I got this from touring plan's website blog:
With Disney reporting advance hotel bookings down 9% earlier this week, its not surprising we hear a new round of discounts will hit the streets this Monday, August 16.
Word is that there will be three discounts. And before we get to those, lets remember that this is all speculation and innuendo, told by people of questionable moral character. Its entirely possible were completely wrong.
First discount is an extension of free dining, through September 2011. This comes with a considerable number of blackout dates, including Spring Break, Easter and most of Summer 2011.
Second discount is some kind of gift card offer, with a 5- or 6-night minimum stay. We hear sales of park merchandise are slow, and this is designed to address that. No idea how long this offer will last.
Third offer is a room-only discount, something like 20 or 25% off value resorts (and either AKL or WL not sure which), 30% off moderates (and one of the MK deluxe resorts), and 40% off the remaining deluxes. We hear there are fewer blackout dates on this one. Not sure of how long this offer will last, but its possible its good only through March 2011.
Good luck to those of you whove booked and may qualify.
Sending pixie dust to all!! I know I will be stalking the disney website and DIS boards

themed trip in early December but have been waiting to book with a significant room only discount. Would love to stay at another Deluxe resort but not willing to pay rack rates.
