2013 prices

[mackiemom3]

When does DL 2013 packages for purchase become available? I thought you could book out a year, but that is obviously not the case.

I tried looking at package prices for January 2013 and it wouldn't do it.
It said the dates had to be before 12-31-2012.
Somewhere I thought I'd seen you could book over 400 days out.

Does any one have a hint as to how much the prices increase each year?

Thanks

Edit info....
I called WDTC and asked when 2013 can be booked. The CM felt it was 6 to 8 months before arrival that reservations can be made. Hope this helps. As far as inflation %, the CM had no idea .

For some reason reason 4 to 6 months sticks out. I think this is because ticket prices increased last June and August the year before. This made the ticket pricing into the next year known so the packages could be made available.

As far as price increase, 10% to 20%. 10 at the low because of growth revenue the company tries for. 20 at the high end because of decreased discounting.

When you compare it's really easy to be comparing apples to oranges. You have to compare this years verse last years rates equally, and it's difficult. Things like Spring Break vary each year because of how Easter Falls. This moves Spring Break around and effect the demand for a particular day. Christmas week likewise can change too because Chrismas and New Years can fall on weekends or midweek. Even the weather can effect things, some people see rain and cancel to shift a week back.

We have been there during a slight shower. My grandkids wondered where everyone went......
Being from the Great Pacific Northwest, we know rain. We know how to enjoy the outdoors in wet weather.
In So.Cal. a slight shower is nothing to us. As long as the ride are going we're there.
