I will be traveling to Disney Oct from BHM (Birmingham Alabama) to MCO, prices are now are between 189 and 198 depending on if you leave on a weekday or weekend.

Has anybody bought there airline tickets this early when trip is 7 months away.just not sure what to do, last year bought tickets around 4 to 6 weeks for 125.00 each, but was kinda a last minute trip, yes a month or two is a last minute trip fo me. :rotfl2:

so anyway what you guy's think I should do buy now and hope noting goes wrong or wait till closer time to go??
thanks Brooke :)
 
We are going at the end of November, I bought our tickets 2 weeks ago. I was worried with the cost of fuel rising that the price would just keep going up.
I used cheaptickets.com and got ours for $157 per person (we are coming from detroit).
I have been checking every few days and they have gone up already. I am glad I bought them already.
 
We're going in Oct., too, and I'm waiting. Independence Air has a $103 RT ticket, but you can only book through May 30th. SWA is the same -- only through Aug. I'm waiting until closer and keeping my Travelocity Fairwatcher and SWA DING! programs primed. I'm sure these flights will still be around then...I fly monthly for work and keep a pretty close eye on airfare.
 
I would get them now. I was searching for fares with midwest and had $218
but by the time we confirmed everyone was o.k. with the dates the rates went up to $255. We are traveling in Dec. so I hope we have plenty of time to see them go down again. :flower:
 

We are going in Nov. 2005 and I bought my tickets from Boston to Orlando on Delta Song last week. We got round trip non-stop for $155 p/p. That was low enough for me so I booked it now just to be safe.

I'm worried about the impact of fuel prices as well and am currently trying to decide if I should buy now or wait. Out trip isn't until December.

Best wishes -
