Book now or wait?

We are sure of our travel dates in November of 2016. Doubt that we will get a discount, because we think we want to stay at POFQ, and discounts aren't often offered there. We would need a package with two rooms. Is there any benefit to booking now? I know that there is a lot of speculation regarding ticket tiering and changes. We won't be there at a peak time, coming right after Thanksgiving, but there will be weekend days included in our stay. I'm sure dining prices will go up as well. If prices go up and we have already booked, are we guaranteed the price quoted now? TIA

I may be wrong but I don't think you can book that far out. We did book ours for November of '16 (Thanksgiving week). One advantage of early booking is beating price increases. Given the rumers of tiered tickets we did ours a little sooner than we normally do.

If free dining for us does come along for our time we can always alter or cancel and rebook

We are sure of our travel dates in November of 2017. Doubt that we will get a discount, because we think we want to stay at POFQ, and discounts aren't often offered there.

You can't book a 2017 package now. You can't even book a room-only reservation for Nov 2017 right now (room-only reservations can be booked 500 days in advance). Even if you were to book at the 500-day mark, the price would not be guaranteed.

I see no advantage to booking now. People who book 500-days out are usually booking for a very busy time at a popular location. Or they are booking one of the unique suites.
