Before you make your ressie with MS, call CRO at the 407-WDisney number to check for specials, especially if you have an AP. They often have specials for those expensive Friday-Saturday nights. I have gotten a room several times for a cheaper rate than MS was willing to give it to me. Last Christmas, I got a studio for $179 when MS said they were full AND charging the premium amount of points for each room. sometimes it works like that, it just depends. Disney will soon bring out their fall prices that usually go thru Dec. 24--if you check in on the 24th and stay into the premium season, they will give you the room for the cheap price for your whole stay, if they have availability.
