How late would you leave it?

[dippy lippy]

I managed to get VA Gatwick - orlando return in PE last October 16th for £691pp - booked 5/6 weeks before departure. All dates either side of this were a lot more!

I wouldn’t want to pay more than £400 for those off peak dates. I would wait

I dont think anybody can really answer this question for you as it depends on how much risk you are prepared to take. Personally if I was going the end of of September I would normally book much later as I know there can be deals. However you have accommodation booked and therefore have more to lose than me. Also while September is generally deemed a cheap month there is the addition of star wars land this year which could potentially increase demand and therefore increase prices. If £150 saving can be achieved by leaving a day earlier is this not an option? You could book a room at one of the Rosen's on I Drive for a night (about £50 if you shop around) and then move on to your prebooked accommodation the following day

For £500 I’d have booked them months ago.

I had a look on skyscanner out of curiousity and I can see direct flights with Norwegian LGW>MCO on your dates for £450pp which are a lot closer to your budget.

As others have said it depends if you can hold your nerve or not. I would worry about them selling out so I wouldve booked by now

I found flights on your dates with Norwegian (Flying from LGW) £460pp including x2 20kg luggage.

Thanks for looking. I’ve seen the Norwegian flights - although we’re not picky at all between other airlines we won’t go with Norwegian after some terrible customer service a few years back.

Sorry just realised you said the same as someone else but only quoted their reply! Norwegian are the only airline we avoid

We have a great deal on the accommodation with free DDP and the time booked off work so moving too much isn’t an option unfortunately!

This is how I feel... but it’s nerve wracking!

We are considering this and may do so if we need to, I’d just rather not have the stress of asking for another day off work!
