The current promotions of 5 days for price of 3 park hoppers and the stay 5 days for the price of 4 ends Jan 2, 2004... I'm planning a Feb 16-21 trip - does anyone know when new packages/pricing should be out? I'm hoping I can get a great deal because it's off season.
Thanks!

Actually I think you might want to check those dates to see if they are a 'holiday' weekend.. if it's the presidents day 3 day weekend the rates won't be 'off season' as I found out when I booked a weekend in October that turned out to be Columbus Day weekend which isn't even as 'big' a holiday as the Presidents Day weekend. Other wise I'd just keep watching MouseSavers for her latest saving tips.

You can get deals almost any time of year. You should be able to buy the 5 for 3 disney passes from AAA/CAA travel branches. The promotion keeps getting extended so don't worry. Contact your AAA branch to make sure they have passes. The free nights promotion can be a little deceiving. Often you can get really good nightly rates by booking online and being a AAA/CAA member. If you plan on staying at a Disney Hotel, then the free night can work in your favour under the right conditions (i.e. pay for Mon-Thurs and get a Friday or Saturday night free which can be more expensive).

This is what I can get up here...

Yes, sometimes they do. Check before you buy.

BTW... I also found out that the 5 for 3 passes are sold at the Disney store.
