Thankyou for replying.ive done it as a package or booking separately. Last time I went we were the last flight out of Manchester with Thomas cook and being able to pay it off monthly was great. Ocean Florida are usually good for packages at a decent price. I’ve also stayed in a villa which is great if you’re happy to drive to get around and pay the $25-30 parking at the parks. I find on property it’s so much easier to get around with the buses boats skyliner etc and also you’re in the magic. But villas are great as you can cook yourself. I’ve booked directly through Disney before and that’s the most expensive to be honest. It’s an expensive trip however you do it. for 2 of us on property we paid about 6.5k for 2 weeks but that was with free Disney dining which saved us a fortune and we stayed a port Orleans riverside. Whereas a week in a villa in davenport (we were just there for a wedding) cost £100 each for 6 of us plus flights around £500 plus tickets for a week around £250 (not sure exactly the cost for the ultimate ticket at the mo) and I took 500 dollars spends. My friend Hired the car so I paid all the parking charges.
Yes ive heard how good the dining plan is, so if we stay onsite then i will try and book with that. My partner isnt as much as a disney fan as me tho, and quite often he doesnt even come to Paris with us. But we have both said he needs to come to florida. I think he prefers the idea of staying off site so able to seperate ourselves from the 'bubble' if we want to, but i would prefer to stay onsite,especially for our first time. But everytime ive looked its soooo expensive!! But we have decided disney florida is our plan so i wont be spending to go to Paris 2x a year like normal.
