When to book for Christmas?

[coorsie]

Hi everybody! I haven't looked around too too much yet, but maybe you'll be able to link me to another forum or help me out. I'm looking to maybe book a room/park ticket package for one person for about a week around Christmastime. When's the best time to book a hotel/park ticket package for that time of the year? Does Disney usually put up specials for this time of year (doubting I'll get a discounted room rate, but maybe a dining plan)?

I have some time to go about booking this, but I'm just looking to get some information about potential deals that could save me some money..

Thanks

I am not sure if there is a better time to plan. Howeverwe already booked our Christmas trip prob about 6 months ago. In fact we just make our dining reservations a couple of days ago.

If you're talking about Christmas week specifically - like around Dec 20 - January 1 - there will be no discounts unless you had a specific PIN code (sent to you specifically by Disney). It's the busiest and most expensive time of the year to visit.

If you go slightly before Christmas, it will be cheaper and much less crowded.

The week between Christmas and New Years is probably close to booked up already at most resorts.

We booked our rooms back in January (DVC, so 11 month mark), then I made some changes last week (7 month mark), so if you're booking a room I would do it soon. If a deal comes out, you could always make changes to your reservation.
