Appreciate it's a bit off topic but it never ceases to amaze me the amount of knowledge that exists among the members of this forum.
So here goes with my anticipatory call for help.
We are planning on returning to Florida with our 13 year old twins after a period of 16 years since we last visited with our 2 oldest boy's. This time we also intend on taking my mum along who turns 80 at the end of this year.
The flight part of the equation is basically a done deal due to a BA companion voucher that expires at the end of April and a shed load of AVIOS points I've accrued over the past few years - BA also offer a direct flight from Manchester via one of their partner airlines which is Aer Lingus.
What I need to make a decision on is the accomodation and the park entry tickets for the 2 weeks we intend on being there.
A quick search on Airbnb returns multiple options in the region of £2,500 - £3,000 - having used them before without issue for trips in the UK and abroad I've no concerns using them this time.
Which leaves the park ticket's and this is where I'm struggling. The number of parks seems to have increased significantly since we last visited in 2008 and the sheer volume of ticket options is overwhelming. I'd be keen to hear from anyone that has recently visited and has a view on the best approach to source tickets and also which combination of parks are suitable for a 2 week visit.
If you got this far thanks and your response would be much appreciated
And obviously any post is an excuse to share a photo
