So, in theory if you had overbooked a few nights at either side of your trip (to guarantee they wouldn't sell out), you could have then just reduced your booking and paid the admin fee? Does anyone see a flaw in my plan? Obviously, other than not being able to get flights at all, or the price going up!

I think I would under book! Only book 7-10 nights in the middle of my dates, that way you have some leeway with flights. That way you could have a few nights at universal or a week in a villa or at the beach.

We're going in June and I'm absolutely holding out till April. I've never waited this long, but every single year the deals at the end of April are fantastic so I'm white knuckling it.

I'll probably cave 😂😂

we went mid June last year and booked with thomson on 13th May so just 3 weeks from booking to going!
It was 2 ad and 3 ch from manchester-sanford direct for £1300 that was 14nts inc Ramada on I drive

This year we cannot go until end of June/start July and I have nothing yet

that sounds like a plan

if the prices back on the 15th had been the same as 11th (£149 per adult) I would have booked the 18 days and kept Disney at 14 days and booked somewhere cheap for first 4 days.

Flight prices for july next year TC Man to MCO are sub £500 atm.

I remember that deal - that was scary good

if you could guarantee that every year, that's as cheap as a last minute Spanish hol.

TC were cheapest 50 days before we travelled. they are only cheap now from Manchester so giving that a whirl.

I would love to have the nerve to book last minute but I just can't do it and for next year we are now tied to school holidays, damm children
I've booked TC for April, £379 couldn't argue with that just need free dining to happen now please
With regards to under/over booking. Somebody mentioned a while back that you could over book your dates but only book for one adult. Then when you have flight sorted you can add everybody else on which will increase the value (even if you reduce dates) and avoid any admin fee and availability issues. Also means on £50 deposit

[mike4scuba]

We are going to hold out til after Easter to see if cheap flights become available
If they do we go if they don't we won't

That's how I booked Disney last year for this summer, booked the maximum 3 weeks hoping for 2 weeks plus when I could get good flight prices. As it happened I managed to get the BA flydrive glitch for the exact dates so we are doing 3 weeks ☺️
