As anybody ever been if so how did you go about it?
Package deal or did it individual?
I’m looking at going in a villa rather than hotel!
Be 4 adults and 3 children

Did it years ago, rented a villa off someone local to me at the time (Portsmouth), then just booked flights, a car and Disney tickets, piece of piss, picked the car up and dropped it off at the airport. Had a bonus on the way back, we all (family of 4) got bumped off the flight and 'had' to stay another night, got free flights to anywhere Virgin flew to  Obviously check prices, you may find a travel agent that has a good deal going that includes your park tickets, we saved quite a bit doing it ourselves and we had plenty of space at the villa and our own pool. Airbnb might be worth a look too? |

i went this year and had a similar thread to this
after a long time of messing and looking at packages and booking it all seperately i decided to go with Virgin, i used the shop at the trafford centre which i cannot recommend enough, proper service with free drinks and snacks while it is booked
everything was so easy with them including hire car/hotels/park tickets etc
i think they can also organise villas but im not sure, if i go again i will go villa and make own food, couldnt take much more of american eating after 2 weeks

My wife and I took my three kids in 2006.....bought tickets for everything before hand thinking it’ll ensure the best holiday ever for the kids
there is so much to do it was impossible to visit everywhere
we stayed in a 4bed villa with pool just off the 192 runs across i4 at celebration
15 min drive in to the parks every morn
there are pros and cons to either way of doing it but, I would seriously sign up to this forum to find the perfect plan for you
believe me you really do need to plan like a military op to get the best of every hour
hoping to go back soon after years of being stuck in Blighty due to caring for someone
the dibb is fanatical mate.....very friendly and very informative
have a a great time Milton

Be 4 adults and 3 children I've always booked myself when I have been with my mates or then missus, best thing to do is get a quote from virgin or speak to someone like travelbag then see if you can beat it yourself online or by going to a travel agents, it might be a couple of hours of your time but I know when I did this for my 3 month tour of Australia, I saved myself over a £1k by just taking some flights and hotels they quoted me and booking others myself. |

Don't go to Disney World on a Friday - it's dress down day for employees at the park.
I had a photo with 'Goofy' but it was just a bloke in a No Fear t-shirt and a pair of crocs.

Where did you go to with the free tickets...🛩 Barbados, kids were a bit young so we didn't want too much of a long haul flight, it meant I ended up paying around £2,600 for 18 nights all inclusive at St Lawrence Gap. |
