Disneyworld in June 2008, how far ahead should I book hotel and airline? Off season in Disney is September through November, and January through March.They take reservations at least a year, maybe a year and a half in advance, and I'd recommend making reservations as soon as possible, because even if rates go up, you still have your original prices. Especially for park tickets, they go up a few bucks every year.It's much cheaper to stay at a hotel outside of Disney world - but I think it would be more fun to stay there. They have campground options that are pretty inexpensive, and you can get a budget hotel room for around $90 a night, you can actually go to the website and compare prices for the on-Disney hotels, and some of the moderately expensive hotels ($160/night) are attractive and have water parks and shuttles.Off-Disney hotels may offer a shuttle to the parks, but you won't get the extra early hours you get if you stay there. But staying outside of Disney means you eat outside of Disney too, which WILL save you money too, since food is so expensive. June will still be busy, and hot, but not quite so bad as July or August. I've been in the mid summer and it was brutally hot and humid, but STILL sooooo much fun! Oh, and bring a few rain ponchos with you- Florida weather is unpredictable. Just check out the Disney site for good price comparisons. I never stayed at Disney world, but always really wanted to, and I bet it would be a blast. I hope you have a great time, and good luck! |
