You know something else that bothered me. After you've paid a packet to get in the parks, they all charge like $19 on top to park at the damn place

Epcot centre had the single best pizza I've ever had in my life. (Doesn't help you but thought you should all know that)

Epcot gets a lot of stick, but if it's just viewed as a massive food-court, it's epic 
Great place for a grown couple to go for a night out, with the fireworks and some excellent food/drink.

Top tip - parks are expensive for food - but you can buy a wrist band that allows the wearer as much food as you want from any stall - buy one - make a few trips and feed the family
Scouse lad i met gave me that tip but it saved me a load
I so fucking jelous

magic kingdom is the busiest of the disney parks
hollywood is the best but overall disney is poor unless you are a child

Around Boston I'm quickly finding that most of the chains I love in Orlando are terrible outside of the tourist areas. Dirty, poor service and just crape in general.
Dennys and iHop being the worst so far. Outback Steakhouse is seemingly consistently awesome though

Is there any Black Angus Steak House's kicking about in Boston? Had an epic steak at one last year in Kissimee!

I know it's probably not much help Fred but I've been during the beginning of September and it was still very hot, talking 30s easily.

Thats fine with us. Was told at night time a coat etc would prob be needed but in the day will be fine. Hopefully thomson is open tomorrow so can book. Looking at 9th nov for 1 week on i-drive flights and hotel etc £1700 think thats about right? Cant find it any cheaper and have a good selection of hotels/inns for that price. Villa's was £1900 but think for our first time would like to get use to it and go for a hotel.

Check for independent flights/hotel/car, might save a few quid. Really no benefit to a package in Orlando IMO.
If you don't pack a coat it won't kill you, I'd class evenings
as hoodie/long sleeved shirt.
It should be drier for you too, problem with summer is the bidaily monsoon

Nice sounds like a job i could do!! Yeh i seen the weather is less humid as well so thats helpfull. Ive looked for seperate prices etc and just for flights its around £1200. I always holiday with thomson plus to florida you get the benifit of the dreamliner. I think £1700 is cheap u get a car in that price as well but have to buy insurance extra so works out cheaper to book a car seperate.

600 pp is my benchmark for flights so you've done good 
My expectations are all school holiday based though, but still sounds a fair price.
