Well i%26#39;ve actually been back for a week but things have been hectic since my return so i haven%26#39;t had time to post anything yet! A great time was had by all, the weather was hot, hot, HOT, tropical storm Ophelia had just passed so we didn%26#39;t get affected by her, so i was loving it! All the parks were really quiet so we walked onto all the rides which was great, i%26#39;ve never been able to do that before! We stayed at the Comfort Inn International, which, whilst not being the Ritz, was perfectly adequate for mine and my friend%26#39;s needs. Free continental breakfast, maid service daily, fridge and microwave in the rooms. The pool area was a bit small, but as it was pretty quiet, it didn%26#39;t matter. The hotel was very clean, and it was in a great location for a non driver like myself! We loved the hotel and Orlando in Sept so much that we are planning on going back next year at the same time, to the same place!
I'm back!!Welcome home!!!
Glad you had a fantastic time, please please write a post about where you ate and if Bahama breeze etc was as good this time as last time, did you try anywhere new? anywhere you would avoid in the future?
also, how did you find the prices of meals, drinks, petrol during your trip? much of a price hike since the last time you were there? ohh what was the flight like?
Sounds like you had a really chilled out break, fantastic :-)
I'm back!!
hi and welcome home....glad you had such a wonderful time sounds like we both had a brill time away, also glad you missed the bad weather and happy saving for next year...
Well done UKDiva it looks like it all went well. One point you raised struck a chord -
Going back to the same place year after year - now there is a topic.
I used to laugh at the poor old stiffs who had no imagination. They went back to Skegness or Mablethorpe every year when there was a whole World to see. Then 15 years ago we went for the %26#39;trip of a lifetime%26#39; and we have gone back every year since.
I just cannot find anywhere better. At Easter we try different places in Europe and Far East but nothing compares.
Sun, heat, golf, sharks teeth, baseball, good food, doing my whole casual clothing shop for the year in Marshalls and Maxx, and just being chilled. Now that is a real holiday to me but it would not suit everybody
Am I sad or just content. (I do not spend all of my time in Orlando however!)
Vegas - I know what you mean, i do holiday in other places [usually all in America though! *lol*] but nowhere i%26#39;ve been has yet to come close to Orlando, i can%26#39;t describe what i like about the place, i just love it! I have to go back at least once a year otherwise i start getting withdrawals!
CBR - I didn%26#39;t go to Bahama Breeze this time around, but i found prices to be more or less the same as they were last year. I cleared out my wallet and then some at Premium Outlets and Florida Mall, the clothes prices are still as cheap as ever! Can%26#39;t comment on the price of petrol as i don%26#39;t drive, but can advise that ciggies are bloody cheap! *lol* 2 packs of Marlboro for $5.49 in Walgreens and $24.99 for a carton of 200. Looks like i won%26#39;t be giving up smoking any time soon!
I%26#39;ll definately be back next Sept, and for longer than a week that time around. We met some fantastic people, had a brilliant time and i%26#39;m hating being home and back at work! ;-)
totally agree with what everyone else says... we do holiday at other places but can not beat Orlando we just love it, and yeah the ciggs were well cheap... and the food out of this world... just going to get xmas over with then saving up all over again just do not know how long it will take as we want to go for 3 weeks this time..we had thought that we would try a disney hotel but money wise this was silly, so then decided to go back to quality inn plaza, how ever with so many of us we thought we would try the embassy suites next door it looks good and resonable and has had good reviews on it...happy planning uk diva and happy saving..
Hi ukdiva,
sounds like you had a great time. I have been back almost four weeks and I am missing Orlando sooooo much. I couldn%26#39;t even imagine going anywhere else on holiday that would come close to Orlando. Could anyone else?????
Welcome back Diva :)

Thanks all! It is kinda nice to be home and see my friends and family and stuff, but i wish i could transport them all over to Orlando! *lol* Oh well, i will just have to look forward to next Sept, and take a few side trips in the meantime! My friend and i are thinking about Las Vegas for a week at the end of Jan! ;-)

As it seems there may be a few of you in your party have you considered renting a villa with pool. We find this works for us. Actually cheaper than many hotels especially if you book with an english owner direct rather than through an agent.
Quite honestly I would not consider going anywhere where we do not have en suite bedroom each and own pool but obviously due to locations of many villas you do need to rent a car but thats something we would do anyway whichever country we holiday in.
Assure you I am not a villa owner looking for some free publicity.
