2015 Rates are out... Now when will discounts appear?

[Sharpdisney]

Hi all - I found this link on Mousesavers which shows the dates that sales and promotions were historically released... I know, I know, there is no direct translation to year 2015, but I'm only hoping!!!

We are going at the end of Feb.

It looks like some discounts for that time period could be released in October?

Also, as I scanned through the historical discounts (again I KNOW I cannot guarantee the same types of deals in 2015!!!), the only time that I saw on that list that didn't have some type of deal (room only discount, free dining, or package w/ MM and discount tickets) was 12/23 to around 1/5. Every other day had some type of deal.
I sure hope there is something going on when we go, after President's day and before spring break!!!
Also, I've read that changing to one of the deals after I have booked will not change my ADR. But what about FP? I'll need to book those by Dec. 26th so if they offer something after that I'll have to be careful to be sure my FP don't disappear with a changed package!!!

We are also going the last week in February. We went the same time last year and I booked the beginning of October when I got a pin for free dining!! Fingers crossed for the same luck this year

Thank you for the link. We are not going until October 2015, so I am debating when to book. Looks like I will have to wait until next summer for the room discounts to come out!

If I remember, the deals for the beginning of 2015 should be released around the start of November. Not positive.

There is almost always a %off or FD other than the 3 or 4 busiest weeks of the year. Some say to wait for the announcement since early booking make discounts less likely, others say book it and add the discount later. Not sure what is the best way, but we usually book and then add the discount.

How was the crowds in the parks that week last year?
