I've always been lucky with MCO, but have seen the immigration queues build up behind me. But excited to see what Tampa offers.

Plus, I enjoy driving, so the hour or so drive, teamed with a £500ish saving made it a no brainer!

We prefer Tampa. We normally stay the night at the Marriott, have dinner at Hard Rock and then drive to Orlando the next morning.

Tampa is much better than MCO in every respect.

Yes the drive is no bother. When we stay in Orlando we often have day trips out to the coast no issues, it’s not far at all. Last year we went for a day to Tampa River Walk (great that) and Anna Maria Island. Driving there and back same day is nothing.

I booked a week or so ago for end of May, exactly the same as this year was supposed to be with a slightly bigger car and it was nearly £400 cheaper, with all the cancellation policy with BA I thought it was a no brainier - and if it doesn't happen there is always 2022

Tampa river walk sounds interesting 🤔 will give that a try.

Oh me and Mrs YT loved it. Left the kids in the parks. We drove to Tampa, parked up at the beginning which is in a nice park area with these converted warehouse restaurants and coffee shops where the trendies of Tampa seemed to hang out. We then walked the whole thing to the cruise terminal which has now become a destination in itself with bars and casual restaurants. We then walked back- about 5 miles in total- highly recommended.

Joining the BA 2021 hopeful gang too!

Booked last night day before Scottish schools come off for summer (June) into July. Gla via lgw into MCO 16 nights plus group W car for 2A 2C £2046. £350 deposit paid balance due beginning of June.

I felt this was a decent enough price for summer holidays. Prefer to go September time (should be there right now ☹️ but we’re tied to school holidays next year.

Went with the bigger car in case my daughter and her bf decide to join us but if it ends up just the four of us we’ll have plenty of space 😂

Now to tentatively plan the rest.
