Does anyone know the accuracy of this site? Disney's site doe not currently show with hours for the parks yet, but I found this site.

http://media.disneywebcontent.com/S...pdf/ParkHours/WDW_Operating_Calendar_sept.pdf

Do these typically stay the same, or is it likely they will change at all?

It is 100% accurate. It's the travel agent calendar and usually gets released right before Disney puts it on the website.

You can add me to the list We arrive on Sept 21 - Oct 3. Staying at Coronado Springs. First time for us not staying at Pop so I'm concerned but I'm sure I will be fine.

And a facebook group would be wonderful as I'm on there alot

CS is wonderful! I'm sure you'll be happy there. It's my "go to" resort when I don't stay DVC.

I booked my flights and I can't help but think next year, we may actually drive. I feel like I got completely ripped off

I know what you mean...I keep checking flights and they are way out of our price range right now. Don't get me wrong, we do still have over 6 months before we leave so there is still time to book the flights. In years past, we have gotten the cheap flights when we booked well in advanced, I guess it is not going to happen this time around . Just yesterday DH and I were talking about our next trip after this one coming up and we decided that we are going to bite the bullet and drive. We are thinking of doing a 2 week vacation to Disney plus maybe take the girls to US/IOA, the beach, and possibly to SW all while staying on Disney property. It's been a long time since we took that 20+ hour drive, but the girls are older now and I think it could be fun .

Booked our flights today and our hotel! Only 192 very long days left until we're at CBR!!

I just remember last year, I booked early and just watched them go up. Since they already went up since yesterday I told DH and he just said to book them today. We are already planning on going in August of 2013 and talking about doing the drive and staying 10 days instead of 7. We also have family within an hour and a half drive of WDW that we'd go see if we drove down.

I have over 200 days too

As for the drive, since we've had kids, we've driven down. This past January was our last. Our 21 hour drive turned into over 33 hours due to an ice storm that had the highway closed-with bumper to bumper traffic-for over 8 hours! Then major fog in TN in the mountains, a rain storm in Atlanta and 2 more hour long backups due to accidents! With a five year old and a two year old, it was torture! And now, I win. Flying it is!

Same for us. I have been checking flights on a daily basis. In January I would have booked, but my thought was we could wait and wouldn't you know it the prices did go up! So I am hoping that around June,July they will be down again for September flights.
We booked our January trip about 6 months out and I think our seats were changed at least 3 times before we left due to a change of aircraft. The morning of our flight I wasn't paying attention and when we got checked in and up to our gate to wait, yup you guessed it, seats had been changed once again! I managed to get it changed back so my sister & I were sitting together with our niece on our connecting flight out of Minneapolis where we were meeting up with her & my brother & SIL.
The only thing was that in doing so I had to pay extra because our seats then became "Preferred" seats. All because of the change in aircraft.
It was frustrating at the time but I know I will be more attentive with seat assignments on check-in from now on.
