how soon is too soon to book trip at Poly??

[suzquig]

Well...my family and I ( husband and 3 girls ages 3-8) are in the "pre-planning" stages of our 3rd family trip to WDW. We are planning on stayiing at the Poly again MK view...and will be going next Thanksgiving 2007. I know the MYW packages are now available....My question is- am I safe to wait longer to book in the event promos are run.....or should I just put the deposit down now to be safe? We have always gone in October and have booked the trip about 6-9 months out....but am nervous that this time of year is more popular. Also, if promos are run later that I would be eligable for...can we get them even if we have already booked....and does anyone know if promos have ever happened in the recent past during this time?

Sorry for all the questions....but, thanks in advance for all who help!!!

Book NOW... you can always change (to promos) later.

it's never too early to book at POLY
Seriously, though, if you know you are definately going then, book as soon as you are ready too. If you book now and some kind of discount comes out, it shouldn't be a problem. Every trip we have booked so far has always been anywhere from 6 - 12 months in advance and some kind of deal always came out that was better than what we had booked. We always just call and have the discount applied. I prefer to book as early as possible because it helps with making the payments - I call once a month and pay part of it off instead of having a huge bill at the end...somehow a little each month versus one big payment helps me rationalize
As for discounts coming out for Thanksgiving, I have gotten discounts in November before but have always been there prior to Thanksgiving. I'm not sure what the historical discount availablity has been for later in month.
