Please could someone let me know the sort of price they were able to book August 2007 flights for using Mile and money and when they booked. Looking to go next year during school holidays and free dining.
Thanks
 
We are planning to go in August 2009 and have been keeping an eye on m+m prices. The lowest I've seen them go for this August was about £620.
It's a bit hit and miss though and you need to keep checking for the best prices.

Also, take a look at ThomsonFly flight prices, they seem to be very competitive. Flights for next August from Birmingham are around £612(including meals and seating together). You can also pay extra for excess baggage.
 
I looked at the price for the end of next July and it was £520 plus 2000 miles which is pretty good. :goodvibes
 
We booked M&M flights for June 27 next year (the start of the school hols) for £420 plus 2,000 miles.

I booked for last week july (school hols ) and first week in august and booked them in march this year.Flew PE one way and paid £1469 for 2 adults and a child using miles plus money.I think it is about the end september beginning of august they will appear on VA's site.Prices do vary and you may book and then find 3 months down the line they are cheaper but then they may go up or sell out so it is a gamble.:thumbsup2
 
Thanks, £1469 is pretty good as I have paid £1300 for 2 adults and 1 child for 3 weeks on 8th December. Also going out PE. Was expecting prices to be much higher.
 
We have had a quote from virgin for 17 nights next august 2 adults and 3 children - £5700 staying at POR including ultimate tickets and free dining, booking direct through disney uk for the room tickets and dining is £2213, so that leaves £3487 for us to get 5 flights in August, Desicions desicions its a difficult call but think we are going to wait for flight prices to come out and hope that rooms are still available if virgin comes out cheaper.:confused3
 
We came out to Florida on the 2nd Aug returning home:sad1: Mon 27th paid £533+ 2000 miles each. I never saw them any cheaper. Most we have ever paid for Virgin flights with or without using miles.
 
We would be well happy if we could get somewhere around that figure wayne £533 + miles would still leave us a fair bit cheaper than doing it as a package with virgin, What chance the accomodation getting fully booked whilst we are waiting for the flight prices to come out? think its a risk that we are going to have to take:confused3
 
If you are bookinh seperates, have a look at Continental Airlines, British Airways, plus the charters
 
Thanks Obi will do. Are there flight prices out now or will they come out the same time as virgin release theres. We thought virgin would be cheaper because we have the miles from this years holidays that we could use to reduce the costs but will certainlt do a bit of searching round. thanks again
:thumbsup2

If booking direct with VA its 11 months in advance, give a day or so, if VH, they are out now.

Some of the Charters might be out now, all scheduled airlines work on a date around 336 days from your return date as the first available prices.

Hotels never get fully booked in Orlando, I have gone Xmas day, the busiest week of the year and booked day before. If you want a certain hotel you might have problems but there is alwys a room somewhere.
 
Hi Burt
When we went this time in august to POR the hotel was really quiet but one of the CM's told us they were a lot busier when the free dining plan started but we looked the week we went for the end of august into september and POR was still availible.As you know it is a huge resort and I don't think you will have any problems.Virgins flight should be out in the next month if you are going mid august:thumbsup2
