I'm wondering

...if when we go in November at 35% off the room rate, we'll get a bounceback. And, if we do get that, and if the 4/3 is extended through April and May, what the better deal would be. It's difficult for us to be away for an entire week although it's doable, we did it last May for the 4/3. Sheesh. I've got a fever...and the only prescription is MORE DISNEY! I gotta stop thinking about this.

What is the bounceback deal? 35% off??
The 4/3 deal is a savings of about 43% and the 5/2 a savings of 29% according the mousesavers. HTH

Bounceback right now is free dining unless its changed in the past few days. Which opens up the is free dining a good deal debate. Just depends on your family if the 4/3 or free dining is better deal. General rule is free dining is better deal at value, gets to be less better the higher the room rate is. Also depends on how many 'adults' you have in your travel party. free dining (bounceback) will also be fall/early winter.

4/3 deal is at mods/deluxes only, values are getting 5/2 deal. So better savings at mods/deluxes still. Also 4/3 (and 5/2) are winter/early spring deals.

And if you have park tickets already this further confuses the equation. More than likely if you plan on going in November and back again in the spring you need to upgrade to an AP and hope for an AP rate. That would be the best deal. IMO.

Now put down your calculator, step away from the computer and don't think about it before you book all the options!

Yes, we're going in November with 35% off. I've calmed down now since word of the new 4/3 came out the other day, we'll either go next April or next November, with or without a discount.

Good advice, thanks. I've calmed down enough now to not book immediately. Next April or next November, with or without 4/3, free dining, or room discount. But an extension of the current 4/3 sure would be appreciated.
