US help.

Thanks. Yes, certainly will do Disney but perhaps not all the parks. Most likely will miss the magic kingdom and do the other 3 parks.

Disney hotel is Expensive. I found much cheaper one about 15min drive.

As for transport. I find most full size SUV after 7 passenger the max it claim is 5 bags. Don't think is enough.
Do you think newbie driving a 12 seaters van in Florida is a good idea?

Do Disney World, I mean, my goodness, how can you go to Orlando and not do Disneyworld. Never done it myself, but the tip is apparently to stay on-property at Disney rather than going off-property. And heck, you could easily spend four days at Disney; dunno about Universal Studios though.

7 people for two weeks, you might be able to get away with a big SUV instead of a 12-seater van.

Yes, LA we did 1 day each in Disney and Cali Adventure.
Personally, I dislike theme parks. I don't take ride, hate crowd and food is Ex. But traveling with kids, these are the must do.

I went LA Disney land last time. Spent just a day in there and I had enough. Depends on whether you like amusement parks.

Thanks. I reckon we 7 will have 7 luggages. maybe more

If you want to rent "huge SUVs"
Not all rental locations have them, you will need to contact the company directly and ask. Eg, 5 Adults + Luggage.
A 7 seater is just nice if you have 4x standard size luggage.

rented a chevy suburban back in 2014, 4A2C (with carseats)

made for a comfy ride but really no space for bags lol, coz US is piece concept (6x2=12 bags) had to get my BIL to drive us back to Houston just to carry bags, and then another family friend with a truck gave us a ride as well.

esp since you are going to outlet.....good luck there!

Taking aside disney and universal, most people prefer seaworld to legoland.

Can also consider eating dinner at the Orlando eye.

Thanks. Did SeaWorld the last trip. In fact, we stayed inside Legoland then, not knowing that the park were closed for reno. So, the kids is like die die must do Legoland this time round.

Domestic flights has weight and size limit for luggages, not so for international correct?

I personally have never rented a car from JFK, but generally Hertz is a good choice for car rentals. As long as you possess a valid driver's license in English, you should be fine with renting a car anywhere.

There are a few postal couriers in the US, USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. The cheapest for domestic shipping, is of course USPS, not sure about international though.

But I would assume it would depend on where you are shipping it to. For example, if you were shipping from Seattle, to Vancouver, it should not cost as much as say Sacramento to Ontario. But you should check their websites individually to check and compare prices.
