For great information on Disneyworld vacations be sure to check out http://www.disneynation.com/lobbyclub.html.
These are message boards and you'll get discount information and other goodies. Also, if you don't mind staying "off property" you can bid on 4 star hotels at Priceline. The 3 hotels in Zone 1 are the Swan, the Dolphin and the Wyndham Palace -- all really great.
If you want to try Priceline or Expedia be sure to check out http://pub4.ezboard.com/bpricelineandexpediabidding first. This is a message board (includes discount codes) that will let you know what winning bids have been lately. I got the Wyndham Palace for $39 a day (normal price is $150).
Have fun, and say hello to Mickey for me.
