I also live in NY and now we will be shut out of booking as everyone else can book now or soon. My guide still will not even return a call, he sent an email. I called a generic sales person who said it could be next week or 3 months from now, but could not talk to us now. This was short sited on Disney's part. Not very happy with them right now. I waited a very long time for this and don't like how we have been treated. They could have sent out a letter telling us they would hold the discount for us, at the very least.
