Ride with the Simpsons direct to Florida

Well known and respected Florida specialist Travel City Direct is giving away DVD’s of The Simpsons Movie to celebrate the opening of the new Simpsons ride at Universal Orlando Resort later this year.

When customers book a 14-night Florida holiday from the tour operator plus their 2-day, 2-park Universal Orlando tickets by 28 February they will receive a free Simpsons Movie DVD.

This offer is launched with the third edition of Travel City Direct’s Florida brochure, which covers January 2008 to April 2009. The brochure is now available by visiting travelcitydirect.com.

Also included in the brochure is a vast range of holidays and accommodation throughout the Sunshine State, with the theme park capital of the world, Orlando, featuring strongly. Both Disney and Universal hotel options are available, along with hundreds of other properties in easy reach of the theme parks, ranging from budget properties up to the highest level of luxury. Private houses and apartments are also a very big part of Travel City Direct’s offering, proving more and more popular with customers each year.

As well as Orlando and Kissimmee, Travel City Direct offers single, twin-centre and touring options to the Gulf coast resorts of Clearwater, St Petersburg, Sarasota, Fort Myers, Naples and Marco Island. On the wilder Atlantic coast, St Augustine, Daytona Beach, Cocoa Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami are featured, with the jewel-like Florida Keys attracting visitors down to the far south of the state. Even cruises to the Caribbean with Carnival are offered.

Prices start from £249pp for 14 nights at the Tuscana Resort in Kissimmee for a “home from home” self-catering apartment this January, and £259 per person for hotel holidays in the Kissimmee area. Prices include charter flights with Travel City Direct’s sister company, XL Airways from London Gatwick, Manchester, Glasgow and Cardiff on modern, wide-bodied Boeing 767 and Airbus A330 aircraft. Upgrades from economy to XL Premium and XL One start from £179 and £229 per person respectively.
