Hi Joni,
It's always a good time to start planning your next Walt Disney World vacation! When I am planning a trip for a year away, I try to book at the best rate I can currently find. After I book, I keep an eye on the
Special Offers page of the Walt Disney World website. I also check one of my favorite budgeting websites, Mousesavers.com. Mousesavers keeps track of the best deals for Walt Disney World and you can even check to see when certain promotions, including free dining, have been released in the past.
If you find a special offer has been released for your travel dates, call immediately to see if you can have the offer applied to your reservation. The number of rooms available under most special offers is limited.
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Please let me know if I can assist you with any other questions!
Wishing you happy planning and a magical vacation,
Amy H
