Opinions - 5 days

[catherinesian]

I wouldn't. I would just put that money (which would pay for a 2 week stay for 2 people at one of the values on a last minute deal) towards your next trip and holiday somewhere in the UK / much cheaper this time. You could go to DLP but it can be expensive to stay on site if you can't get a deal.

Why is this a question? Of course, you should go! Not every day you get such a chance.

If it's not something that will set you back having a longer holiday later on, and you can afford it you should absolutely go.

If I had the chance to go for a 5 day holiday in Orlando, I'd jump at the chance. Doing all the Disney parks and then going home would be fantastic. My only worry would be that feeling of when you wish you weren't leaving and could stay longer, it wouldn't be long enough to get over that.

We�ve done 5 days three times now and enjoyed everyone. As long as you don�t try to do everything you would in a longer trip it is great and feels more like a week.
If you�re going again in July ask about while you are there about the upgrade to Annual Pass in case you get give a price that is less than the tickets for your summer trip and then you could make some savings that way.
Agee with all the other posters, we had done it for New York, we don�t mind flying so thought why not for Florida.

We have done a week before now and loved it, we packed only hand luggage, went through customs and immigration in Washington (caught a red eye - Washington was empty) and we were walking out of MCO at just before 2.30pm and had almost a full day on arrival.

If you go with one of the US carriers you get generous hand luggage and use the hotel toiletries, you can pack for 5 days very easily. and maximise your time from the moment you step off the plane

As regards the comments about people going to New York, Las Vegas etc for a few days without batting an eyelid, I wouldn't do that either. If I'm flying all that way and having that time difference I'd want to spend 10 days minimum there.

No not for me. I would not do a three day NY trip either, not from the UK anyway, I did it when I was a two hour flight away. I am spending four nights in NY next year but that is tagged onto a longer trip.

I would do a European city break for three days but I cannot justify the travel time / cost to USA for such a short period, for us it involves a night in the airport hotel as well and it all adds up.

Had a very similar dilemma this September and we have chosen to do a 5 day stay at Sapphire Falls rather than a full week in Europe, do what makes you happy YOLO

I too would save the money, we have done 7 nights before and didn�t enjoy how rushed we felt. We need at least ten nights to make it worth while but that�s just us, preferably 14 nights is better then we can go to the other parks too and still have time to just chill out. We had a lovely week at DLP some years back and September would be a good month to stay there since the kids there will all be back in school and the weather �should� be decent, crowd levels should be good and it�s less time travelling to and from so you feel as though your vacation is a little easier to manage.
