Booking straight through Disney for 2019, but how much will flights be?

[K689]

I’ve just had a look at booking straight through Disneyholidays.co.uk for 2019 and it’s come up at £5546 to reserve without flights. How much should I expect to be added to the price when the flights are released? It’s for August 2019 for a family of 2 adults and 2 children. Has anyone done it this way? If so, did you encounter any problems?

There are plenty of threads on here with regard to flight pricing and August especially (We have also booked for mid August next year are doing DIY too!)
Essentially, deals are to be had with flexibility over going indirect as opposed to direct or others prefer to fly into a Florida airport other than Orlando (Tampa/Fort Lauderdale/Miami). Prices will also differ depending on which type of carrier you use i.e Thomas cook/TUI or Virgin/BA.
Are Lingus is popular as this allows you to clear US immigration at Dublin and also fly from Birmingham (if you are centrally located).
Also Don't forget Norwegian - when I was doing dummy bookings for similar dates this year they were very competitive.
Happy planning! 😊

Remember basic Norwegian flights don’t include food, luggage and I think IFE.

IMHO what people paid this year can be very different to what you will pay for next year.

In 2015 for 2A and 1C we paid £1870 for indirect flights with air Canada and a car to MCO in 2017 we paid £1275 for the same but to direct to MIA.

I know it has gone upfor 2019 I will not pay more than £2k for flights (three weeks) with midsize SUV I don’t care where we fly to in Florida, I don’t care direct or indirect, I am slightly fussy about airline (not Virgin TC or TUI) and I am flexible (within school holidays) on dates

If I can’t get the price I want we will go elsewhere


Both were on August 2015 2 weeks 2017 just under 3 weeks

In 2016 for 3 adults and child flying Gatwick -MCO paid £3200 with TC
In 2017 for 3 adults and child flying Gatwick -Tampa BA flydrive paid £2900
In 2018 for 3 adults and child flying Heathrow -Miami BA flydrive paid £2600

As has been said there are always lots of threads on here about flight prices in August, the ballpark seems to be around £500 per person indirect and £1k per person direct. But better bargains than that can be found by regularly searching skyscanner and checking on here when people post about amazing prices they've found (often called glitches and need to be quick to book online as they disappear quickly) For example for Aug 17 I got lucky seeing one of those glitch tips on here and paid £1271 total for 4 people (2 adults, 1 teen, 1 child) Gatwick-Miami-Orlando. Another way to bring August prices down is to have return flight in early September, especially a few days into term time if you are able to be flexible on that - we can't as DH is a teacher but I've seen really good direct prices on here for those that can.

“4 people (1 adult, 1 teen, 1 child)” hope you husband isn’t a math teacher
