Florida


Just starting to look round at villa's / flights / car hire for Florida next year. Anyone any recommendations and what we could expect to pay? There will be 8 of us. Think Tom will be classed as an adult so 5 adults, 2 children and an infant..

Any recommendations would be gratefully received

Re: Florida


it depends on what your after kissimmee is a more quiet laid back resort,international drive is busier with more attractions.

Re: Florida


I would recommend travelling with Virgin, Fran - have you had a look at their brochure yet?

We stayed in Kissimmee but it was in a hotel not a villa. It was approx 5min drive from Downtown Disney. If you did choose Kissimmee, you would need to hire a car to get to all the parks. Virgin operate a Fly & Drive and your car is waiting for you at the airport when you land.

This link will give you some idea of the villas on offer....

Re: Florida


Have only flown to Tampa and stayed in the Tampa area (more of a working break than holiday)
Went in December - I'm no help to you at all, am I?
The Gulf Coast is lovely - St Petes and Clearwater - miles and miles of empty white beaches. But no sign of Mickey Mouse .......
