We'll wait. Just called... nothing for us in June. : (
I usually book a few days before 180 days out, so I can make my ADR's. Before the 180 day thing, I used to book my room after I booked my airfare.
You don't have to have a room reservation to book your ADR's.
No? I thought you did for the +10 thing?
Yes, you do need a reservation in order to have the ability to book the +10, otherwise you would have to make reservation for each day, at each 180 mark, if that makes sense.
I made one each day and always got what I wanted. It's not that big of a deal really.
Everyone should always wait, and here's why. Disney bases their discounts on the need to fill empty rooms. If rooms are booked up, then they have less chance of offering a discount.
Occupancy at the end of last August was really good, and you notice the free dining, for the first time, didn't include August dates. Also, back in October when the room discounts came down, at the last minute two resorts (Riverside and All Star Movies) were suddenly excluded from the offer due to good occupancy.
There is zero to gain and everything to lose by booking a room with the sole expectation of a discount to come. You still have to call on the day the discount is offered, and if there isn't availability left at your resort/room type, you won't get it even if you have a room booked. Many many people end up having to change resorts when this happens. So, you have the same chance of calling the day of the offer as you do booking ahead....but if everyone books ahead, there will be no offer.
I advise everyone to only book if you either have an existing offer, or if you plan to go even if there is no discount.
