About to book, what do you think?
Been online with virgin and have managed to get the following:
5 adults 2 children split over 3 rooms at Rosen plaza, including dodge caravan 7 seate with fully Inc insurance travelling 15th May 2019 for 14 nights, v room thrown in for £6795. What's people's thoughts? Online price was £7855 so a hefty discount applied. |

I have no idea on holiday prices but flying on the 15th May out of Gatwick for a 2 week period on VA is £506.76p per adult on todays prices.
The car with VA is £577.50p for a 7 seater fully insured and 2 drivers The rest I leave to you. Best of luck. Edit. Can you DIY the Rosen for less than £3700?

I think it is expensive, rather than a 3 rooms in a hotel wouldn't it be cheaper to get a villa? or even a 3 bed apt at a hotel?

I would look at other tour operators to compare prices. Rosen Inn is a fairly common hotel so you could see what other operators prices are.

Does this price include park tickets? For 7 people, you're likely looking at over 10k by the end. To me, that is really expensive!

I would break down the components into a diy and then decide whether the price is good.
Flights (already done by Mr Morrow. Car hire (likewise) Rosen Plaza for your dates on netflights, I can get a room for 2 adults and 2 children for £839, so book it 3 times = 2517 that is without any deeper research, looking at cashbacks etc etc. I wouldn't get excited either way on the V Room In summary, I believe the price is too high. I would do your own research through Google flights, Expedia, Trivago, Skyscanner etc , print it off and then invite your TA to either match or beat it. Mr Morrow and I beat your price by £1200 without even drawing breath. I feel sure that you could improve on that. Hope it helps.

It's not the Rosen Inn ... it's the Rosen Plaza. We stayed here in April and it's a nice hotel I would, however, be tempted to either change to an apartment in Vista Cay if you want to stay up I Drive or change to a villa or Lake Buena Vista Resort & Spa if you are doing Disney.
Like Mr Tom says above - £3700 will buy you a lot of accommodation and I think that's overpriced, even, for the Plaza which you can generally get for around £75-£90 per night per room |

Apologies. That research was on the Rosen Plaza. I have amended my post accordingly.. I would, with 5 adults and 2 children plus a desire for a car, be searching for a Villa in any case in order to drive the accommodation costs further.

There isn't going to to be a lot of room for your luggage in a 7 seater assuming everyone has hold cases plus some hand luggage.
