Somewhere, Roy Wally is laughing at us.
I will be very happy if I'm wrong, but I just have a feeling that we're not going to see any discounts for my trip period (11/12-11/19). The dates on the BB offer are discouraging. It's kind of a double whammy because not only would I not be getting a discount, but the reason they probably aren't offering them (if they don't) will likely be that they are satisfied with projected attendance numbers, which means busier parks. Ick.
So are you already getting free dining? But were thinking you were going to be able to get a different discount that may be better? Sorry I am obviously new to this. I am with you and dislike the fact that this may mean they are happy with projected crowd levels as I will be there the same week.
Starting to get antsy waiting to start booking things for December. It is a surprise proposal trip, but I still have to watch my spending. While I wait on discounts...anyone have any insight on ticket discounts (looking for 2 day, non-hopper tickets)? You can PM me if needed.
i am getting nervous that it is going to be very crowded in early and Mid Nov.

In 2012 the November, December, January discounts did not come out until August 27th. There's no guarantee that discounts will be released but Disney has for the past 4 years straight so it most likely will happen. Probably late August early September
I wouldn't worry too much about it.
We went during the the second week of September last year which all sources said was one of, if not the least crowded times of the year. I've been during peak season in July and August before and didn't really notice a difference in September.
The podcast team has touched on this too. Disney being crowded is a law of the universe, and you can't accurately plan trips around that. There are exceptions on both ends of the spectrum (e.g. Christmas week), but I don't think there's a go-to slow period anymore (thanks Internet).
Learning to deal with crowds is easier than planning around them. In September we made sure to hit the parks early, use FP+ for everything (even easier now that you can add additional FPs on your phone), and utilize EMH. The worst part of the crowds was bus lines for our resort (CB).
Thanks for posting this info. I'm traveling that week as well to POR. It's disappointing, but I'd rather know now than keeping my hopes up. It's sort of what I figured...they have no reason to give an incentive if people are already willing to pay full price.Per my travel agent when I expressed concerns about there being no available rooms for POR the week of 6 to 13 NOV and whether there could be some released when/if new discount dates were announced:
"They will not be making additional rooms available so if there are no rooms at full price, it's almost certain there won't be discounted rooms."
