I spent the morning checking out rates for our October 26-30 trip. We always stay at RPH and have never had an issue booking, even within the last few months prior to arrival. Today, I found higher prices than normal and limited room choices online. I called reservations and was told they are almost sold out at RPH during our stay. I was able to get 2 King Club rooms through Orbitz at a lower rate than a regular room through universal. The person I spoke to at Loews says orbitz and other agencies buy up blocks of rooms in advance and may have them even when the resort is sold out. The rate I got was $299/night. More than we've ever paid for a room at RPH but we never stay club. I just wanted to make sure we got something! So I would at least get a placeholder room if you are going in October, just in case. Better options may open up if people cancel, and I'll check back to see if they offer an APH rate (doubtful for our dates since it seems booked already). Hope this is helpful!
