When are you traveling? Disney does release general public discounts throughout the year, and if you can let me know when you want to go, I would be happy to make some suggestions.

Re: discounts at the resorts

My trick to staying in Deluxes at cheap prices is renting Disney Vacation Club points from DVC members. I routinely save over $1000 this way.

We might be cutting it a bit close for December, but basically how it works is this: DVC members purchase a certain number of points that they then trade in for stays at WDW resorts and other hotels around the world. It's a timeshare program. Those of us who can't afford to buy into the program can "rent" points from members--in a private transaction that Disney has nothing to do with--at about $10-$11 per point (whatever the member asks for). The member will then book a resort stay for you in their name and you give them the amount necessary (# of points needed for the stay X $amount per point).

This board The DIS Discussion Forums - DVC-Rent/Trade is a sort of "classified ads" for DVC points. If you fish around here, you should be able to get some great explanations of how the system works.

Re: discounts at the resorts

AAA gives a 1-15 percent discount on the room portion of your trip. Also they sell some multiday passes for a small discount. The Chase Disney credit card also runs specials. Does anyone know if thay special code is still available for trips through 12/31? Might want to check out mousesavers.com for more.
