499 advance booking- still available?

[lodge]

I tried to book a 2016 trip to the Fort and was told only until Dec 31, 2015 could be booked. I also could not book via the website. Is the 499 day (or sooner, in this case) no longer an option? I want my Fort!!

If it is, it's a new policy because we booked for June of 2016 about a month ago.

I'd try and call back. Maybe you got a newer CM that didn't know how to do it.

Here is a site that might be helpful too. http://**************.net/2011/02/21/how-far-in-advance-can-you-book-a-walt-disney-world-vacation/

Call back. Somebody about 2 weeks ago posted same thing and when they called back they were able to book the campsite

You folks were correct- the original CM was mistaken. I have my Springtime reservations booked! Thank you for prompting me to call back.

Yea! Glad you were able to get it taken care of.

I am looking at June 2016 too, anyone get AAA for 2016?

 

[tiggerdad]

AAA no longer offered, too bad really.

Just booked JUNE 2016, no AAA and No non expiring tickets . The last 3 trips we would stay between 3-4 weeks due to our 2200 mile drive from AZ. We had the non expiration tickets so we could do one day at the park then one day off at the campsite. I still have two days left from 2012 and 2014 to help stretch out the 14 day rule. Pretty silly that they have a 10 day ticket option that you have to use in 14 days. We had a rate of 90-95 for deluxe for loop 600 last trip and now with the increase and no AAA we are in the $ 120 per night. OK enough crying for now, this is the first step of a great trip to be looking forward too and I just need to save a little more (and hope for AAA to return)

Just don't hold your breath waiting for the AAA discount!! We enjoyed it several trips while it lasted!

Also, you might want to get an AP if your stay is 3-4 weeks. We usually stay 10-14 nights, and usually get the AP, then come back once more at the end of the year period. That way we come and go as we please without thinking of using days. Some days we only are in the parks a few hours - depending----

Just had a 14 night trip, got our AP's, will go again late winter Feb. '16, then we will skip some time, and go to other destinations more.

On-Line is only until 31 December. 2016 should be available in about 2 months. This is when the packages are available. I got my April 2016 499 days in advanced. Keep in mind it is from the last day of your trip not the first.
