When to book?

[Disney102015]

We are thinking of taking a trip in the last 2 weeks of September or first week of October. We're flexible on exact dates and hotel although we'd love to stay in the Epcot area since F&W will be going on. When do discounts for those weeks usually come out? Given that its a busier time with F&W going on, is it a mistake to wait to book?
Thanks!

If you'll go either way, book now to make sure you can get what you want.

If you need the discount to go, wait.

If you will go regardless of whether or not a discount is offered, I'd book now to make sure you get what you want. However, if your trip/resort is dependent on a discount, it's best to wait and see what (if any) discounts are released for your dates. A discount can be applied to an existing reservation, but the resort/room type you have booked must be available under that discount as having a reservation already in place does not guarantee a discount can be applied later. I think discounts for that time frame come out around late spring/early summer. Here is a link from mousesavers on historical discounts and when they were released:
