...The Sheraton Resort in Lake Buena Vista really is the best place to stay for the Orlando Experience. It's close to all the parks (car recommended) but is away from the tourist hell of International Drive. This 75 acre site has 7 pools, running tracks, reasonably priced restaurants and cafes.

Apartments are fully equiped so you can cook in or get a takeaway if you don't fancy going out.

So this is my guide to planning your dream vacation in the sun, while not getting ripped off etc etc. I'll try and entertain you with some of my experiences as we go along, too. Enjoy. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THERE? Well I've been various ways - in luxury with Virgin, with my knees cramped up on a tiny charter flight, you name it. You're likely to have a budget which...
