Hi fellow Taverners!
Well - I have been cajoled into taking a Florida holiday in June this year, in the main to allow my 10 year old daughter a 'theme park experience'.
I have done similar before when my two eldest kids were nippers and we freelanced the whole thing, booking flights and only booking the first night's accommodation ahead and then buying park tickets locally (PX!). Over the three weeks we stayed in half a dozen hotels/motels/beach huts. That was a 3 week holiday which we broke up with a park week, a visit to friends in Tampa for a weekend, a week on the Gulf coast and then the final week of park purgatory (sorry - fun). :wink:
Well this trip there will just be the three of us and I do not know if I should try and emulate the former trip, book up a package deal, stay in the resort hotels etc etc. I do know that last time when I looked back at the costs - I paid out a whole lot of dollars in car rental (+++insurance) for the car to spend most of its time in the themepark carpark.
I would be grateful for any advice from the many Floridians we have on the forum.
