How cheaply can you do WDW or DLR in the summer holidays? I need some help please?!

Flights with Thomas Cook, Thomson and Monarch usually come out in May for the following Summer. Virgin and British airways are 11 months out. Last year the best deals with WDW were probably September, we booked earlier in June and missed out on reward card. Have a look on allears.net for lots of info on accomodation, dining etc

I've just looked at some prices and I recon I could do it for £4,100 - but that would be flying out one of the London airports (I'm Midlands so it always works out cheaper from Gatwick) but always direct flights.
Breakdown..
Flights-£2,100
Villa- £900 (off site but we've always had beautiful ones with lake views etc)
Car -£350 (midrange, add £100 if you want something nicer)
DW tickets £750 (add another £330 if you want Universal too)

Obviously you need to add food etc. on top but IMO that's very reasonable and we've found numerous great restaurants that eclipse all but the very best (and most expensive) Disney have to offer. We're not fnd of the 'free' Disney dining plan as there are too many restrictions and it's supposed to be a holiday (plus the accom pricing is inflated on many occasions to make it 'free' IMO)

Also I think it's better to go as early in July as possible as the flights are usually a little cheaper.

Just my 2c

The Villas that would get free dining are resort hotels really, the cheapest 2 are SSR and OKW.

Flights are available 11 months from your return date.

This is what I thought to, I wouldn't consider them offsite as they have a complete resort feel to them nothing like villas that are offsite.

Thanks, my pricing would come in at that/little bit less if I removed the dolphin swim and other passes.

We can't go early July, as I am a teacher so it's end of July/August for us!

Thanks

The term offsite was a mis-use by me, I meant he doesn't want to stay in a traditional hotel. A villa onsite is fine.
