I enjoy planning my own trips. This is just from my recollection but I usually go the same week that you have planned. In the past, Disney used to give out Discount codes for that week around the September time frame. However, last year it all changed and they didn't come out with codes. In fact I changed my dates to go the last week offered through the FTP which was the cheapest vacation I have had yet. Also check with the mousesavers.com site as she will list the codes as soon as they are available. You may want to think about joining AAA as discounts are available through them til the end of the year. A girl I work with has a 5 night vacation planned up until 2 days before X-mas and used her AAA discount and was quoted about $68 a night for Pop Century. That isn't a bad deal especially right before a holiday.
