Hi,
The last time I was in Florida, 1981, I think, Freddie Laker flew me from Prestwick to Miami for about 200 quid, including hotel, and we also went on an overnight trip to a place called Orlando to see something called the Magic Kingdom.
We are going over next September for my son's 21st birthday, and will spend a week in the Orlando area, before going onto Anna Maria Island for a week, so as you can gather, I'm a bit out of touch regarding Orlando!!
We are looking for a 4 bed villa, near enough to the theme parks, shopping, dining, golf etc, and I've seen some lovely places in Southern Dunes, Highlands Reserve etc, although I haven't a clue about where they are, or what the area's are like, so I'm looking for some advice from all you Orlando experts. If you have stayed in some of these places, did you like the area, it's good and bad points, and the best pointer of all, would you go back to the same place.
I look forward to your comments. Thanks
Hya I go tomorow and its 11 years since our last visit, ive booked a 5 bed villa for 4 adults at the solano resort in davenport, so will let you know over the next few days what the area is like. I think the ones you mentioned are in the davenport area too. will pm you.
They are in the Davenport area and it is a nice area to be in. The closer you are to Disney the more you pay and the villa's are the same quality. Tip... take the Sherbeth road shortcut to get onto Disney property, it is on the main drag called the 192. It really is a quicker route if you are coming from that area each day. Alot more properties are opening up in the Davenport area get a map. Another tip... everywhere takes American Express travellers cheques, you hand them over like cash in the shops and restaurants and get dollars back in change. It is alot safer taking your cash this way, your villa may not have a safe box but most do.
