That August 29 date for DHS was a great surprise to us (as it was to most people, I think) and at the same time was a little comforting. We booked our 1 bedroom at BWV for end of January at the 11 month window knowing that WDW would likely be much busier than usual for that time of year. Now I’m hoping that many of the folks who were waiting for the announcement before they booked their trips will visit in the fall as opposed to piling in when we’re there!
