What’s the smallest countdown / latest you’ve booked Florida?

Looking to do a last min deal in May as they had good deals last year. Did anyone get some good deals ?

We booked on July 14th this year and go on 4th Sept this year so 52 days between booking and going.

We have never done this but my DH is retiring in Oct, so although I have booked for next year already as wanted free dining, I will look out for bargains after that. Just make sure you have your ESTA in place before you book. There have been horror stories on here re ESTA rejection and then having to fly to Ireland etc. just to get one done if its rejected at source, so I wouldn't even think about booking before I had one.
Personally, it would have to be a real bargain as food costs so much so the free dining is fab, so usually do book a year in advance. Think this is our longest ever count down. Great if you are not staying at Disney though. At the mo. for a family of 3 with TUI for the 28th Aug, its only £411 - bargain. Thats two weeks in LBV.

6 weeks - trust me for me that’s last minute.

Was a responsible deal but more a whim booking than anything

We booked April 1st this year and flew the 21st...that was quick for us as it was a TUI hol and we live in Tenerife so needed to get flights etc from here to uk.
The villa we got was far superior to what we booked. Would definitely do again xx

90 days. Booked on 17th June and go on 16th September. I did the ESTAs in the morning and booked the flights and accommodation in the afternoon, Disney tickets a month later, and we’re still to book the car. Just trying to spread the cost a little.

I’m not lying when I say this was an impulse holiday, we weren’t planning to go back for another 4 years, and it’s been 4 years since we last went.
