I just got back last night and I'm eager to book next years trip!! It's coming up soon isn't it? Like within a month or two? TIA!
Just tried to look at April 2014 availability and nothing is available. Can I assume this is just because the web doesn't have it yet? What a ridiculous system if so -- online I can choose April 2014 and my dates, but there is nothing in the results?
When do they release availability?
Earlier today I was asking a CM about making reservations for next year and was told that you can make a room-only reservation over the phone up to 499 days in advance. IF I understood him correctly, online booking for 2014 wouldn't be available until later this summer or early fall.
We are looking to book for January 2014. If the prices don't come out until August we are already a month past our 180 days for reservations. Can I just make them and then later get them tied into my hotel reservation? We went in January of this year but booked in September and barely got any reservations.
Yes, anyone can book reservations at 180 days and they are tied to a phone number, not a reservation.
The only disadvantage is that you don't have the 180 days plus ten, if you had a reservation.
Lauraubie said:We are going in January 2014 (my husband is doing the Dopey) we were able to book a package today when I called. The first person I spoke with offered to book my room only + park tickets. When I asked if I could book a package she transferred me to another person to do it. I believe this option is only available to those booking for the marathon though.
Typically the following year's room rates are released after the ticket price increase. It used to be tickets were increased the first week in August, followed by the room rates for the following year. Last year the ticket increase was mid June, followed by the room rates a couple weeks later. Since the ticket increase was released on 6/3, I would expect 2014 room rates to come out soon.
I really hope so! I've only been back 2 days and I really can't wait to book!
