Contemporary Resort Sold out?? - The DIS Discussion Forums

srqrobin · 11-18-2009, 03:50 PM

Are there any tips for getting a room at the Contemporary Resort? I am wanting to take my family to Disney for the Very Merry Christmas event and stay there December 11th till he 13th (2 nights). My 5 year old grandson saw how the monorrail goes to the park from the lobby and we'd love to give him this trip as his special Christmas present. But, when I called, they said they were totally sold out. But, that the travel websites historically buy up blocks and I could likely find a room by booking thru one of them. So far I've tried Orbitz and Travelocity and no luck there. Does anybody have any tips (call on certain days, use AAA or some travel agency, etc.). Any assistance would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, this late in the year, it might be sold out for that weekend. Just keep checking every day

I would keep trying by always looking on the WDW website and even calling CRO, however I would not be surprised that it's 100% sold out.

I'm a rookie to this... what is CRO??
Thanks for any tips. I plan on checking the website every day, and most likely several times a day.

Thanks.

CRO - just an abbreviation for Central Reservations - just means call Disney directly.

1 tip I learned is to check first thing in the AM. Anything cancelled the day before goes back into inventory in the AM. Good luck!

I agree I would call disney directly

or contact a dreams unlimited travel agent, they can be very helpful as well

Try AAA - they were able to find us a room at the Poly a few years ago when Disney told us they were sold out. Good luck.

It looks like the problem date is the 11th. When you plug in the dates 12/12-12/14...there is availability.
