Need some advice on Ticket purchases

[intertile]

So, I have a trip planned for Thanksgiving weekend. The only thing I haven't taken care of is the park tickets. I purchased the Christmas party admission only, as that is not included on any normal admission passes. I don't need to purchase park tickets until September to make FP+ selections. I had planned to wait until at least the end of August with the hopes that this rumored $199 - 4 day pass may come back as a DVC perk. Lately, I'm beginning to reconsider. I've been reading through many forums and another rumor is beginning to become more common.
The rumor is, that a price increase is suppose to be coming in July. Further, I'm starting to read more and more often that the increase will be this supposed Tiered pricing. My question to those that frequent Disney more often than I do, or generally pay more attention than I do...Does Disney announce price increases ahead of time? or do you just wake up and the new pricing is in effect? If that is the case, do I risk waiting for a deal? or buy the best available right now?

Any info or insight is appreciated.
TIA

We tend to get about three days notice. If you're not paying attention, you might miss it.

Yup...announced on a Friday and goes into effect Sunday or Monday if you're lucky.

They just increased in March, I doubt there will be an increase in July. Just watch the theme parks board for a notice.
