speculation on dec. discounts, opinions wanted!

[mikewdw]

we were planning the week before Christmas (both of us teachers) for 5 days four nights. online priced about 2900 (POR, PH, DP) for 2 adults, 3 children (ages 6, 4, 4) with new Visa plan same type trip in early june runs about 2100. huge savings. but last year, late, they offered free dining until dec. 24 so we were able to get it and saved us a ton. what are chances (i know it is strictly speculation) of discounts for dec. 18-24 this year? this will probably be last year the school calendar works out for us to get a whole week before Christmas for a few years. we would like the Christmas trip but $800 is a lot of money! we need to make a decision asap! also concerned about heat affecting our time in the parks.
any advice or info greatly appreciated!

Hi Mike,

Right now those dates are in the black out dates even for AAA room only discounts. Unfortunately we have no way of knowing if they will release those dates to be included in any discounts until it get much closer to your travel dates. It will depend on how full the resorts are as we get closer to the Holiday Season.

As far as the heat you can expect it to be anywhere from the mid 70's through the upper 80's. I have been there with the occasional freak cold snap when you need a jacket also. Your best bet is to check www.weather.com to watch how the weather patterns are for that time of year.

have a great trip!

Pam, what do you think the chances are of them offering a Discount in early December (3rd-11th)??? When we went to Dec 2008 I was able to take advantage of a % off the room rate. Would love free dining to be offered!! What are your thoughts? Thanks!!! :wave:

Last year I do believe they did the buy 4 get 3 for that time frame. Historically there has been a discount for those dates so I think there is a very good chance.

That is just what I wanted to hear Pam!!! Thank you! :wave: I know when we went in the beginning of Dec 2008 I was able to get a % of the room for my stay. Basically we upgraded to CSR from POP and the total basically stayed the same! My fingers are crossed!
