2 weeks or 3?

We're thinking of doing 3 weeks in Orlando, but have only ever done 2 weeks before.

For those that have done this,is the cost that much more in terms of park tickets, spending money etc? Do you think we'd get bored ( can't imagine so!) Would we be better to take a week somewhere else - St Pete's etc?

Any other tips/issues we should consider?

Thanks!

3 weeks is great as you can relax more as not rushing to fit everything in. Disney tickets are only £20 more for 21 days compared to 14 days.
Beware though... once you go for 3 weeks you will not want to go back to only 2 weeks

Three weeks makes for a much more relaxed trip. We usually get 14 day tickets and decide when we want to start them and then plan non Disney things for the other days. It gives you the opportunity to take your time and not try to cram everything in. We've not spent much more other than food, but we'd be eating at home anyway! Car and accommodation is obviously more, but not a huge amount in the grand scheme of holidays. We've been very happy to have three weeks in Orlando but lots of dibbers take the opportunity to spend a week on the beach. The only downside is once you've done three weeks, you'll want to do it all the time!

Three weeks is great - we have done twice and it makes the pace far more relaxing

Spends go up though as an extra week of villa, car, fuel, entertainment, booze, restaurants and more spending for those bargains

Yes do

If you pace your budget, it doesn't have to cost a huge amount more but villa/hotel extra nights and car hire for extra days are not where you make savings

But it is still so worth it.

We feel we are going for a short holiday this year as it is only 16 days instead of the two 21 day holidays we had in 2013 and 2014

Next year will be the first we've done 3 weeks and I must say since booking I've never regretted the thought.

Been twice before for 15 nights and honestly wasn't ready for home. Go on, get it booked and give yourself an extra special holiday xXx

We are the same and even then we still want to stay longer.
