2023 Room Reservations Are Now Available

[Disneyloverliz]

When it comes to individual campsite reservations, there is no difference between a vigilant travel agent and a vigilant camping guest. The method used to secure a reservation is basically the same for either one.

The TA may have better "luck" because as a matter of survival/necessity, they try harder to secure the early reservation when the booking window opens AND, if they don't get one at opening, usually try OVER and OVER to get one if a cancellation/opening becomes available.

It's not a matter of "luck". It's a matter of persistence. I got a Halloween reservation a few years back because I was online booking at the minute the reservations for that arrival day (in late October) opened up. TA's have no "magic", no "back door access" for individual sites. Most just work hard, wake up early, and do the best they can for their clients. Groups for TA's are a separate, contract issue but for the onesie-twosie campsites, it's ever "man" for themselves.

In my opinion (of course) . Becuz WTH do I know, right?

PS-Of course, I have no idea. None whatsoever.

I always appreciate your insight, Bama Ed! I’ve got my camper rental reserved already, just hoping she has more time to be persistent than me!

Well good luck to you, @Disneyloverliz .

I'm an old(er) retired guy with time on my handz to wake up early and make a campsite/dining reservation at whatever hour around the globe is required (good luck to all).

I've become a little more cynical the more more I've learned about how the system works. Bottom line is I don't know why Disney would pay for reservations they would get without paying for (in the big picture). But welcome to the world of WDW Mgt. It's all about about getting promoted or pushed OUT of mgt.

I hope you get a site for your camper rental reservation.
