First Time DIY
Weve been to WDW 5 times but always booked a package - thinking of going DIY in Sept 2019. WDW direct is quoting £3857.00 for 2 weeks at POFQ - so going by last years package the flights cost £2357.00 (this was for 3 adults - so each flight must have cost about £785.00) Do u think it would be cheaper to wait till nearer the time to book the flights and would it work out cheaper than a package deal.

September is off peak, so I'd be planning for £500pp or less at that time of year. £785pp us way too high IMO

Sept generally cheapest for flights. Even direct from Manchester should be less than £500.

My limit would be £450 with Virgin, including a bag, for September.

Thanks for all your replies - I think we will have a go at DIY - seems like we may save some money.

Not necessarily, just price it up yourself and take it into a TA and get them to beat it (I do this every year and always get a deal - biggest discount was 23% off Virgin advertised price).
Last few trips have been booked through Thomas Cook (package pulled together with their Signature team) although nothing we are having is from TC themselves (direct flights with BA for ~£600pp in school holidays, on-site at Disney for 2 weeks, Disney tickets and hotel in Fort Lauderdale for 3 nights). Also got $200 gift card even though the offer had dropped to $100. So you can still get DIY prices through a TA (and ATOL protected etc), there’s always a deal to be done. |

Always wait until nearer the time to book flights. Paid just over £500 with virgin with luggage in April this year for September. Probably could have got cheaper as they change daily but we were happy with that price and then stopped looking. Midweek is often cheaper.

Yes flights will be cheaper for sure, we have only been once and did it DIY. The price of package holidays is scary for a family of 6.
