Ugh! I'm 'Recalculating...' again.
Well that progress lasted a whole ten minutes

I will definitely be waiting on those discounts to come out to apply to my booking. I'm hoping to apply the Disney Visa discount as soon as it's available.Why don't you wail for them to release discounts?
There are probably a lot of people looking at prices today, but not actually booking.
Fewer discounts get released when people do this. I really don't see the point.I will definitely be waiting on those discounts to come out to apply to my booking. I'm hoping to apply the Disney Visa discount as soon as it's available.
For dates like Spring Break months and holiday weeks you kinda have to err on the side of caution. Especially with special room needs and larger parties. Not sure still tho if this is really a huge influx of reservations or Disney IT at its finest againFewer discounts get released when people do this. I really don't see the point.
Yeah, the most obnoxious part of this, is that I need to use the system for an actual trip coming up in two weeks, and cannot because of this nonsense. Why Disney IT continues to be so awful is beyond me.Unless they’re trying for a limited room (2 bedroom suite at deluxe hotel over an holiday) over a very popular period, I don’t know why anyone is booking today. Normal rooms are not gonna sell out the first few days.
And sadly, I am in the same boat as you. Have a friend asking to see something next year for her tho while I’m in…if I get inYeah, the most obnoxious part of this, is that I need to use the system for an actual trip coming up in two weeks, and cannot because of this nonsense.

I book early because I usually want the more limited rooms like Club Level.For dates like Spring Break months and holiday weeks you kinda have to err on the side of caution.

Yup, that’s where I was going with that. My friend is looking for an AoA suite during spring break week. They’ll be selling like hotcakes tooI book early because I usually want the more limited rooms like Club Level.
I swear if I wasn't planning a birthday trip that falls on spring break I would NOT still be waiting in this.Yup, that’s where I was going with that. My friend is looking for an AoA suite during spring break week. They’ll be selling like hotcakes too

They haven’t been available the last few times I’ve tried to book. You’re probably right about the first few days though…I’ve been booking CL for over 25 years. Even they don’t sell out the first days. I’ve even gotten discounts over holiday weeks because there are still CL rooms available when discounts come out.
It would be interesting if some of you check in a few weeks & let us know if your dates, room categories & resorts have actually sold out. Just for data points.
I agree that they don’t completely sell out of CL, but there are certain CL rooms - not whole room categories - that I have never seen available so I thought today would be a blank slate day to finally get to see what the price would be and to have a chance at booking them.I’ve been booking CL for over 25 years.

Same - I almost exclusively stay CL, and we’ve been going over spring break yearly since my kids were born - my oldest is now 24. I’ve never booked when reservations first opened. I even snagged a 2-bedroom at BWI for a May 2020 trip about two months prior, but sadly that trip didn’t happen. Saved a chunk of change though!I’ve been booking CL for over 25 years.

I've been in the queue for 3.5 hours now. My page has shown the approximate wait time as "recalculating" the entire time. I feel like it's broken, but I'd hate to refresh after all this time and lose my spot (assuming I have one at all lol)
I hope everyone gets the reservations they are wanting!
I went ahead and put in a request from a Dreams Unlimited travel agent earlier this morning. Better they deal with it than I do (And I mean that in the best & most appreciative way possible)
But in all seriousness, I'm hoping most of these heavy volume requests are for early or mid 2024 because my request is early December (personal favorite time to go even).
