Normally, its much cheaper if you get a fly drive and rent a villa direct from an owner.

That said you should always look at packages too to give yourself a price guide and also because you should never rule out the possibility of a bargain in the package market at any given time.

well your villa is going to cost about £600 per week with pool heat included-thats £65per person per week. You cannot get a decent hotel room for one night in the UK for that-and the villas have so many facilities, comfort, privacy and tranquility-I think it's a no-brainer personally.

Thanks both of you for replies, could you tell me allison the best/cheapest airline as Really want a villa but finding that the flights are approx £500 EACH we paid £2400 inc car insurance(gold ins) Oct just gone that was for 4 people in a hotel on I/Drive. If we booked flights it would be £2450 with car hire not including the villa, am I looking at expensive flights?

Travelcity-now Xcel air are doing some good deals. Betetr looking closer the time.

I paid £190 for January 2 weeks before travel-but yes that was January. Globespan, My Travel and Thomsons also worth looking at.

Thankyou Allison
I have been 4x to Florida but never in a villa, I quite like the idea of a change. Would there be villas that take 11 people? We have 2 more people that are thinking of going now.
Are the Villas way out of the way of restraunts etc?
We usually stay on I/Drive and would ideally like to be near there or possibly near the 192 Kissimee area as have stayed there before.
Thanks again Liz.

There's lots ov 5and 6 bedroom villas on many locations.

If you go to

There's a community map so you can check out where you want to be. Most of the villa communities are either off 192 (closest to Disney and attractions) or the 27.

I suggest you look on Lindfields, Formosa Gardens, Sunset lakes or Highlands Reserve-just thinking off the top of my head where I know friends have 5 bedders.
