Hi, I'm looking for opinions on when to take the plunge and do a big WDW vacation. Our family has been to DLR 3 years running (last trip in Sept 2012)
DH and I are in agreement on next up will be WDW and Universal Orlando, but we differ as to when we should go. DH is active duty military and I'm worried that if we wait (DH wants Jan or Feb 2014) that the great military discounts we've seen the past few years won't be available.
So I guess I am wondering if there are typically room only discounts or dining discounts close to as good as the current military ones? Also, how difficult is it to get the room discounts at WDW? Do you have to book very far in advance? At DL I've never had much of a problem getting the room I want with the military discount a month or two out, is it similar or is there more competition?
I know if they stop the military salute, ticket prices will be double, right? I also saw that universal is offering a free active duty 3 day pass as well that's good through June. I was thinking of going the first week of May 2013.
Thanks in advance!
