Although we have not yet had our 2013 summer holiday there have been some serious discussions at Fatbasher towers WRT going to Florida next summer. It has been a long while since my wife and I went (2000) and this years offering to France is for my eldest sons sake as he's studying french @ Reading. We therefore are giving serious consideration to taking our young lad there before he becomes an ungreatful teenager! Does anyone have or know of anyone local who has accomodation to let in August 2014 preferably in the kissimee area of Orlando though not exclusively if within an hours drive maximum. Also if you could point me in the direction of a reputable outfit to book flights where the cost will not include shares in the aircraft  I'm taking the view that planning now will be less stressful than leaving it to Feb/Mar next year when we ususally start the thinking process. TIA |

Try Charter Travel. We booked through them this year for October and seemed reasonable for Flight and Villa package. Much cheaper than the high street travel agents or Virgin Holidays. Flying with Virgin Atlantic and would have been £800 per person for two week if we went for economy (12 people, 2 x Villa's). As it is we upgraded everyone to Premium Economy both ways, and then I upgraded myself, my brother and my Dad to Upper Class on the way out :-) Leaving the kids with my wife and mother and the rest.
Amazingly, I have not been divorced yet.

If you're planning this far ahead, can't you row there? Take about 6 - 8 weeks, meaning you'll have a long break.

TIA Hi Fats,my daughter has just emigrated with her son to Orange County...me and my wife are going out next year to see her and we have never been to the USA before,so hopefully this will be a good thread for me also! The flights look incredibly expensive and i have been given advice to book now while others say wait nearer the time,there are lots of smaller airports in the USA...my daughter flew straight to Sandford which saved her a little money. All the best and dont forget as time goes on let us(me)know how you have gone about things. |

My youngest lad's football team are sponsored by a really nice couple who own a lovely villa in Florida. It's quite big but it's still pretty cheap, it's done out amazingly and it's a Hewlett free kick away from Disneyland www.dadsvilla.comPlease mention Robins FC U9s if you book with them! |
