Quite fancy going there next year,
Any idea how much $$$'s id need if we (Me & Jade) went for 1 week, maybe 2. Maybe going to 2 or 3 theme parks, staying in Int. Drive self catering & renting a car.
Also will I be better booking sooner for next Summer or waiting till nearer the time. Could this American Visa pish maybe effect the amount of people going to the USA & perhaps push down prices

Well as of next year anyone traveling to the USA on an international flight must apply for a US Visa & the only visa office in the UK is in London!!

Double the time = double the spending money.
Ive been 6 times before but not for a while so a week would be fine tbh.

First choice
2 weeks self catering flying first class to kissimiee with car hire is £1500 for me and Richie
Then we are going to save 2k - 3k for spending money, disney/universal studios passes, food, going out, spending money etc etc
Cant wait to go, but got a few things i need to sort out first

I-Drive, is wicked, stayed there in August. Went for 2 weeks.
TBH, 1 week should be enough to see things, I found that 2 weeks, we just kept going back to the same place.
Go to Universial Studios, and Island of Adventures, both are amazing.
I'm going back next year, a 1 week ticket, with unlimted access to both the parks above, is $114.95 + tax. That is access to both whenever you want for 7 days. Great price imo.
Also Downtown Disney ( ) dont laugh, but Planet Hollywood, if you go, that is on of the best places to eat
