Price Matching

Hey,

I have just booked to back to Orlando in October 2017, flying from Manchester direct with Virgin.

The package included;
  • Direct flights from Man - MCO for two adults and one child. (she is an infant but we paid extra for a seat - its far too long to sit on our knee!)
  • 10 Nights at Disney Caribbean Beach (including QSDP)
  • 4 Nights at Royal Pacific Resort (including Express Passes)
  • 14 days unlimited tickets for all parks.


We originally went to the local Virgin Holiday shop, they offered us the package for £6,500 and change. They were really helpful and gave us good advice (which we didnt need because of this site! ) This seemed expensive to me so I decided to shop around.

I emailed Charter Travel and Ocean florida for a price for the exact same holiday. Ocean Florida were more expensive than Virgin! Charter travel quoted £5,300 and change for the exact same package as Virgin.

I felt sorry for the girl in the shop who really went out of her way to help us so I decided to email virgin to give them the chance to match the price, and they (almost) did! They were £50 more than charter travel so I decided to pay the extra £50 to have the peace of mind of using a well known company etc.

So for the exact same holiday with the same company we got £1,150 knocked off the price for the sake of two emails!

Make sure you be cheeky people, it is well worth asking.

Time to start the countdown for us, my baby will be two when we go and it will be her first time so we are looking forward to it more than usual!
