We are celebrating our 35th anniversary in January and are returning to Disney World where we had our honeymoon in 1978. We are driving down from New Jersey (we often vacation down South).
We have made reservations for 4 nites at the Poly the week of Jan. 14th, and were told that there were (as yet) no promotions but we had until Nov. 30th to find any deals and/or adjust our plans to match any that may come up. We also have that long to decide on trip insurance.
We did choose the meal plan (Quick, Table & Snack) and have made dining reservations at Narcossee's, Via Napoli, Raglan Road and Liberty Tree Tavern.
After booking we received (probably by coincidence) a Disney Destinations offer for WDW Resorts mentioning discounts of 25% or 30% at certain resorts for certain dates in October, November & December (with only rooms allocated).
I am asking for advice on these points:
- were we told correctly that until Nov. 30th we can adjust plans to match any new announced deals (of course that assumes we could get room and dining reservations)?
- would it be worth trying for mid-December to take advantage of the 25/30% offer we got in the mail, assuming we can get in the "limited number of rooms")
- we want to avoid crowded times, whether that be school break times or any other events that may make for long lines, in January 2013 would there be a better week?
- any other general advice, including but not limited to trip insurance
This is my first post to WDW Magic so I apologize in advance if I have made any forum posting mistake(s).
Thanks for any advice!!!
