Sadly, about a day before this was released, I was talking with a
travel agent I've used in the past who specialized in Disney. She said last year only 12 days were discounted at the end of the year, and I think it was this same time frame. We have a 12/2 trip scheduled, so it is looking more and more like we will pay rack rate for the first time in years. Normally we've gone under some kind of free dining or Stay, Play, Dine package. Not sure why, but seems like it would make more sense to discount earlier in the month vs around Christmas week. Just seem counter intuitive.
