The best way to truly see America is from the broad windows of an Amtrak passenger rail car. Facilities on board these trains have improved to such an extent that it really is an opportunity not to be missed. With routes and timetables across Florida you can plan a two centre holiday and journey between a week in Orlando and a week on the Gulf Coast of Florida by a relaxing train journey. Alternatively, you can relax in your private cabin accommodation on board or admire an all-encompassing view from the dome car on some of the trains that also criss cross America, taking in the sights and wonders of various states. You will enjoy scenes of America not accessible by any other means of transport. Travel in comfort and experience the kind of journey only a train can offer.

Grab a Bargain Holiday

The sales team at Pillinger World Travel are finding that more and more people are looking to grab a bargain and book a late deal for this summer.  This is great if you just want a quick week away and don’t have too many specific requirements.  Whilst there are some great offers for last minute holidays, you have to be a little bit flexible on dates and where you actually go to.  You can always grab a quick getaway in 2 or 3 star properties; however most 4 or 5 star hotels are booked up well in advance, often by repeat guests. Generally if these hotels do have availability they don’t reduce their prices, in fact they are more likely to increase their prices the nearer the departure date is.

For those of you who want a particular hotel or resort, or even to guarantee daytime flights it is advisable to book in advance, the other advantage of this is that you can budget for your well earned break throughout the year, even making interim payments if you wish. However we do appreciate that some people can not plan too far in advance maybe because of work commitments, or even just hanging on to see how the summer weather in the UK is shaping up.

If you find yourself thinking of a last minute holiday, or even a quick extra break in addition to your main annual holiday, give us a call with an open mind, a departure date with maybe a couple of days flexibility either side, and you could find yourself heading off on a bargain break somewhere you had never even thought of.. Check out our late deal special offers on our website, there are plenty more that we simply don’t have time to publish as they change so quickly. You can even call and leave us your details and we can keep checking and give you a call when we can offer you something we think you’ll be interested in.

New Attractions 2011

Florida is certainly putting its best foot forward for 2011 with a couple of new and exciting attractions and events planned throughout the summer.

Amongst the key highlights this summer you should look forward to the newly revamped 'Star Tours - The Adventures Continue' ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Those familiar with the previous version of Star Tours will recognize the ride vehicles and seating areas but the overall experience of this attraction has been greatly enhanced. After traveling through a queue that includes visual gags and a body scanner, riders don a streamlined pair of 3D glasses and board a shuttle. The ride takes place between the two sets of Star Wars trilogies, and features Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Yoda or other fan favorites in key roles.

Also, opening in the autumn of 2011, will be a big expansion to Dinosaur World. The expansion includes a 22,000 sq. ft. pre-historic museum that will feature everything dinosaur and a new playground. Dinosaur World is located along I-4 in Plant City.
