2009 Booking Window Question

[A2Goofy]

Does anyone know when we can book a room for 2009 (non-vacation club reservation)? We are planning a March 2009 trip and on the Disney website they only list reservations through 12/31/08. Thanks in advance for your help!

The 2009 prices are due out sometime in August. You can book a room only now (making a 1 night's room deposit, with the balance due at check-in), which will be quoted at the peak or holiday rate of 2008 and then adjusted when the 2009 prices are released. If you're wanting to book a package to start with, you have to wait until the 2009 prices are released. If you book a room only now and want to change it to a package after the prices come out, you will have to cancel the room only and then book a package (which requires a $200 deposit with the balance due 45 days prior to arrival), as room only ressies can't be converted to packages.

maybe we can get something about this info as a sticky? as it seems to be asked at least twice a day?

Mickeynut1 and Lollypop's Mom, thank you for your replies. Sorry to add to the daily notes. I did not see this posted on my quick check of the main resort board. A sticky would definitely help other with the same question.

Oh no worries about you asking it at all - but it would be easier for people looking, as it is asked constantly - heck even I asked it about 3 weeks ago!
