I read the letters about holidays in a newspaper last Wednesday and just had to add by moans for good measure. OK, in our case it was a holiday in Florida, and we got back home a month ago. Florida was fine, no complaints there, but value for money it wasn’t. But I know now that it could have been which annoys me even more!

You see, we thought we were being smart when we booked into a hotel. My friend Rachel booked the same area, for the same period, but they went for a Disney villa rental, and we thought that’s not a holiday, what with preparing your own meals and that. So we suggested they could have a break from time to time from their Disney villa rental and join us for meals and other activities at our hotel.

We duly arrived at our hotel and checked out the rooms, pool, restaurant, etc. After our flight we decided to have an early night. Rachel phoned the next day to describe her Disney villa rental, about which she was, shall we say, gushing? I was not in the best of moods because none of us could say we slept, what with the racket coming from adjacent rooms and the floor above. Our complaints to the hotel management were countered with comments about mutual tolerance, and the like.

Rachel phoned again, asking if we would like to join them at the pool at their Disney villa rental. I must confess I did respond with some smugness, imagining their Disney villa rental would have a postage stamp of a pool, whereas the hotel’s was what you would expect at a hotel. I said maybe we would drop by later and check out their Disney villa rental.

Later that day my Husband had a fracas at our hotel pool with a German holidaymaker - something about drenching a few German sunbathers when he jumped in. I suppose he could do with losing a little weight. Anyway, we couldn’t keep putting it off, so we looked up the location of the Disney villa rental and drove off.

Our instructions mentioned a lake, which we thought of more like “turn left at the George & Dragon pub”, so you can imagine our surprise when the Disney villa rental we had to look out for was right there not far from the greens and bunkers! And this was some luxury villa rental indeed, apparently one of numerous villa rentals near Disney to be found on the exclusive Emerald Island Resort, Kissimmee, Orlando. When we saw the luxury villa pool I could have choked with envy.

We spent most of the remainder of our holiday with Rachel’ family at the Disney villa rental, and even slept over a few times when we guessed the hotel was going to be noisy again. When we considered that our holiday cost half as much again as Rachel’s, we resolved to also be independent from now on and book a Disney villa rental in Orlando next time.

With Disney just 3 miles drive away, Rachel's Disney villa rental was an obvious choice. Whereas we were in the thick of it with all the hustle & bustle, Rachel was in a tranquil setting in her Disney villa rental. She could buy her Disney tickets, Universal Tickets, Sea World Tickets from Kissimmee Guest Services and have the Disney tickets delivered direct to her Disney villa rental.
