We're probably going to go thru AAA for the tickets and GCH ressies, and then HoJo's ressies directly thru them, but the thing is, I can't book the AAA stuff until June after our wedding... I'm just trying to guesstimate how much of a difference there would be in pricing between what I'm finding now and what it will go up to? OR when it might go down a little again? Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I LOVE that you guys always know sooooo much! The things I've learned here over the past couple years have made my last 2 trips SO much more fun!! Thanks in advance!!

The tickets at childs price special have to be used by the first part of may I think. As for the hotel usually in the fall they run a special at certain hotels where you stay three nights and get the fourth free. I think this includes disney hotels. The problem is they don't release the fall promo's untill the fall. So you can't get the deals untill then. I am sure there is someone who can give more specific info on this.

Then I check every couple of days. If it varies quite a bit, I make the call. I actually went to my travel agent this time, and she got me the same price expedia had quoted - but with the DL passes. So make sure you go into AAA with some knowledge of which hotels you want and what the prices are on say expedia and travelocity for example. Have fun!

The DL hotels have gotten more and more expensive and harder to get. However, 6 months out you shouldn't have any problem.
