October 2009 (Im pretty sure the last week) for our Honeymoon!

We're getting married Sept. 4, 2009 (in CT)...but he proposed on Halloween in Disney, so I think we'll stick to going then for the honeymoon.

Definitely just budgeted the trip for Jan 09!! Woohoo!

CAN NOT WAIT!!! I just got back Feb 1st and it feels like it was a year ago. I hope time flies as fast for my next trip to come but I know it won't

I hope I see some other DISers there!

One more thing-early i know, but-would any Jan 09-ers be interested in sharing an illuminations tour/cruise?

(I apologize if this has already been asked) How are all you giving your vacation dates and resorts when the WDW website isn't taking reservations for 2009 yet? Are you just saying where you are planning to make reservations or am I missing something? Thanks!

You can make reservation 500 days out from the last day of yur planed vacation. I just contacted my TA yesterday and I will be booked for my September 09 trip next week-end. At first I thought it was 500 fromt the day you would arrive but its based on your last(check out) day. I hope that explains it for you.

Are you booking at 2008 prices or will the prices change as next years prices come out? My Magicforless TA said when she gets the 09 prices she'll let me know what they are for my Jan trip. If i can book my Jan trip now for 08 prices, let me know how!

 

[MyPeanut&Bug]

Whoo-hoo!! Count us in! May 09- looking at leaving either the 2nd or the 4th and being there for 10 days.

 

[KTME]

We are there! Our friends are joing us too! So there will be us and 2 other families! I think we have enough for a Grand Gathering! That would be super great because one of the families that are going with us are coming in from Sydney, Australia! We can't wait!

We just booked our May 2-10, 2009 vacation last week. We are not going through a travel agent - we just called Disney and were told that we could go ahead and book "room only" right now (since the 2009 rates aren't out at this time) - we put $133 deposit down per room (staying in 3 rooms at Pop Century) - the packages with the 2009 rates come out in July/August, we were told to call back to "upgrade" to the package at that time, then it will be a $200 per room deposit and our first deposit will be refunded.

So to answer your question, you don't get the 2008 rates if you book now - they just wait and you "upgrade" when the new rates come out. That is okay with us though, I just feel better knowing that we at least have our room reserved at this point.

Hope this info helps. It will be our very first time going to Disney - my sister & her family are going with us - we can't wait!!!!

We did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Our AAA travel agent said that 2009 prices come out in June but the packages aren't available until August.

I wish I could just get to the real planning already. Is is January yet?

 

[DisneyLaura]

How many days out can you book just your room? We're going in Nov 2009, is it 500 days?
