hire cars 1000

Thats whats spent before we land !! lol

I got to agree though, if £500 is stretching it to get out there and get accom, your going to the wrong place. You will spend double that with ease staying entertained for a week.

I have not even thought about spending money yet, but its gonna be scary this time round me thinks! As per your list, I think £500 will easily go on entertainment.

Andy, seriously mate if £500 is the budget, dont go Florida. Especially not Disney!

More realistic me thinks tbh.
If there was another zero there, I would have far more suggestions.

You can rent a room in the house we are staying in if you want, 15 mins from Disney Only of course if your going on the same dates lol.
Even so, with that said, cheapest flights I can find are £368 return per person. Getting accomodation and into Disney for 132 quid more is gonna be tough.

Is the £500 per person ?

You won't get much better than that mate, but take it from someone who knows: one week in Orlando isn't enough (probably wouldn't even get to see all of Disney in that time); figure on a minimum of two. This has bugger all implications for the cost of the flights and package don't usually cost much more for two weeks than one, so the extra money required is spending money for all the extra parks you'll get to visit.

£500 seems cheap to me,when we go back theres no way i would consider a disney they look like a prison camp to me.the best way to stay in florida has to be a nice villa and a hire car.

We've gone for the 5 bedroom as its nice to have some space, 2 adults and 2 kids. As for the car, well I've gone for a Durango.

Enjoy yourself Snazy!

SNAP !! Dodge Durango too
And a Mustang convertible for the evenings, and the missus to get used to driving out there lol.

Jods, lose what for what?? The deposit for having people stay with us? Or you mean if they trash the place?

James, Snowdon is where we are heading, doing a charity weekend for a dog rescue place. Malamute Rescue. Should be 15+ Mals and lots of owners.

Winter sun, thats a tough one, usually prefer snowboarding etc, but hit the caribbean this January, and loved it lol

Have a good one Flightman I will let you know what to think of the Durango, unless you have driven one before. We had a trailblazer last year.

Never had one before, so let me know what you think mate. They get good write-ups on The Dibb.

Would have loved a Mustang, do you reckon the authorities will be annoyed if I try to get the kids in the boot?

Have seen far worse things than kids in the boot, worth a try eh lol
Could always get one and just let the missus take the Durango with the kids eh.

Yeah will make sure I let you have my opinions on it lol, spec seems good, even for entry level, but they are usually mid range, so
