We have just booked 16th April for two weeks from Manchester for £320 each.I have never seen them that cheap. So it would have been rude not to go.

Every year and always around the same time of April to June I see posts on Hot UK Deals of a last minute flight only return to Florida from £160 upwards!
Of course the down side is these are last minute bookings so luck has to be on your side.

So, has anyone been brave enough to book a Disney Hotel during the free dining promotion and hold out for cheap flights for the end of April?

We went at the end of April last year and watched the flights drop by hundreds a few months after we booked. Trying to decide if I'm brave enough to book the free dining for April 2018 and then hope we can tweak the dates with Disney once the flights drop

Aha! Glad you got a good price for your flights. Please let us know what you end up doing... hopefully CBR will 'magic' a few extra nights for you!

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 would love to go at these fab prices & considered it previously-however when dmil is travelling with us we need to be all booked and sorted-no hanging around.

Realistically, even if it was just me & dh I don't think I could hang on & wait till the VERY last minute
surely you'd have to pay your wdw balance before booking flights if leaving it right to the last minute...
I definitely wouldn't have the nerve for that
