We went in May 2009. Booked with jetsave as we wernt confident to do it all separately. Booked a Disney villa as we didn't like the idea of all being in a hotel room. Although if you do decide on a Disney hotel you get a pass to get in early.
We had the best holiday ever
I've just booked to go again in July 2013. Would have liked to go again in May but DS is 14 in April and it's not good for him to be having time off school.
We were going to book separate flight and villa, car hire etc but found a good deal with cosmos that meant we could book it and pay by May. No idea how much it compares to what other people paid but for 4 adults (kids are 14 and 11) it cost £4200 for a detached villa with pool, flights with monarch, car hire fully comp. we paid £4500 in 2009 so I thought this was a good price.
I looked at flights separately and best price I could get was £2400 for 4 people flying from Gatwick. We knew where we wanted the villa (in kissimmee) and price was good privately rented but I haven't saved so couldn't pay for the flight straight away.
I would recommend thedibb website, lots of tips and money saving ideas
I would also recommend getting a disney book off amazon, it was a good help for us.
When you get over there prices are really good (if the dollar is good) I think we spent 1000dollars over 2 weeks for all food and spends, which worked out at about £600 ish. We didnt go shopping for clothes though but wish we had.
