When to book....

[osugal]

I asked this on the Resorts thread then realized it probably should have gone here...

I realize you can't book last minute and expect to get exactly what you want. But, does Disney ever lower their rates as it gets closer in hopes of filling the rooms? I'm nervous about booking really early because I'm worried that they will have less incentive to give me a pin. And, we've gotten pins the last few years. I really want to go to the Poly and stay CL in October 2013. But, if we don't get a pin it's out of the question. We like to stay CL and not do the DDP so the free dining doesn't really appeal to me as much. Thoughts???

No harm in calling them. If I learned anything from reading this board the last few months it's this - Every CM seems to be different and just might give you a different price vs another one.

I don't know about how quickly the CL fills up but in my experience, I think you have plenty of time before you need to book. I have gone in October the past couple of years and have booked in in July and Aug...only a couple months before. I usually wait for a pin (which I am not getting lately) or wait for the fall AP or GP discount to come out. I hope you get a pin soon.
