How far in advance to buy disney world tickets?

Is it cheaper to plan a vacation to Disney World 1 year in advance (like a 5 day stay, their hotel resorts and all) ? Or does it really matter? Are prices (prices of like the rooms) different from buying 1 year in advance as oppose to like 3 months advance or 6 months? Does Disney World offer vacationing deals? If so, is it just better to wait around for a special deal??? Basically, i'm looking for cheapest route here.How far in advance to buy disney world tickets?
August is when Disney releases their room and package prices. So, in August 2010, the 2011 package prices came out. The "rack rate" prices are set. There is no discount for booking early. Disney does offer various discounts throughout the year. They currently have free dining plan, gift card, and % off room rate available. If you find a discount for your intended travel dates, you should book it. If a better discount is released, you can call and see if it can be applied to your package, or cancel your package and re-book. The only place where timing makes a difference is with park tickets. The ticket prices are assigned in August of the current year. New ticket prices are effective immediately. So, if you book a package (or just buy tickets) in July, you will pay less than if you do it in September.



Any discounts Disney has offered in the past are not guaranteed for the future. That said, here is a website for Disney's historical discounts:

Elizabeth G. explained it fairly well, but I have one thing to add. It's not that you don't get a discount on tickets if you book early - it's if you book early you are booking the hotel *only.* The ticket prices for 2011 were released in August. If you booked a trip for 2011 in July - you booked only the hotel. I made a reservation for January 2011 last March. But, when the ticket rates were announced I had to call and add tickets to my reservation. The exception to this is the last few months of the year. You can make a reservation for December 2011 now, because the prices were released back in August. However, there is no discount for early reservations. As an aside, if you make a reservation for a certain time frame, and later find out Disney has released a special for that time frame (such as free dining plan), just call them up and tell them you want the special and they will modify your reservations accordingly - but you have to ask, they won't just do it.How far in advance to buy disney world tickets?
The exact prices can vary from day to day, and there are no constant discounts on buying things early. If you want someone to look around for you, talk to a travel agent; they'll know what to look for.



However, when it comes to rooms and other events, you WILL want to reserve them early. Rooms and dinner reservations fill up fast, so you want to book your rooms at least 6 months early, and restaurant reservations 3 months early. You wont get a discount, but you'll be assured of getting rooms on time.
Depends. Sometimes if they have special offers out is it better to plan and book now. Or you can wait and hope they get a better offer than they have now. If you want to send me information I can check and see what codes are out that you may qualify for now. Are you military? AAA? plan on buying an annual pass? How many people are going and ages? What dates are you looking for? Currently they are offering free dinning or gift cards for certain stays on certain dates. I love planning Disney vacations and would be happy to help.How far in advance to buy disney world tickets?
There are no discounts for booking early (unless it is part of a current special offer). The room rates go by the time of year (peak seasons like summer/spring break/holidays are higher, value seasons are lower). However, Disney always has some special offers to choose from. Here are their current special offers:
