I hope the first person that gets knowledge of the 2008 rates reports back to those of us waiting anxiously!

I have read on another thread that when rates are released they will be put out at midnight when they do the nightly maintenance on the website.
I live in Oz so I am always on the board at different times to everyone in the USA and the UK, I will post straight away if I see anything, BUT should I book then post so I get in first!!

$416 sound right. That's peak season and a woods view room with bunkbeds at WL for 2007 is $370 per night. With tax it's $416.25.

NHWX, two connecting rooms at a value would be $238 before tax.

Can one of your boys fit in the trundle bed at Port Orleans Riverside? That's only $185 plus tax in Peak Season 2007.

The $185 at POR Riverside during peak season, actually came to $204 (damn tax). I'm betting it goes up to at least 6%, supply/demand, they know they can get the rooms full, so they will for sure, up the price.

Last year it was August 4. I played this same waiting game last year. And, I had a basic package at POR, so when the package came out, I just called and they added the Dining Plan and I needed tickets, so I got the 6 day expiration tickets. No park hoppers or water park.
I did get a voucher for the speedboats-buy 60 minute get an extra 30.
1 round of putt putt for one person
$15 voucher for Planet Hollywood-I have all 3 yet too, never used them, good till Oct.

My concern is how much will there be in weekedays vs weekned rates. ONe of the things I haved about onsite stays is the same rates no matter what day just season. Also there will no longer be the effective date of check in rate to be the same for the remainder of the stay.

So I will hope for some good benefit to off set some of the not so good changes! Heres hoping!

I wouldn't be too concerned about weekend versus weekday unless you are only going on the weekend. My theory is that disney will actually reduce the weekday rate by the amount they increase the weekend rate.

For example:

Last years weekly rate of $1500 would equal 2008s weekly rate of $1600 (yearly increase).

At $1500, each day would cost $214.29

With the new plan (my theory only) the days may be divided as such:
sunday thru thursday Rates would be $200
Friday & Saturday rates would be $300

I just got off the phone with Central Reservations. The CM said that the trundle bed at Riverside only fits children up to age 9. Since my younger son will be 12 this winter, I went with the two connecting rooms at Pop Century. I really did want to have a hot tub but saving (at 2007 rates) $132/night before adding taxes goes a long, long ways towards making this vacation possible.

For anyone else doing this - if you want to pay only the deposit on the lower priced ressie, you'll have to cancel the first reservation and make a new reservation for the lower priced room. Otherwise, they're happy to apply the higher deposit amount to your new reservation. And personally, I'd like to keep the money until February!

The hot tubs are over-rated, crowded and people don't shower before jumping right in.
