I will be planning a trip for May06 and I am just starting to read these boards. I am trying to figure out the best strategy for getting a good deal. So far, it seems like most people here do the following. Please correct me if I am wrong and let me know if I am missing something important.
Book your date at a resort and a price you can live with. Buy one AP. Wait and see if an AP discount for your date will become available. If one does, call in as quickly as possible and change your reservation to an available AP discount room possibly upgrading to a preferred room/resort. Hopefully, the savings will be more than the extra cost of the 1 AP.
Is this correct? I am sure there are many more details but I want to be sure I understand the general strategy.
There also seems to be others that do not buy an AP and hope for general discounts to become available prior to their trip where they would follow the same process.
