Hi,

Personnally I would book your Orlando holiday separately, villa direct with owner, flights direct with airline, hire car and park tickets.

Depending of airline cost I would try http://www.virginatlantic.co.uk as your 1st choice airline to Orlando International Airport but others to try are British Airways or Charter airlines Thomson and First Choice to Orlando Sanford Airport, a little bit further to drive from airport but only about by about 20 mins.

Communities with Villa's which I would recommend to stay in from personal experience would be in Emerald Island, very close to Disney parks - approx 5 mins drive, you may find they could be more money but beautiful villas. The other areas from personal experience that I would recommend are Legacy Park (the Retreat) & Highlands Reserve in Legacy Park, about 10-15 mins drive to Disney, very large villas. All these communites are close to restaurants, supermarkets and shopping. Most of the villas are situated closer to the Disney Parks than to the Universal Parks but it's easy to drive to Universal on the I4 from all these locations - approx 20 mins drive.

The following sites have some good villas within these communites that I have used in the past to book before direct with owners:

We have found the following sites best rates for car hire:-
http://www.netflights.co.uk/carhire/
http://www.usrentacar.co.uk/

I would always opt for the higher car hire package which includes a tank of petrol & extra driver, it does work out cheaper to do this so you don't have to return the car with a full tank of petrol as you will be charged much more at the end for this.

Sites we have used before for park tickets:-
http://www.themeparkticketsdirect.com
http://www.attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk/
http://www.orlando-ticket-deals.co.uk

Hope this helps, Orlando is fantastic.

Wow so much info thankyou SOOO much!
