Rate change after reservations made

[lallylass]

Please forgive me if this is a question that has been discussed before. The boards are HUGE and I haven't found an answer in the search.

We are staying at POFQ the week after Christmas (I know...it will be crowded. But teachers have to go on vacation when school is out!) This is our 3rd Disney trip, but the first time at a Disney resort. Our last trip was in June 2003.

Our dates are from Dec 28th checking out Jan 3rd. My reservations say that the rates are subject to change until paid in full. The date for final payment is in November. If I wait that long, and the 2009 rates come out in August, wouldn't my rates for Jan 1 and 2 go up? I am thinking that I should pay off the rest of the trip before the end of July to avoid the rate increase.

Any experienced visitors have an opinion? Thanks in advance. (And also for all the other questions I will have between now and December!)

Welcome to the DIS. Usually Disney has prices for the first week of the next year confirmed. It would be a problem if you were staying later into Jan.

would not help if you did pay in advance. disney would still ask for any extra payment. never heard of them raising the rate when you are ahead book but you never know what could happen. good luck
