When is the right time to turn off A/P while landing?

Its common in the US to leave the automatics off under 18000 feet, + or - due to workload.

I turn it off as soon as I drop below 28,000. Why let the autopilot have all the fun?

It depends on what I am flying. For private and commercial jets I typically turn it off when given last vector to final on an ILS approach. I then hand-fly the localizer intercept and all the way to the runway.
