Planning July 2 to July 14, 2013. Will book when when airfare is released. Hoping for PIN or decent GP discount! Good luck everyone in getting great discounts!
Welcome Ihaslem, these boards are a great resource for all your planning. Planning is a lot of fun but can get overwhelming quickly. For a lot of the people on the boards we have done this many times and are willing to share info so please feel free to ask anything. We started planning for our July vacation in March or April of this year, lol. I keep everything in a binder and we have all the large stuff done except for ADR, only because we aren't 180 days out. There is a board on here that one of the dis member made an awesome spread sheet to do all your vacation planning on. It really has helped keep me organized. Anyhow, this board will be keeping an eye out for July discounts and posting as we hear about them. Unfortunately, I have received several Disney destination emails but nothing for July yet. Historically, they offer a room only discount but we will have to wait and see! good luck!

Question - I have room and ticket reservations already made for July 2013. If and when they come out with a room only discount, can I use it on the reservation I already have?
Called and spoke with one of the lead CM's at Disney today (I requested a "manager") to ask a few questions about the current Disney Visa Offer and PIN numbers to clear some things up (ie. can I book with my Disney Visa now and if a DV offer comes out for July later have it applied, etc.) I know regular offers can be applied but was not sure about DV offers.
Anyways, after a long conversation with someone who called herself "Destiny," I was told to expect an offer most likely late March/Early April "very similar" to the current DV offer to be applied to late July/early August. Not sure how accurate this is (probably not very) but was a bit uplifting.
As for PINS, I was told that they are not told/given any pin information for the next summer until they walk in to their office/desk closer to the summer.
Very nice person who took the time to answer all of my questions.
Not sure if this helps anyone.
