We may have to wait a while for summer discounts. Last year they were released as follows (according to MouseSavers.com):

• room-only discount for Florida residents who are also Disney's Visa cardholders announced 2/22/04
• package discounts for Disney Visa cardholders announced 2/21/04
• package discounts for general public announced 2/22/04
• general public room-only code announced 3/9/04
• AP room-only rates 3/9/04 announced 3/9/04
• Florida resident room-only announced 3/9/04

If there will be any codes this year, I would expect them to follow last year's pattern.

What happens if you go ahead and buy the MYW package and then a deal comes out that is better? Are you stuck or can you change? I'm planning a trip for June and can wait a while before I make my ressies, but I'm so excited, I want to hurry up and get it done. Just seems more official once the reservations are made.

You can go ahead and book your package and then apply the code to it when (if) one comes out. The number of discounted rooms available in each resort is limited, so you might have to be a little flexible with your resorts if your first choice is not available.

If it's a room-only code, I think you would have to cancel you existing package and book everything separately. Please note the "I think!"

If you have booked a package and another discounted package becomes available at a better price, you probably can cancel your existing reservation and apply the funds to a new one. That's if you are within the cancellation at no charge period. We changed our plans so many times on the FTP in 2003 that I was sure the CMs were going to cringe if I ever called again! They didn't!
