Hi,
I am new to the boards here but stumbled upon this site and it looks like a great place for information and resources.
My wife and I (no kids) are planning a visit to Walt Disney World in late Jan/early Feb 2018. It looks like hotels just went on sale for 2018 a few days ago. We are thinking likely a moderate resort, packaging park-hopper tickets and we would like to get the dining plan if it is included in some type of bundled discounted package. At full price, I am not sure that we would benefit from the dining package.
I am wondering what the best strategy for this time of year is for booking. Do I book now? Do I wait? The resorts appear to be at their normal rack rate pricing right now, but I am guessing I can always call in later if the prices go down and have it adjusted. Does anyone know what types of promos are usually found for this time of year? From what I've read, it's one of the slower times of year. I am assuming they'd be discounting or offering package deals at some point to drive their bookings up but I am guessing that won't happen for a few months.
We are flexible between late Jan and probably the first 2 weeks of Feb. I guess my bottom line questions are these: Do I book now and switch the reservation around to match whatever sale happens in a few months? Does it make more sense to just wait for the sale? Are there particular resorts that always end up with promos that I could secure now and then call later to have my package/rate adjusted?
I apologize in advance if these are newbie questions. Any advice is appreciated.
