Hotels are same as flights, they can go up or down, if they are struggling to sell they will drop. For offsite hotels I tend to find good prices about 6-3 months out from travelling. I would like to try a moderate Onsite sometime but they don't release AP discounts early enough for me, I have always found a really good deal offsite by the time the offers for onsite come out.

If the OP is looking at an on-site hotel then it is not necessarily the case that the prices will drop or rise. Disney set standard rack rates - so even if you leave booking right to the last minute, you know you can secure a room for the rack rate should there be availability. Obviously there are seasonal/time-sensitive special offers and discount codes, but if you are looking to book on the WDW website or through CRO and don't have a discount code or AAA discount, then booking early doesn't really yield any benefit in terms of price. In terms of securing availability, it is best to book early. In addition, with the current exchange rate, I would book through CRO. You should get a good price in £GBP and you will also benefit from the generous cancellation policies should your dates change, and you won't have to pay the balance until you arrive.

Also look for codes ect (discounted rates)on the codes part of this board rates come out about 6 months before aplying them.Also try using your AA card for the AAA discount up to 20 % of rack rakes at times
