Hi all,
I am planning a trip for 12-7-2013 to 12-14-2013. I haven't booked the hotel yet but I did purchase the plane tickets a few days ago and the wife and I both arranged for the time off from work.
I just realized last night that 12-7 to 12-14 is the Pop Warner week this year. I'm not really worried about crowds but I am starting to get concerned about the odds of discounts being available that week since I've seen posts indicating it's generally a blackout period for Pop Warner week. Does anyone know if it is usually a blackout period for just free dining when it's being offered or does it usually affect rack rate discounts also?
I know I shouldn't count on any discounts but I'm thinking I should do whatever I can to maximize my chance of getting one. I'm wondering if I should push are arrival date back a day or two to increase the odds of catching free dining if it ends up being offered that first week of December. I already checked into pushing the arrival date back a full week but airfare the prior weekend would be a lot more expensive.
