I am beginning to plot our trip that will most likely be the first week of February 2015. When does the rate calendar open for then?
If I start signing in on the website and poking around does that increase the odds that I'll get a pin code? Do they still do those? Other ways to get discounts? When I did this before I got a decent discount on the room and booked it then free dining was offered and I easily changed the reservation.
We last went in November 2011. That was with four of us. This time we will be a family of five (kids will be 11, 7 1/2, and almost 5). This is totally changing the rooms I look at. We are go-go, there to see Disney people. We've stayed at Value resorts twice and been fine - All Start Sports and honestly one of the others, don't remember.
Complicating matters is that we may also be doing this with Brother, SIL and two kids (5 and 4) and maybe one set of grandparents. No idea on handling that mess.
Looking for any and all suggestions. I don't want to get sucked in too badly yet. I might scare off grandma or SIL, but want to make informed decisions.
