Hello! I was wondering if I could get some advice from the DVC experts on how you go about planning your trips 11 months or more in advance.
My past Disney trips have all been planned 1 to 1.5 months before going. This was easy because I could just:
- See which days had the cheapest flights
- Book the cheapest hotel off property (that was still a decent hotel) for those dates
- Wait for the 30 day mark to get my fastpasses
- Go!
But now, planning so far in advance, I'm struggling with almost.. too much choice? And not being able to browse flight costs. I know which months I want to go and for about how many days, but that's not helping me much. Do I try to plan to check-in and check-out days to land on days that are normally cheaper to fly on (Tues, Weds, Sat)? Do I not worry about that and just plan when I want to go and hope I can get not-outrageous flights?
When planning I've always been told flights first and everything else second, which doesn't work in this case. Not having flight costs to make the decision for me isn't helping my indecisiveness.
I really enjoy planning though, so looking for any tips on how you pick your dates!
