Never seen the point of first class, Id sooner put my cash towards having a better time there, not spending hundreds more as you have a bigger seat for 8 hours!

first class to orlando for 2 people there and back
10 nights in a 3* hotel
7 day disney pass
7 day universal studios pass
champange balloon flight for my bday
arabian nights excursion
2 week hire of a convertable
all transfers included and a few more day trips/excursions
and its says.... £5300 
Worth the money? Ive never been before and would love to go! But like, wow £5k
£5k
Please!
When we went there were five of us in a 4 star hotel for 2 weeks. We had the Disney entrance card thing which let us in every Disney park, and the other Park Hopper pas, the 10 day version. That's 5 of each. We also did some hardcore shopping and ate out every night. All in all that Holiday cost less than £5k. Think you may want to look elsewhere for your holiday

If you want legroom then request row 40odd at the back of the plane, the seats go from 3 abreast to 2 abreast, you get a huge gap at the side of the seat for your legs. I'm 6'3 and had plenty of room. Slept most of it.
You'll only want a day or so at Disney and Universal, althought Disney is good its aimed a lot more towards the younger people and if you spend a full day there you wont want to go back day after day.
Hire a nice car, drive to the Keys for a few days

Fly with Virgin, book the 'bulkhead' seats and hope you don't sit next to parents with a baby (taking them on a florida holiday they won't even remember!).
the virgin flight to New York I went on had over 30 TV shows, 54 films and loads of albums to listen to, as well as two meals, all drinks free and snacks. Was an excellent flight and penty of leg room (although Im 5'10").
Why get 7 day Universal Pass, 7 Day Disney pass and a 14 day hire care, for 10 nights???

I've just come back from California and flew with Virgin (11hr flight). I'm just over six foot and had plenty of room in economy. If you want extra leg room you can pay a small fee for a emergency exit seat, You get around 5ft leg room, but the seats arent very wide. I did this on the way back as it was a night flight. Virgin have great entertainment too where you have a large choice of films and TV shows and can pause and ffw. They provide you with a 'night pack' for free. I think some trans atlantic flights you have to pay for these.

I have been 3 times,
once with Britania about 13 yrs ago..
Twice with Virgin.
Firstly There it is absolutly pointless going first class. So that will save you around £2k.
You only need a 3 day Universal pass.
You get around universal stuidos its self in less than 1 day so that gives you over 2 days in islands of adventures..
I would defo fly with virgin.
If you want to be really anal and so something better for the flight, go priemium economy.. But as paul says above.. there economy seats and entertainment is class....
all three times we have stayed in either the quality inn internail (twice) or the quality inn plaza (once)
The international is in a better place on international drive so would recommend that..
Its quite a basic room, but all you use it for is a bed for the night.. You are out everyday from 8-6 then out in evening eating or going to a show..
Best shopping is in the Florida mall..
If you want anymore info the feel free to PM me.
I was last there in October.
