I would not dream of booking on line. I did that once, and will never again. I do like to check pricing just to get a pulse of what the room rates would be as in the WORST case scenario.

I am trying to book for January 2003, however I cannot select any dates in '03 yet. I know I am nit picking/venting, but it seems silly that I can get rates on Expedia however not on their own site. Right?

/vent off

thanks :)

Erica try this to help you figure out the rack rates of resorts. 2003 rates are there.

Erica,

I completely understand your frustration!!! I never booked on line because I just dont like doing the credit card thing on the internet. I used to call directly and make my reservations and that was just as frustrating. We go every Jan/Feb and if you call prior to Nov, they never had to rates for that next year. I would always ask them why, especially because if you want to get a reservation, you have to book months in advance. And then they never knew what resorts would be giving a discount with the Disney Club.

Its much easier now, we joind the Vacation Club and have no problems making reservations!!!!!! Just a thought!!!!!!

Have fun anyway. We will be at the Beach Club Villas from 1/24/03 until 2/2/03. Cant wait!!!!!!!

She wants rates for 2003, not 2002. I can understand her frustration and that's why I ran my numbers through Dreams Unlimited Travel. I have an idea now of what my room will cost at least and when I do my next quote, I can book it.

Just book now and get a discount rate when they are finally released. Which probably won't be until late this year. (Nov/Dec)
I have used WDTC and CRO in the past. (With no trouble at all with WDTC.) This time we are using DU for room only.
I have a quote for ASMo for $86.24 a night with tax. I know the discount rates will not be out until months from now.
