Best Time - Advice Please

Hi All
Well after many family holidays to Wdw and 2 divorces later I am ready to take the plunge and do WDW solo
I am hoping to go 3/10 Sept 12 but it's not set in stone my qusestios are
1 I've got a quote for Man- Mco with US airways. £488 1 connection does anybody think the flights for this period may come down
2. Any input on US Airways I've usually flown with Virgin direct etc
3. I'm going to stay in a value Disney but in preferred room for security but as time goes on the prices are going up so waiting for cheaper flights seems a catch 22 situation
4 I've looked at complete Orlando but do you get magical express included if you book with them rather than dicta with Disney

Thanks:

1 - I booked a CDG-MCO indirect for october on US Airways at £430 at the beginning of this month. I regularly check prices to see how our flight's price changes, as of now I only see it going up. Prices may eventually go down but I wouldn't bet on it. Still you're flying alone, so there are better odds getting a discounted seat.
As of now I would tell you that it is a decent price.
It might all come down to how long your layovers are and the total flight time, as well as the type of plane

2 - They're not worse than any other air carrier.
Complimentary advance seat selection, standard 23kg suitcase allowance in economy + carry on + personal item
Some planes do not provide seatback entertainment such as the 767s which might be flying in the fall in place of the current A330s on TATL
Earphones are also not free. You may want to take your own. Note that they most often use dual jack plugs, you'll need an adaptator.

3 - I don't know what you mean by security, but I've always stayed standard at values, and the only security issue we had was when my wife got stalked by a rabbit on her way to the food court at POP

4 - I don't see why you couldn't get magical express, lol, it's available to all disney resort guests, no matter how you booked. Ask CO about booking DME, they'll probably do it for you

We booked with CO when we stayed at OKW and were able to use Magical Express - I believe it is a benefit of being a WDW resort guest rather than booking through them.

By security I meant being near to main building and not far away due to being solo
