But with so many decisions to be made about flights this can be confusing. So here are some of our top tips for booking your flights out to Orlando.
- The airport you want to be flying into is Orlando International Airport (MCO)
- Definitely check the sta website or use the new Yummy Travel as they tend to have some of the best prices
- You can fly out a few days before the programme starts if you like but it is really not necessary. You liase with Disney about your flight and they are aware of anyone who is arriving late and even flight delays and cancellations. As long as you tell them your arrival time in Orlando on the day they will accommodate you.
- If you are unsure about travelling after, it's okay! You can ask your airline/booking agent about having a flexible return date - this way you can change your mind while you are out there and move your date according to your plans for a fraction of the cost. Again, sta and yummy travel are especially good for this.
- With most airlines you can choose your seat online so don't worry about having to book at the same time as other cast members in order to sit together.
- Once booked, use things like the forums and facebook groups to find out who else is on the same flight as you.
- Make sure you check the baggage allowance on the flight you have booked, as a general rule, for long haul flights one bag of about 23kg and hand luggage are included in the price - but make sure!
