I'm still playing with dates and details, but would like to get our next trip nailed down soon. The budget trip idea is pretty much off the table, as I've found no real price difference between all the discounts/promos/off-season date rates and the regular rates available for booking well in advance of the trip, so at this point, I figure it's worth the extra money to stay on site and do it up right. I like the Mouse Ears offer of free concierge-like service. Anyone here use them?

I was kind of thinking those were great dates to choose, after Labor Day when all the kids are back in school.... Is 8 months out really so late to book, or could it just be that Mouse Ears is out of their alottment of rooms for those dates? I'm shocked to find the resort hotel booked solid this far in advance. Something happening in September that I'm not aware of??
