Disneyland Paris in December, better to book now or wait?

Hi all,

Looking at going to DLP in December, travelling out Mon 7th from Lpool, returning Fri 11th. Going on the disney site the Newport bay is available and comes out at £795.60, 2 adults one kid, park tickets, meals included offer (if booked by nov 16th I think)

I'm going to book the flights now with easyjet as I know they will move, my qusetion is it it better to book now, or wait til the very last minute?

What is the fluctuauion in price likely to be? Also what about booking the day before the offer ends in Nov, any idea of a price fluctuation then?

Thanks in advance

    that seems a really good price, i would book now, especially with the food offer as its extortionate, and if you want meals included if you book after the date will add quite a bit to your costs.

    if you book after the meal offer and want to buy half board vouchers, i am not sure if npb is hb+ or HB premium vouchers, but costs of plus per person per night is £24 for adults and £10 and hb premium is £42 per adult and £16 for kids, plus on the special offer, you also get a counter service voucher to use in the parks in the day.

    make sure you book via quidco as they pay cash back, i am due to receive £50 for our booking
