We're visiting in February and staying at POR and were curious if and when any discounted deals were coming out. Has anyone heard anything coming down the rumor pipeline?

    When we walked out onto World Showcase someone in our party commented how empty the promenade looked. It was a great day for doing things. Of course Food and Wine starts soon and that tends to bring out the local crowds on weekends.

Delta even dropped the price of their flights from $905 to an "affordable" $750. While I want the economy to improve, I'm certainly not going to complain if we can get a good deal on our trip in a few months.

    I really think they are going to hold back for early on in the year. Especially since Florida will be hosting the Super Bowl, and the Pro Bowl that year.
