Rough guess on price please
Ok so we was supposed to be having a cheaper holiday in turkey next year to save money as we wasn’t going back till 2022 , but it’s hubbys 50th and we are considering another trip back next summer but it’s been a few years since we been so I’m out of touch on stuff .
How much do you think we will pay in the kids summer holidays for a week in port Orleans and a week at royal Pacific , with direct PE flights with virgin please ? We are 2 adults and a kid age 11 I know it’s hard to say but what do you reckon? I’m thinking can we do this for about 6500-7k? Any tips greatfully recieved ;) |
I’d say more than that unfortunately.. Just to give you an idea, we are paying about that (probably a bit more actually) for 2A and 1C this August. Direct flights Manchester to MCO 2 nights Endless Summer, 1 night RPR , 11 nights CBR, free dining upgraded to ddp. About £2000 of that is tickets. I looked out of interest the other day and if I booked similar now it would be about £1500- £2000 more! To be fair I have booked as a package so if I’d sourced my own flights it could have been less I guess, but we did feel we got a good price at the time in comparison to other packages on offer.
ETA Those flights are Virgin Economy btw. |

We will see if not it’s turkey after all I think which will be ok too. Thanks again |
We allways book separate usually and have found in past it’s cheaper .
But things change . |
I think your total is ok IF it doesn't include spends, I'm also assuming park passes at both Disney & Universal? Whilst Disney have always been high, Universal's shot up a few years back so whilst still a lot cheaper than Disney .. Airport can make a lot of difference as I've always found Virgin from either Man or Glasgow to be really expensive but you don't state where from?
If you do a dummy booking just on Disney for 2 weeks, this summer, incl Virgin flights POR (preferred so would be slightly less if standard are available) is coming in at £5900 but you stated PE plus Universal tickets I reckon you are over £7k before you have spending money! TBH IMO the days of a "cheap" Orlando holiday are gone, also food costs have risen , not helped by the poor exchange rate, but you are definitely spending the same or more than you would at home, more so onsite at Disney !

Miles flights from LGW for PE and UC this year have been dire sadly We are carrying a lot of Miles so for 2021 for at least 2 of our trips we are doing LHR to Miami to guarantee we can use them. That route has constant availability. |

Yeah my hopeful estimate is without spends but with tickets Were flying from London |
I think that's a really ambitious target, if you break it down, even based on this year's prices.
Totally off the top of my head: POR - £300 a night = £2100 RPR - £300 a night - £2100 Disney tickets £429 pp = £1287 Universal tickets £840 = £6327 Then you need flights on top, and in August, for economy, you're looking at best case scenario £800 pp direct. If you're prepared to make compromises in flight class and accommodation, I'm sure you could easily do it within budget, but I don't think you can tick ever box on your list within your hoped for budget unfortunately. |

Hey ! Hope your well ! I might look at Miami then but we don’t drive abroad so unsure how far Miami is from Orlando ? I feel like a newbie 😂 |
If you have a lot of virgin miles you can get very cheap flights from Gatwick to Boston - was coming in at 250 in taxes and 150k miles for 2 adults 1 child in economy in august (was loads of availability - its a new route on a delta plane) - would then need flights to/from Boston.
