Typically, they're released either the end of July or the beginning of August (I THINK it's actually more August than July, but I'm hedging...although, with this text here, that pretty much negates my hedging...hm..)
I am anxiously waiting for the 2014 rates as well. I CAN'T WAIT to book my DD 5th birthday trip. Last I was there was in 2010 for DS 5th birthday trip.
I wish they would hurry up...this wait is KILLING me! I have a room only booked already for next May but I want to know how much extra I need with these price hikes
This thread may be the place to ask a few questions...
Based on your experiences and opinions, is there any danger or downside to making a room only reservation prior to being able to book a package? If you book room only and then convert to a package later, do you lose any "standing" with the room allocation Gods, or anyone else? If you change from a room only to a package, does that change constitute a "cancellation" and re-booking?
Here's the scenario... My lovely bride and I are finally going to be able to go back to WDW in April of 2014. Haven't been since 2007. We know what resort we want and that we want to pay for a preferred location. If we make that ressy now as a room only one, then convert to a package in July, will we go back into the melting pot as a scratch level "new" booking or do keep what had already been assigned to us? Do special requests made as part of a room only reservation stay in the record if you convert to a package later?
I know that seems like a lot of questions but I dont know enough of the Disney veteran tongue to be very precise or efficient. Please help.

I think July 11 was when I was able to book last year. If I remember correctly they released the rates a few days prior and bookings opened on 7/11.
I think because of the 180 day ADR mark they try to release the rates in July so that January vacationers don't have to book ADRs before they can even book a trip.
What's and ADR?

We already have a trip for this August. I'm hoping to get a good BB offer while there to book our next trip.
I hope everyone gets the rates soon. I know last year they were early July. Typically around the first week of August.
