Can you view available seats prior to booking?

Being retired the Fairphils are not too bound by flight times - but - do have our favorite seats.
Is to possible to view seat maps of available seats prior to making a booking.
I know you can do this and select seats as a final part of the booking process - but you have already commited to the booking before reaching this point
Many thanks
Fairphil

Of course, use ExpertFlyer - in the ExpertFlyer forum you'll find your access codes.

Hmm, I've just become a silver member and tried to use expert flyer only to be told I can't have a code till my free month's trial is up - not much use when my flight is is 4 weeks time![:(]
Can anyone give me seat availability on vs75 on 28 April and vs76 on 9th May please[?].

Good grief, so economy is totally full? Seems odd as it's the middle of term time. God I hope it's not full of screaming babies and toddlers!

Considering the length of time until the flights I'd say every single seat will be taken both ways!

I'm not a man, I'm a laydee! How very dare you.
It will be me and hubby, 17 year old daughter and her boyfriend.
I thought May was a quiet season, excluding whit week? As evidenced by the flydrives being £370.

because Easter is really early this year, all the school holidays are to pot. Some areas are early April, some are later.

This coincides with Spring Break at US schools eg link

I researched this very carefully, all UK school hols are over, the last US spring break finishes on the 27 April, although having looked at the above link, I've missed one, damn it.
Oh well, I've been over Easter before and survived.

Damn - I looked at your profile too and it showed your name as Shaun, hence my reply!

I think this time of year is just always busy, irrespective of when Easter/Spring Break is, the weather is good but not too hot like in the summer months. It is very difficult to find a 'quiet' time at Disney apart from maybe Jan/Feb.

I was a member a while ago and couldn't log in with my details, so I just stole my hubby's identity.lol.
Even Feb has it's moments, we were there 5 years ago and couldn't figure out why it was so busy, I'd never heard of presidents day back then! September is meant to be quiet, but I couldn't be doing with the weather then. I think I've been spoilt by first choice and their premier cabin, it's fab and much much cheaper than prem. econ. This time last year, we were in Mexico sunning ourselves and drinking cocktails by the pool.

Its quite quiet just now, although been busy at the beginning of the week. Jan/Feb is a good time to go, but not the very beginning of Jan, this year, until the 3rd or 4th it was the busiest we had ever seen it, including peak summer months. Last year around the end of May was superb, very warm, no humidity and Very quiet.

Must go now, the pool (bar) awaits [;)]

I very much hope it stays that way then. Arrive next Sat and I would love it to be nice and quiet. Have you noticed if Disney has started to put up any 'no kids week' signs starting from the 5th yet, I am sure they must have had my emailed request by now? [:w][}:)]

Well Neil, if you achieve that it'll the one and only time I ever go to Disney ... that and perhaps gay days but even then the little nippers are allowed in!
