Welcome! I am going to try to answer your question, I hope I am correctly understanding what you are asking - I didn't get much sleep last night! If you are wanting to know how far in advance to book in order to make sure you can get reservations... I don't know that there is a set time. August might be kind of busy, but not like Christmas or Easter. You shouldn't have a problem getting a reservation since you are planning well in advance. I'm not sure you could even book this far in advance. You could call Disney and find out if they are taking reservations yet for Aug 2008. You wouldn't lose anything by booking early, you can still get your deposit refunded if you cancel by a certain date. Once the rates for the year are posted they don't go up, so it isn't like booking a cruise, where booking early gets you a better price. One other thing I want to mention is that I don't think Disney will let you book a room for the kids. I think, but could be wrong, that someone over 21 has to be staying in each room. Have fun with the planning - and when it comes time - have a great trip!
