Default Fairfield inn & suites on i drive

Well can hardly believe I may be doing this but some how i have managed to get a very good price with Virgin for next easter inc free universal tickets so a big saving! but does mean comprising on hotel and going for one of the cheaper options to keep this price really low so has anyone stayed at the above! As its a marriott they are usually pretty good and reviews seem very good and brekkie is inc another saving! In case anyone else is looking through Virgin I got a price online but rang them up to see if coach transfers were inc and got chatting and as i was a flying club member with virgin atlantic got 10% off instead of 5% not bad and free car up grade if decide to go with virgin car hire.

I thought Virgin had a 15% off on holidays booked for next years holidays? might be worth checking Tracy?

not stayed there tracyjo but if its a good deal then just go for it,lets face it how much time do we actually spend in the hotels anyway,and to get brekkie and uni, it has to be worth it even if its just a donut and coffee. go for it girl

Hi Tracyjo. Give us more details please. We too are hoping to go next Easter but times are tough and we need to get a really good price or we won't be able to go at all.
Can't comment on the Fairfield Inn International Drive but we stayed at the Fairfield Inn in LBV and it was great.
We have started doing some research and looked at 'Florida4less.' We were pleasantly surprised at the prices. If you are prepared to consider indirect flights, some were coming in at less than £1000 for American Airlines and LBV hotels for 16 nights pp ! Must be worth checking out?

Check what you are getting with Virgin as I booked my holiday this week (Universal free tickets was suppose to end on tues but they extended it). Was told as I was a flying club member I could get 10% disc but not in conjuction with any other offers like getting the Universal tickets free.

I am a frequent virgin member and had a note this week that you could get 15% off 2011 holidays......or was yours for later this year winnie?

Not seen the offer for the 15% off and have looked at other companies which are alot higher than virgins prices we have opted for 10 nights as i work in a school so got to be back and virgin offer this as other companies are only 14 nights less stress when getting back too, when i spoke to virgin on the phone he was really good as i asked if transfers were inc and they were, another bonus as prefer to collect car the next day and tends to work out cheaper that way, I asked him if you get anything off with virgin flying club yes he said as long as virgin atlantic so he took another 5% off shaved it right down too £3100 just cant find anyone who will get it this cheap the flight alone is £2500 so to inc tickets, brekkie, transfers only got evening meals and aquatica to pay for and my little girls birthday is on easter sunday what a birthday! 1900 park fare will have to be the only treat!

Tracy it may be worth another phone call I have a leaflet from Virgin saying they are giving you the chance to swap your usual frequent virgin club benefits for a 15% discount if you book from the new 2011 florida brochure before 31 july 2010. you never know you may get even more off!

Will do that sharon but im not a frequent flyer only virgin flying club think there different? but the guy is ringing me tomo at 10am! with a decision so alot of talking tonight before we make the decision, its got to be the only place we want to keep going back too but everyone on here knows that feeling! Will have to fit in some disney stuff without parks (odd trip to hotels to watch the fireworks! and character breakfast) as not doing them this time, and havnt been universal since 1997 so should be plenty to do, know doubt will be back on tomo if we decide to go ahead.

you can get a good disney fix from downtown disney and boardwalk, without any cost, if you time it right you can watch epcot fireworks from boardwalk too, not the full show but the in the sky ones.you could always get a 1 day hopper pass for disney, go to DHS 9-1, then over to MK for the 3pm parade, stay till about 6 then go to epcot for the fireworks,
