Staying on site is for me so expensive. I know you have DDP, tickets, hotel and shuttles but I still think DIY gives you a much better deal.
August 2017 5 adults Flights @ £550pp SUV car hire with all Insurances £500 booked as a package so only paid a deposit. 4 bed villa with conservation view £1,650 5 x Disney ticket (with 25%off) £259 pp. I realise that you need to add on £170 to the Disney tickets for todays £429. We ate in mostly with a few meals out and had a spend of $125 each day at the parks, and we did very well for food. Of course, a couple of special meals at Disney were over this budget. For 5 of us with Disney accommodation, DDP and flights I was quoted by a well recommended TA for dibbers over £11,000. Its purely a matter of personal choice for accommodation and of course one's finances. Bargain flights are out there just stick to your budget and you will find them or another dibber will flag them up. Happy Disney whichever you choose. |

We always go during the last 2 weeks of August. We know these dates will not sell out so wait and book last minute (almost). Usually booking around the April/May of the year we want to go. We choose the cheapest flights, often indirect 1 stop. We book the hotel via Disney USA which always has the 30% off summer saver offer during the period we book. Last time we picked up AKL for the same price as PORS on the Disney site, it just appeared so grabbed it.
The problem for many is that they book too soon before the flights are released so end up paying a premium just for the flights.

We fly from Dublin so many indirect choices but I have always said that indirect isnt as bad as you think. We always find that a direct flight means we arrive in Orlando very hungry but with indirect you get to stop off, stretch your legs and get a decent meal.
The loss of time with the stop off is easily made up, especially if your clearing immigration before MCO.

We fly PE with Thomas Cook and are looking at £1k each during summer holidays 2020. We have priced up economy, look at add-ons such as baggage as you get more allowance in PE, extra leg room as you get more in PE, extra drinks, then look at price difference, we end up flying PE.
