Early Booking or wait for costco/expedia?

[KLR-wlv]

Just wondering what other's have experienced in terms of pricing. I know costco prices are typically a few hunderd dollars less than disney's direct pricing for a cruise. I am thinking about the thanksgiving 2006 7 night and expedia and costco don't have those later dates available yet. It's around $6000 for a cat 8 thru disney and DUL with an EBD - would that go up or down if I waited for what expedia or costco might have?

Thanks

I think they go up with Disney as the date becomes closer. The earlier the booking the better the savings. I think this is also a popular cruise, so it would sell out faster.

You can book directly with DCL now for the early booking rate, then switch the ressie over to whichever TA you choose.

That's exactly what I'd do!
BTW, did Costco say when they expect to have those dates? I booked my Sept 2006 cruise with them several months ago. I'm really surprised they don't have your dates available yet.

Thanks for the responses - I actually didn't try Costco yet since expedia didn't have the dates, I assumed (probably wrongly) that they wouldn't - I'll give them a call now!

Thanks
