points for your question. Likely, you've made the trip, but perhaps I can help someone else.
DO NOT come in MAY or SEPT. unless you like LOTS of Rain. We are in a rain forest here- the country's largest National forest- the Tongass. The shops won't all be open either. Tour season is starting up in May, Ending in Sept- so everything is not in full swing then.
On the other hand, YES, you'll save $ on the whole --booking the trip, WAY less crowded, more deals all the way around to be had- especially in Sept. The tour shops getting rid of inventory- [but less to pick from]. May, everyone is fresh- not burned out on tour season yet, but the outsiders they hire are not experienced enough to really 'know their stuff' either. Best weather is June, July, and Aug, best deals is May & Sept.
LAST piece of advice: booking the big companies late gives you better deals, less choices.
