I'm with Galaxy Flyer. I'd disconnect earlier, rather than later. Turn off the AP/FD/AT and fly it down from 5-10,000. Earlier if you like.
I know what you mean, sometimes it does seem to float above the GS. Just push it down. There's nothing else you can really do but apply nose down input. Correct a small deviation before it gets too big.
I also feel as though I have better control of the airplane (especially in the flare) with the AT off- particularly in the last 100ft or so.
