If it was just us, we'd probably aim for a moderate. We also wouldn't go for free dining over a room discount- we tire easily of Disney food. I see the last time you were at WDW was POFQ Dec. '11- us, too! Good luck planning.

Geez, guess I better update my signature. We just had a trip at WL Nov into Dec 2012. (What a wonderful resort. The location alone is spoiling; don't know how we'll ever go back to a mod with only bus transportation, hence my Dolphin thinking.) I've been on my phone and iPad using the Dis app so I don't see signatures anymore! Thanks!

Well, we're going the other way. When I went as a child we always stayed on the monorail, last time we went we stayed in moderate and this time it looks like it will be off site! Would love to do deluxe and had more flexible travel dates to find a deal! Maybe one day when it's just the four of us.

And we are going from a vacationing family of 5 down to a family of 4 as one has gone off to college...how very much more "affordable" at Disney!

We're going from 6 down to 5 due to college, so we're moving back onsite, assuming there's a good discount to be had, like S/P/D. We want to stay at Beach Club. We're fortunate that NH has a different Feb. break than everyone else--it's supposed to be so locals can enjoy the ski slopes when the tourists leave. But, there are good deals to be had at WDW, and cheaper flights out of Hartford

Of course, I still have those tuition bills, so it's not all good news.

Oh man. These prices are going to be the death of me. If there's no discount, we'll still go, but I won't be staying those extra few days! I'm used to low season prices!

I'm watching, too! Not sure of dates yet, so here's to hoping!!

Hoping for some kind of discount for around Presidents week. In 2012, we checked in on the last day of free dining and had free dining for an 11 night stay that included Presidents Week. (I got the free dining pin that came out for this fall already, but need February!!!)

We are hoping to go Jan 30-Feb 9 - hoping the weather will be warm enough to swim a few days......we have been the last 2 weeks of Feb and it was wonderful weather for touring the parks but it was a bit chilly to swim. Hoping for at least a 30% room rate discount for deluxe - we are hoping to stay at Animal Kingdom but Beach Club looks great too!

We were there the first week of Feb this year and it was definitely warm enough to swim. But the weather is definitely screwy here in FL and you really don't know if its going to be in the 50's or 80's in Feb until that week.

I would love to get FD or some sort of discount! Hoping for some pixie dust. We are going for the first time in Feb. we will be there Feb. 13-17 possibly moving our arrival up to the 12th.

My son's HS band will be marching in a parade. Right now I don't even know the day nor the park

Fingers crossed for good weather! I've had swimming weather in Dec and Jan, so hopefully Feb will work out!

When is it normal to see codes come out? 6 months in advance or longer?

Thanks
