not sure if car will get all out suitcases ????????????????
know hotel has mixed reviews
some good some poor
but seen more good reviews( fridge, aircon, location , tv ,pool, etc ) after spending 3 hours looking at reviews
good location too
going early june 2 weeks
will it be hot then?
as u see i was going to book turkey for july, so the hotter it is the better we all love the heat (day and night too.)
also was thinking of going to busch garden as we have a car
also clearwater for 2 night does anyone know of a decent cheap hotel in a good location( not far for beach and bars etc as we dont want to drive there just beach it and drink in evening)
also has anyone done this trip ? if so what is it like in june. is it worth the money. Florida Adventure Tour
thanks
also is it easy to drive over there never drove outside the uk before. should we get sat nav in the car
wont be driving much tho who cares we got free insurance and car.
You will have to upgrade the car to be able to get 4 suitcases in. I dont know about the weather as we have only been in Dec and Oct.
But a sat nav is a must, we had one the second time and it was a god send. Make sure you book it in advance as they dont have that many spare. They do not set them up for you at the airport and we thought ours was not working. So we went to their nearest car hire desk at the Holiday Inn and a kind gentleman there fixed it for us. But they had none to swap it with if it had of been faulty .

Looks like a good deal to me. 
I particularly liked the 'good will gesture' of 294 pounds as that has cancelled out the charge for the car insurance.
So you seem to have got yourself a genuine free car as it includes both the rental (which is always free on packages) and the insurances (which I have never seen free
and are compulsory).
When you get there take a look at the car, and if you don't like the size of it upgrade then. Very often they don't have the Dodge Neon and so they give you the next Dodge up (names gone from my head) which is a good sized car by British Standards.
Wish I could go in June it makes so much of a difference to the price.

Comfort Inn may not be the best accommodation but it's an excellent location. Near the Disney Marketplace/Pleasure Island, a short drive from the Disney Parks and not too much further to Seaworld and Universal Studios.
At the Crossroads (2 minutes drive away) you have a reasonable selection of places to eat, Denny's or Perkins for breakfast and Pebbles, Olive Garden and Red Lobster for dinner.
I would upgrade the car.

Go on Virgin Atlantic's website and sign up for Flying Club. Then when you sign in, you will get an option to have 'Miles More Friends'. Send this e-card to every member in your party (if they are over 12), and get them to sign up off the email.
When everyone flies economy they will get 8,000 miles each. You will get 2,000 for every person you recommended that's joined up. And they will get 1,000 each for joining. Therefore if the 3 adults join up you will have 30,000 miles between you. It will make a big difference towards your next trip! You can get a companion seat for 20,000 miles
Hope this helps!! - Oh and you get 10% off holidays with VH and VA, and also 10% off any theme park tickets or excursions with VH

If you are happy with it then its a good deal...thats what counts
But seriously...If you paid just £2227 for four of you I think its quite a good deal
Generally Virgin can be expensive. And to be fair the Virgin flight is not bad at all... prob one of the best on the route (non stop is a bonus too) so you can often pay a premium for it.
£550 each including the hotel....you would be hard pushed to get it all much cheaper
Weather in june is hot day and night. No coats required Daytime hi 80's to low 90's. Evenings in 70's however thunderstorms are also common. Expect to get hit by a few downpours
Sat nav..suppose its useful but navigation is easy. Road signs are great... traffic OK...except on International drive where its gridlock...groan

Int Drive is a pain-but often use Universal Blvd-or just get to Sand Lake Rd and then off to I4 and away from it all-lol.
I've just paid £190 with Travelcity. Excellent flight-no worse than Virgin-and I have used them 6 times in last 2 years. Food was edible and free drinks, staff were very helpful and friendly-we came Manchester to Sanford.
Will be looking for them for my June flights.
Downside was no seatback TV's-and that was all. To save £200 a flight -I could manage.
