[quote=Anonymous]When people talk about planing so far in advance, it's often because they want specific reservations, which can book 180 days in advance.   We went to Disney last month, and it was a very last minute thing.   We decided to go 2 weeks before our vacation.  I was able to book the resort I wanted at the discount I wanted (we qualify for the current military promotion, and I wanted to stay at Coronado Springs resort) but did have to make some concessions--I originally booked 4 nights in their "business class" (like concierge level) but then we decided we wanted to stay one more night and when I called to add the extra night, there was not availability--so we ended up just getting a regular room instead of the business class.  Not too big a deal for us--but just something that if we had planned further in advance, we might have been able to get "exactly" what we wanted.

Also for the dining reservations--like I said you are able to book up to 180 days in advance, and some DO sell out that quickly!   So if you have your heart set on a particular restaurant (like the character meal with Cinderella in the castle, or "Be Our Guest") at a specific time, you want to book far in advance.   In our case, we were able to get all the restaurants we wanted, and at the times we wanted--but we were not trying to book the most popular ones.

As for where to stay--I think it depends on who is going---little kids?  Older kids?  Grandparents?    For my older children, we really like the Beach Club, Yacht Club, and Boardwalk Inn.    They are all within walking distance of Epcot and Hollywood Studios.    For smaller children, I'd prefer the Contemporary because it's within walking distance of Magic Kingdom.   People always hype up staying at a monorail resort--but I don't know if I just have terrible luck or what--but it ALWAYS seems to break down when I am on it.   Also, I think I heard that right now they are doing work on it and the monorail isn't even running--or maybe just limited service?   Anyway, because of that I would not pay premium prices for a monorail resort.   But being able to walk, is worth paying a premium price for me.[/quote]
