People think I'm crazy when I tell them how far in advance we booked our Disney Cruise. We booked our Cruise nearly 2 years before our sail date! In order to get the best price for your cruise, you should book as soon as possible because the prices will just continue to go up as the date nears. Also, the cheaper inside staterooms tend to sell out first, leaving the more expensive rooms available for those that book later.
The same principle applies for flights. The closest airport to our home is the Pearson Toronto International Airport. However, if you want to save hundreds of dollars in your flight, then it's much cheaper to fly out of Buffalo, NY. It's so much cheaper, in fact, that since we had a really early flight, we spent the night in a hotel across from the airport. Even with this additional cost, we saved at least $1000. The hotel also charged us a nominal fee for keeping our car there for 2 weeks. To secure the cheapest flights, book as soon as your date becomes available. We booked our flight 10 months before our departure.
We booked our hotel room on Disney property, 1 year before our trip. If your room goes on sale after you have booked, Disney will return the difference to you.
If you want to secure Dining at the most popular restaurants, especially character dining, or some of the nicer restaurants on property, you will need to make reservations 6 months before your trip.
When it comes to travelling to Disney, planning ahead really pays off.
