This is one of those weeks when Disney decided to surprise us. First, they announced on Friday afternoon that ticket prices would be going up on Sunday, June 12. Those of us who follow Disney closely were a little surprised given that they historically have done this in August. Then some of us got word that they might also release package prices for 2012. Again, something they usually do in August.
Well, that’s exactly what they did, as of 7:00 am this morning! You’ll pay a $200 deposit to secure your vacation package. Of course, discounts aren’t available yet for 2012, but you can always book now and add them later. Keep track yourself or get a travel agent–she or he should automatically apply discounts to existing reservations.
As a travel agent, I’m relieved; I’ve had so many people wanting to plan trips and now they can. As a planner myself, I know that most people plan Disney trips six months or more in advance, so this will help those traveling in January and February a great deal. I know that I’ve already been plugging in possible dates for 2012. Hey, planning is half the fun, right?
I can’t help but wonder, though, when those October – December 2011 discounts are coming out? We sort of expect them in August too, but maybe they’ll come out early? We’ll keep you posted.

If you can add discounts after you book, is there a cutoff when you can no longer add discounts before a trip?
