I’ve only booked last week for July and for me that’s last minute.
We are staying on International Drive and the Uber app is giving me about $30.

We went in the Feb half-term (Saturday - Saturday, as we don't take the kids out of school for holidays).
We booked the flights around a week before we went, and then booked a house with pool (via here actually) sometime between booking the flights and the flights themselves. I wasn't too fussed about this bit - plenty of houses on AirBnB and the like, not to mention a zillion hotel rooms too. Checking back in my emails, flights were c£320 each - they were indirect with American via Charlotte but good times with short connections. I didn't think this was too bad to be flying entirely within the school holidays. We largely chilled but we did Legoland as we'd not been before and the tickets were cheap, as well as the wheel, Sea Life and Madame Tussauds at ICON Park. We did a round of mini golf at Fantasia Gardens (somewhat ironic that we've had free rounds loads of times and never used them, and then paid for this one!) and spent a couple of evenings at Disney Springs. It was a great week! |

It's an excellent price, go for it, BUT AFTER you've sorted out your ESTAs, if you haven't already. Which hotel is it? See if there are any free shuttles available. Edited at 03:32 PM. |

I did this a few years back now before children. I booked with 4 day notice and managed to get a villa as well which was brilliant for just chilling out.
Do it get the ESTA done and flight booked. You might even find it cheaper to hire a car for the week if its just the two of you. You could get away with a fiesta or similar. It was one of the best holidays to Orlando we ever had no plans just take each day as it comes.
