October 2012 bookings with WDW UK?

[chocolateMinnie]

Usually we book with Virgin about April for October of the following year - I always thought this was when the preview brochure first launched. Obviously I was wrong as the brochure is already out with Virgin, I assume the WDW UK brochure is launched about the same time as Virgin's full brochure. Anybody know for sure?

Disney is generally a bit later than VH and last year they were a good couple of weeks behind both VH and CO. Disney UK still seems to release their brochure for the following year in late April, unless they do something different this year. They also lagged behind on putting up the SSR and OKW specials which VH and CO advertised ahead of them.

When I spoke to WDW travel company a few weeks ago they told me April or May - but had no exact date. Virgin still have no exact date either, but i noticed the date in the 2011 brochure was 22nd April. So hopefully the 2012 brochure will be out Thurs 21st April if they are running on the same time?
I'm just waiting to book too!

I spoke to a Virgin Rep in one of there shop outlets and she told me April the 27th was the main brochure date. Not sure how true that is.

Hi all, I have just spoken to my local VH store and they have told me their full brochure will be out on April 19th. So thats two different dates depending upon who you talk to!! I have to say that my local store were spot on about the preview brochure so here's hoping!

When i phoned up Disney last month they told me that May 2012 onwards could be booked as of the 1st April, if all the offers will be out then i dont know, but im counting down the days very impatiently

great thanks. We have usually booked in April or May but didn't know the preview was out in February until this year. Dithering over the price increase for next year and keeping everything crossed for free dining.

That sounds more or less right, going by the last few years.

The preview may be out earlier but it usually doesn't include any of the good offers (like free dining for example) so I would be inclined to wait By all means, book as soon as you see what you like, but I would rather wait for the official brochure and offers to be released.

Thanks for your advice - we kind of figured that if we got free dining we could go deluxe again but without it will be returning to a moderate and now that CSR don't offer their buffet breakfast we don't really want the hassle of travelling to the good breakfasts so we have decided to do just what you suggest and hold back. We are tied to school holidays though so can't leave a decision too long.
