We got 2 weeks at OKW inc tickets and DDP for 5 of us for £3200, 2013. Was a glitch... actually booked for cheaper, Disney agreed to do for that price.

The first Norwegian Air flights were decent too.

Got slaughtered on here for both!

Cheapest ever holiday however was when my travel went bust and auctioned their holidays off, we won a week in cyprus flying airtours to an allocation on arrival hotel for £30 quid each in 2002. Mum gave me £75 for my a-levels and my bf (now husband of 10yrs) took his exam money as our spends. Had an amazing week and even did a boat trip 😂😂😂

We still pass the HoJo regularly (well we used to ) - renamed Champion's World Resort I believe

I knew the Director of Sales - Simone - at the old HoJo very well, we did about 12000 room nights per year at that hotel and Simone used to phone me with stories about our guests - who would be amazed what I knew if I contacted them post-holiday for feedback!

Last year through work, cost was zero!

Got invite three weeks before- said accommodation was AKL. Wow I thought, although having zero interest in animals it was a bit lost on me. Three days before departure they changed us to Grand Floridian! Shared a beer with Tim Allen in the pool.

We had VIP guides, were taken care of in a ridiculous way. Best restaurants, no queues, prime spots for parades, own private viewing area for fireworks. We watched happily ever after on the roof of the Contemporary, had a lakeside view for illuminations and had private dining on a raised platform for fantastic. Spent $200 all trip and $120 odd of that was on poolside beers in Grand Floridian. Mickey and Minnie even visited our “office” a working breakfast in grand Floridian meeting room!

My 6th trip to Orlando and saw and did things we will never get the chance to do again!

Amazing trip... won’t be happening for a while now though.

Wow, that's not the norm! What a result! Trouble is, every subsequent holiday is measured by that!

The old Travel City flights were great value. Remember stopping at Gander for ice cream? Did TC fly drive and Comfort Inn LBV at around £30 a night. Used to be able to do it for around £1,000 for 2 adults and 1 child
