So as you do, you search the internet and I have found...

August 2018 for 17 nights

Flight - Manchester-Heathrow-Miami
7 seater mini van for 18 days
5 nights in universal Loews Royal Pacific
Flight - Orlando-Gatwick-Manchester

£3800

2 Adults
3 Children

Then i need another villa / hotel for 12 nights
But then villa, £1000, tickets £3000, + spends brings the holiday to £10,000

But then what is a cheap holiday in August

Flights to Spain for 5 =£1,000
Villa for 14nights = £2,000
Hire car =£700

Total £ 3,700 + £2,000 spends £6,000

Or two weeks in a hotel is easy £5,000

All inclusive bumps it to £7,000

So what holiday do you really want and what is the right thing, either way we want a holiday so the way I see it it's £6K for a DIY Spanish holiday v £10K for 17 nights in Florida

It's a no brainier right?

Why not go for a shorter time 17 nights if you go for 14 you can get more value for money things like park tickets etc.

Not sure where you are going in Spain but do you need a card for 17 nights in Spain?


A dummy booking 10-27 August on alamo shows the minivan coming in at £1145 alone and RPR basic queen coming in at $2212 (£1664) for 5 nights.

So I would grab these flights for £200 each in August it's a bargain ! You won't get cheaper flights to Spain during the school holidays...

I wonder where you are getting a villa for 12 nights for £1000 ?

We are going in May and the cheapest townhouse near to disney is $100 per night, villas are $150 per night at least so at least $1800 = £1350 perhaps we are looking in the wrong areas.
