You don't say when you want to go but if you are looking at school holidays it is going to be expensive as tour operators charge rip off prices then.

The secret to getting a cheaper deal is to be flexible on when you can go and another way is to book all the components of the holiday yourself instead of buying a package.
Booking last minute is also an option.

For instance you can get a flight with Thomson for £295 in December. 14 nights booked yourself direct with Loews Pacific at Universal gives a 40% discount and works out at £1450 so your total per person for 4 would be £658 each (a car would be extra if you wanted one).

This compares with Virgin holidays last minute special offer price of £775 each at the same hotel for a week.

My advice is to check out every website you can think of and keep checking - hopefully you will see something that is affordable for you.

For package deals check out Travel City Direct and Ocean also google Teletext Florida and have a look at the screens of different offers

For diy check out last minute flights on the usual operators (first choice have a good last minute page on their website) Also compare flights on BA and Virgin. On the Virgin website you can see deals for more than a week either side of your chosen dates

Don't be frightened to phone hotels direct (even top hotels onsite at Universal like Loews are doing deals. Most Americans will only do small stays so if you are asking for 14 nights you should get a really good discount)

Any more questions just ask

Travel City Direct are a great site - we have been to Florida with them twice and if you tell them your requirements and budget, they will do their best to match that and come back to you with options. If you do a google search for 'Bargain Orlando Holidays', you get LOADS of holiday companies all come up so you just need to spend some time getting quotes from them all online and compare them. Good luck :)

This is the truth; It's not a cheap holiday!

Thomson holidays do child prices up to the age of 19. If you went for a week next October and stayed on International Drive it could cost £508 per person (from London).

Thomsons have deal for 9th December this year from London for 14 nights at Quality Inn International for £430 pp.
I stayed there last month, good motel style accommodation 30 minute walk away from Universal (or $8 in a taxi).

I originally booked a cheap deal through Jetsave but it was 2 stops each way and they kept changing the flights until it became 20hr trip each way and I decided to cancel. I then booked with Thomson holidays which was a direct flight and I would definitely go back with them again.

I have noticed the best deals tend to be Nov - early December but then the temperature is down a bit though still warm.

I like to go in October when the weather is good and the parks are much quieter, I don't like waiting an hour for a ride.

If you are planning to get flights and hotels separately you could try priceline.com which does competitive deals on hotels.

I stayed at Travel Lodge (American Way, just off International Drive)) one year which was cheap at $50 per night including breakfast for a room sleeping up to 4. It was basic but only 20 minute walk from Universal Orlando so good for budget holiday.
