Also looking for July-Aug 2025. Norse have some good prices from LGW (about £700 return) but too far for us. What are my chances for a similar deal from MAN?

Holding off booking a Disney hotel but may book before the current dining offer ends.

I also saw this deal I was gutted it wasn’t closer to home, I’m hopeful of a good deal from Manchester but time will tell

We booked back in April for August 2025. Me and my wife going with her parents and her neices who they look after.

Going for 21 nights, flying from Edinburgh direct, stopping at Universal Surfside for the first 8 days in a 2 bedroom suite and with tickets then moving to Pop Century in seperate rooms for 13 nights with value dining plan included and disney tickets.

Came to £17994 for all 6 of us or £2999 each with Ever After Holidays as they beat every one elses quotes by about £500.

What are you thinking of doing transport wise? Will you be hiring a car or using local and Disney transportation?

Yeah me and the wife have only ever stayed on Disney property before and only ever used transport or Ubers/Lyfts to Universal or outlets.

We'll just do the same this time and use UNiversal transport for the first part of our trip then Disney Transport the second part and maybe an Uber or two to the outlets.

Will probably end up booking a Mears or something to and from the airport as there'll be six of us with numerous cases

Desperately waiting on Aerlingus from Manchester.

Went on first trip last year and just booked through Tui but happy to DIY it this time.

Plan is last 2 weeks August, week 1 WDW and week 2 Universal.

We just stayed at cabana bay last time which we loved, but spent around £450 in Ubers for the Disney parks so would like the idea of being on property.

When is the best time to book flights usually? They’re not available for our dates for another month by the looks of things.

That sounds similar to us. Same airport, same sort of time. Except we are planning 10 days Disney, 4 days Universal.

I’m going the last week of July and the first week of August from Manchester, I think my flights are due to come out at the end of next month, I have never flown with aer Lingus before but on doing dummy runs they seem to have the best price

Thanks,
Yes I’ve been doing the same this year and prices seem pretty reasonable so am hoping they’re pretty similar.

We are thinking about booking Disney to 'lock in' the price and free dining deal. Is it easy to move dates if we needed to? Only a week earlier or later at most, dependent on partner's work! We don't usually book so far out and want to be safe.

Or do Disney put out equal or better offers later in the year? In which case we would probably leave it for now.
