I *JUST* booked my room for January 23-27th. All this hoopla about the values getting booked sort of freaked me out, so I got right on the phone.
The the very nice man told me that A LOT of places are getting booked up for January, and that he recommended people book their stays ASAP. In my case, as a FL resident, none of the deals are up right yet. He said that I could go ahead and make my deposit, and then call back when the rates come out to get them adjusted. Same with the AAA rates, which I'm also eligible for. I'll take whichever one is available.
So, I got my preferred room rate ($97/night) and went on my merry way. It came out to only $10 more than I budgeted - total and that includes taxes - but I know it will come down once I get those resident rates.
There were standard and preferred rooms available at the POP - so you've got some wiggle room if you want to wait. Not sure how much, though. He said getting a room for September or October at this point is "impossible."
Anyhow, for what it is worth.
