Exchange Rate

[richard3330]

Hi ,

We have the balance of our Disney and Unviersal room rates for our holiday in April still to pay (we've only paid the deposits).

With such good exchange rates at the moment do you think I should pay the entire amount off now? I would probably prefer to wait until arrival and pay the outstanding amounts (and keep the money in our accounts until then!) but if the exchange rate is set to change, it will, in turn change what we believe to be the total amount in pounds from dollars at the moment to something possible higher in pounds than I am currently owing.

Any advice??

Thanks!

Richard.

I think we're going to go for it Richard and pay now for the wedding - yes we know the rate could go up but the way we see it is that we're already saving money (not strictly true as I'm spending more now ) from what we thought the wedding was going to cost us in £ last September.

We've got some spending money already and if it goes up lots between now and then we're going to keep the money we already had for another time and buy more for that trip.

Hope that helps you in making a decision......... it's a difficult one isn't it ?!

I would pay now if it was me!

Ive just ordered half of my TC's, thinking along the same lines as Sam.Even if the rate does go up, youve still made a good killing at todays rates!

Im now thinking of buying my AP's ready for our 2005/2006 trips because the rate is so good.

Were also in the process of paying the final balance on our hotels for our vegas trip in May, cant really afford not to at the moment.

Thanks Jules & Sam !

I think I'll give WDTC a ring later and pay it all off like you said with the rate as it is at the moment we are already saving.

Thanks again

Richard.
