ot having flights booked is such a pain
You have until 20th Oct to receive the free DDP with Disney direct or 3rd Nov if you go via Virgin Holidays for a package & by then more flights will be available for Aug and you might be sorted

Yes you can. If the new price is cheaper than the old then you'll need to may the admin fee but otherwise it's waived. Free dining is available until the 3rd November although the gift card offer ends on the 20th October so you have until then.

this sounds like my plan! We are staying a week onsite at OKW (no car, using free transport to get from airport) for our first week then hiring a car and a villa for our second 2 weeks. We have booked OKW 30th July - 6th Aug 16 but we dont have flights yet either. The lady at WDW said, as others have confirmed, that as long as our overall cost doesnt go down then we can amend our booking foc. If the overall cost goes down then there is a £50 admin fee.

You have until 3rd November to book free dining direct with Disney too. It's the $100 gift card that ends on 20th October

Snap! Unless the return flight is from Miami then we would have the last leg at Key Largo or similar and I want to fit a night a RPR in somewhere.

I have not made any Villa plans either because of not knowing the dates! Booking a Disney holiday takes over my life, I love it as much as being there ... almost

oo0h yes we looked at staying at the Keys for a bit but it got out of hand very quickly so now we're sticking with Disney/villa. (unless, like you, return flight is Miami ). I have about 25 villas on my favourites list so hopefully at least one of these will still be available when I've booked the flights. We also looked at a night at Universal for the FOLP but we decided against as we dont have much planned in our last week (it was supposed to be for chilling out but know from experience we will be climbing the walls after a day) so will spread out or Universal time to get everything done. I am also tied to our plans now somewhat as travelling with me, DS (12) and DD (10) is the kids dad (and my ex husband). He as a strict budget for his half and we have reached it so that is stopping me from getting out of hand - which isnt a problem as I have already decided that we will just have to go again in a few years to do anything we dont do this time
