2008 Rates

[mickey2]

I WAS WONDERING IF THE 2008 RESORT RATES ARE OUT YET

Welcome to the DIS. The 2008 rates haven't been announced yet.

 

[timandlesley]

Does anyone know when they will be?

[safetymom]

No dates have been mentioned. I am sure as soon as they are released we will have them on the DIS.

Word is August, but it could be anytime now. Stay tuned!

Today I noticed on the WDW web site that you could only see the 2007 rates, yesterday the drop down menu had 2006 and 2007 rates, I hope that means they are getting ready to post the 2008 rates. Might be wishful thinking though....

It's one of those things. I'd like to make a firm plan and since next year we *have* to go during school vacation, I think I'd better hop to it. Part of me is holding back because I have Beach Club dreams and an All Star budget. I know when I call, I'll be just stunned by the cost of the deluxe hotels.

I think I'll just try to call tomorrow anyways.

I think it is awful that they wait so long to post the rates!!! I am trying to get a budget together for April 2008! Still waiting patiently...

It's even harder for those of us planning a Feb 2008 vacation. I'd like to get the price of the rooms squared away before Southwest opens their dates for flights.

 

[NHWX]

We're going in February too. I've become a compulsive Ding! checker. (If there is such a phrase.) Right now the specials seem to be good through 10/31/07.

I know Sothwest fares are booking through Jan 11 right now, it shouldn't be much longer before Feb and Mar are open. I'm a DINGer too

According to their website, Southwest will release fares through 3.7.08 on 8.23.08 ... It has been my experience that sometimes they actually update their website a day or two before this, so it is a good idea to check often! (We are going in February, so I am anxious to purchase our tickets as well!)

ok it may be because i'm a newbie but what is a Ding Ding checker?

 

[timandlesley]

I asked the same question a year or so ago too. If you go to Soutwest Airlines website click on "download ding" it will "ding" on your computer when they have great rates for cities you select, it can really get you good deals, like 49 dollars each way!

I can't get DING to work on my computer. It won't connect. Probably has something to do with the firewall settings on my antivirus.

 

[Artoo]

I downloaded DING yesterday
I just have a question for anyone out there that would be willing to answer: I know this was mentioned veofre in a thread (but I cannot find it). If I book a room-only ressie for 2008, I will just pay for one night when I book it, and pay the balance off either before/when I check-in to the resort?

 

[Southernson]

Room only is one night deposit and balance at check in and you can make changes up 5 day before you get there

 

[Artoo]

Cool, thanks!

 

[disneynewman]

I was just 'chatting' with a WDW rep who said the expect the 2008 rates out in the next 3 weeks or so.

So I have booked my Feb 2008 trip already. I have paid the one night deposit. Can I add the tickets and dining once I get there, or do I have to do it when the rates come out? I am just wondering. I am wanting to use my income tax to pay for my trip (tickets and DDP), so I have to wait to add them to my pkg. I am just trying to see what is the best option.

I am going to pay my room balance off in November, so when I get there can I just pay for our tickets and DDP??
