North America

Direct flights, no language barrier, and the biggest family holiday there is. Also a continent where the hire car and the small print matter more than most people expect.

Never book fourteen nights of theme parks

Seven is the ceiling for most families, and the rest belongs on a beach.

Orlando is 25,000 steps a day at 32°C with queues, and children who are having the time of their lives right up until they aren't. Five park days across seven nights, then ninety minutes west to the Gulf coast — white quartz sand, calm warm water, and nobody has to be anywhere. That split is the single most useful thing an agent can tell you about Florida, and it applies just as much to a New York and Orlando trip.

Questions people ask

How many park days should we book?

Five across six or seven nights, with pool days between. More than that and most families stop enjoying it, whatever the ticket allows.

Villa or hotel in Florida?

For four or more, a Kissimmee pool home is usually cheaper than two hotel rooms and gives you a kitchen. On-site hotels buy early park entry instead.

When should we avoid Florida?

June to September — 33°C with a daily thunderstorm, and inside hurricane season which peaks in September. November to April is the window.

Do we need a visa for the USA?

An ESTA, applied for online at least 72 hours before travel and valid two years. Cuba needs a tourist card, which we arrange.

North America packages
