HI Kaye,
Welcome to planDisney!
Looking at your anticipated arrival date, I am happy to see that you have some time to plan! And I am thrilled to see you looking at the
Special Offers. As you suspect, special offers are updated throughout the year, so do keep an eye on the special offers page. While I cannot say for certain that a particular special will return, I can say that I have been able to take advantage of special offers throughout a year, so there have been offers applicable in the fall in the past.
Knowing that the room availability with any given special offer can be limited, I also typically reserve the room we want at the
Disney Resorts Collection hotel well in advance. Then, if a special offer becomes available, I try to see if I can modify that reservation to use the special offer. If you are flexible, you may be able to just wait until you can book a special offer. We have certain resorts and times of year that we prefer and those tend to be busier times, so I like to be sure we have a room.
Keep an eye on theme park ticket prices as well. And do some comparison pricing between purchasing a
vacation package or booking the resort hotel and
theme park tickets separately. Keep in mind also that when you book a vacation package, you can include a
Disney Dining Plan. My family enjoys the Disney Dining Plan, but we always take a look at the restaurants we want to experience and then calculate the estimated costs without the dining plan to compare that to the cost of the dining plan, remembering that without the dining plan, we would pay separately for many of our drinks.
Kaye, stay vigilant! I sense that the Force is strong with you and that you have many Resistance allies to help you secure budget-friendly and safe travel!
Good journey,
Donyell
