Wow. They're going back to the previous schedule. Interesting move.....Good improvement move for marketing. The past few years
they weren't making an announcement until a couple months before the season started, or in one year's case, just a couple weeks before.
I was trying to decide what to do the week before, or the week after, the first week in November vacation I booked at Royal Pacific. I was
thinking of WDW for a week before or after. I got a great rate 6 months ago for RP before they jacked the rates up.

Universal made my decision easy. I'll do the second week in November at Universal and tack on another three days so I can catch
Macy's & Grinchmas at Universal. Universal gains. I'll bet other tourists will start booking now also. I could never understand why
Universal waited until the last minute to post in the past. Bottom line, congrats to whoever made the push for early notification dates.
That's just good business philosophy.
