    Subways $2.49 for a 6 inch can't be bad...a different sub every day....eat their healthy option...go on holiday and lose weigh...you can't get a better deal...

    My husband likes Subway but not everyday, being a builder he says he has sandwiches 48 weeks of the year on a daily basis so when he's on holiday wants a change.

    I would say that on $150 a day you will be well in. We spend less than that for a family of 5, and my boys are 16/13/11.

    You will have plenty left for additional shopping.

    One of the great advantages of a villa is the flexability it gives you.

    You will save tons of money - I have done both hols, stayed in Disney once while villa being built -I was so fed up of packing bags to go to the pool, eating the same old stuff - not enjoyable by the end. Now in your own villa, you can watch the kids having fun in the pool, let them get their own drinks and ice creams without queuing for them , and generally relax. Its nice to be able to have a bowl of cereal in the morning and get out early - you spend valuable fun time stuck in restaurants THen when all the park restaurants are filling up, come back to the pool, stop off for some take away, or call in publix, get some subs or chicken dippers or whatever ,and get back to the villa, with your feet in the pool in no time. Work on the tan, and go back later see the fireworks, do the rides, and call for a meal, or come back for a sandwich and flop in a comfy bed. Bliss. No packing bags for long days, no maid disrupting you getting into your room, no queueing for drinks, no hassle just freedom to enjoy it all!! You will never go back!!

    We just buy things like TGI chicken wings and mozerella sticks to have in the freezer in case we get hungry while we are at "home"

    Otherwise we eat out - which is not expensive even with 6 of us [msnsmile2]

    I'ts also the flexability staying in a villa gives you all round, I hate staying in hotels when we go somewhere else other than Florida, it is everyones elses inconsideration I can't stand.

    For example a guest having their yappy poodle in the breakfact area on a chair when people are looking for places to sit and another owner wandering around the buffet with dog under arm, of course it was not for long when I noticed both of these incidents! Shouting and banging in the easly hours, misbehaving at the pool swearing and being loutish and that is just the kids[msneek]

    Food is the biggest let down once you live in the US...you go out to eat and everything is in a bun...you eat at home...well if you like steak you'll do OK...but apart from that everything costs the earth...[msnsad]

    Its amazing when I talk to the americans how they say how
    expensive things are. They should come to the UK and see
    how expensive things are here. I suppose its all relevant
    things will be dearer in other countries, but not so much
    in the States in my experience[msnsmile2][msnsmile2]

    I went to a Sleuth night and got chatting to some other visitors to Orlando. They were from Kansas and couldn't believe how expensive things were in Orlando, said food was at least a third more than back home.
