Renting Florida villas
If you’re looking to rent luxury Florida villas in the Disney area home, you can get some fantastic prices online. Three to six bedroom Florida villas can be priced from an amazing £299 per week depending on the time of year that you book. You can even rent value Florida villas from only £225 per week if you are staying between November and December, which includes three bedrooms and a private pool.

- Private screened swimming pool
- Large open plan lounge
- Fully equipped kitchen with oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and all pots, pans and cooking utensils, utility room with washer/dryer
- Cable TV, telephone, air conditioning and double garage
Tipping
Once you have rented your Florida villa, if you are eating out in cafes and restaurants than tipping is expected. You should tip 15% of the bill, although you needn’t tip in a fast food restaurant. Similar rates should be given to hairdressers, bartenders and taxi drivers.
Typical costs for everyday stuff:
If you are renting one of the luxury Florida villas than you will probably be shopping or renting a car during your stay. Some typical prices to look out for include:
A litre of petrol: $0.66
A small bottle of water: $0.99
A small bottle of beer: $3.00
Souvenir T-shirt: $16.99

Accommodation
If you are not staying in one of the luxury Florida villas, you should be prepared to splurge – hotel costs for deluxe standard can be $300 plus a night. Expect to pay between $120-300 for high class accommodation, $80-120 for middle range and $30-80 for budget accommodation.
Average Meal Prices
If you are staying in your own Florida villa you can shop cheaply for your family but in America it isn’t expensive to eat out. You can buy a cheap meal for between $5 and $10 and an expensive one will be just $20 to $30 a head.
Exchange rates
And there’s never been a better time for the British to make the most of holidays in America with almost $2 to the pound – you can afford to splurge out on luxury Florida villas at incredibly low prices.
Shopping
Premium outlet stores and bargain designer goods means it’s worth swapping the theme parks for the shopping malls. America still has the upper hand on quality and standards when it comes to discount shopping. It’s always handy taking an empty suitcase to your Florida villa – just in case you do want to make the most of the shops and the great exchange rate.
