Is Mid-Nov too late to plan for 2/2003?

[hAm53]

So my girlfriend was supposed to hear by mid-october if she would be presenting at a physical therapy conference in tampa in mid-feb. Now she gets a call today from someone at our old college saying that they won't hear until mid-november.
We were planning on going to WDW for a week while we were down there.
I filled out a quote request last night for Dreams Unlimited, and was all set to click the submit button, but something made me not hit the "submit" button. Now i know why.
I personally think that if we wait until mid-novemeber to hear if she will be presenting at this p.t. conference, it'll be too rushed.
the other option i was thinking of, was going ahead as if she wasn't presenting, and book the trip (feb 6th-13th), without airfare, and worse comes to worse see if we can move the dates around.
Am I just being paranoid, about not having enough time from 4 weeks from now?
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.

I don't think mid-NOV is too late for a Feb trip...have done it quite a few times myself.

I think it depends on your own comfort level and the familiarity you have with your destination etc. I've planned Disney 21 days out but that may be cutting it too close for some.

I hope it works out for you, and if you haven't already, also post this at the Resorts forum.

I agree, I don't think it is cutting it too close, but if you really do feel better, you can always book and try to move your dates around. I've almost planned trips on 2 weeks notice (but held back due to finances) so I'd think 3 months should be enough for you to be okay

I don't think it is too late to plan at all. I have planned a WDW trip in under 20 days and we had a great time. We stayed at the resort we wanted - even with a discount - and were able to get all the PS's we wanted, etc.

It was a great trip. Sometimes I think the less planning I do the better.

No, not at all, in fact, that is when I plan MY Feb. trip!
