Hi, planning spring 2015 trip

I am wondering if its a good idea to book Resort, tickets and flight through the Disney web site.
Is that where we will get the best deal??
We have never been on a vacation before. Our daughter graduates college in December and want to do something great to celebrate and Disney is what she wanted.

I've "run the numbers" on the site before, and the flights they give me are always limited in number and overpriced. I'd suggest finding your own flight arrangements, keeping in mind the way your local airlines price their flights. (For example, when I fly JetBlue I book as soon as the schedule is released, because the prices start at their lowest and only go up from there. If I'm flying a bigger, major airline, then often the best price is offered a month or so before the flight. Everybody does it differently...) Once you've booked your flights, you can call WDW and give them your flight information for purposes of Disney's Magical Express transportation from the airport to onsite resorts, if you are using that service.

Sometimes you do save money by booking a room+ticket "package" with Disney, especially if there is a discount offer going on. If your daughter graduates in December and you can wait until January to travel, you will be going to WDW at one of the least crowded, and least expensive, times of year -- a low price "season" during which WDW has typically offered room discounts and/or free dining. That doesn't mean that you should delay your booking to wait and see, however. WDW discounts aren't limited to "new reservations," so you can go ahead and book the trip now, and if a discount comes out later, you can call WDW and have it applied to your reservation.

thank you for your quick response! I do appreciate it! They (she and her bf) were really wanting to hold off till February/March to go.
We are weighing our options, drive (we are in northern Illinois) or fly....
I guess we will have to wait until the 2015 rates are released and then decide
Again Thanks.

February and March are also good times to go (particularly if you can avoid the time around President's Day, and the latter half of March, when spring break season begins).
