How much longer for 2008 bookings?

Right now we have 19 people going to WDW in Feb 2008. 3 from CO and 16 from WI, possibly more.

How much longer until travel agents can book packages? The local one said hotel packages don't come out until late June early July. Is that really right? She sounded very overwhelmed when I spoke to her. When I stopped in for fliers they were all from 2006, which I also found odd. I realize not much changes but still.

Are we better off pricing and piecing it together ourselves? I was always under the impression that the travel agents made money off the packages they book from the locations, not the travelers. Any other perks of going through an agent besides less stress?

The local agent couldn't even tell me when the peak and off peak times for 2008. I have tried cruising the official site but can't find anything past 2008. We are looking at Feb 8th to the 15th. Most if not all should be off peak right?

Thanks,
Liza in WI

We are being told 'last year they came out in August, so expect it about then'.

Liza, we are planning a trip the week before you. It is very frustrating! I actually called Disney yesterday to see if the packages for 2008 were out yet.. NOT!

We thought we were going to stay at a deluxe resort, but not sure now. I wanted to price a value, moderate and deluxe reservation and compare prices. Can't do it!

I feel your pain!

you guys are too funny.


Michelle, let me know what you want added,


Josette, let me know if you want some preliminary #s and if you want to go ahead and do the room only now


einstien - if you want my help with this trip, I can take it over if you haven't made the final payment yet - I justgot back from the dr w/ an ear infection so forgive me for forgetting your real name and if you've got a TA


It's totally frustrating on the waiting part, especially since there's this sense of peace with getting that confirmation, lol

Sonya,
I tried emailing you through your profile but it wouldn't let me? We have almost paid off this trip (thanks to our tax refund) but would like your help on our next trip which may be a grand gathering of my entire family (15 people).
My email is jennyok@comcast.net and I would like more info from you if possible?

Thanks!
