Have never been to Florida before (though had been to NY and Texas years ago when I was single ) I have always arranged my med holidays independantly preferring to be able to book a 2 bedroomed apartment for self hubby and 9 yr old son without having to pay ridiculous surcharges
However I'm not sure if this is still the case with a US holiday
Looking to go next year probably October school hols so 2 weeks flying from Scotland thinking of some time doing parks and some days just chilling so possibly 2 centre
My question is should I look to try DIY as I usually do or would a package be better for out first time
Any advise will be greatly appreciated as I am out of my comfort zone here (Its usually Turkey)
TIA

Same question I was going to ask Fi!! Depending on how things go I would like us to take the kids in 2009, probably last 2 weeks of August, since it's the only time we can fit it in short of going at Easter. Having had a quick look I think DIY will be cheaper. I've looked at travelrepublic and I think we could probably shave about £1000 off the price with the tour ops. The expensive bit is the flights, so if anyone has any good tips on finding cheap flights that would be fantastic

if going from scotland id be looking flyglobespan . i booked my flights as soon as they were released and paid £1300 for 5 of us..if you sign up for their newsletter they will email when flights go on sale it was roughly the 20th june last year for flights for this summer
We are going out to Florida in June. Went onto travelsupermarket.com to find best/cheapest flights and car hire. (good system) Then did a search for villas - try ownersdirect.com - mainly UK people advertising so you can speak to them on the telephone. You will find that these are usually privately owned villas and the owners want to rent so are very helpful. As previously posted, it so much cheaper to do it yourself than package it.
