Hi everyone!
I haven't been to WDW since 2014 but I was invited by my boyfriend's family on a trip in January 2023. I have been scouting out room rates, but I am extremely shocked to see little to no availability for our dates. For background there are five of us, we are staying for 4 nights 01/11/2023 to 01/15/2023, and plan to be in the parks 01/12-01/14. They typically stay at BC/YC but I noticed very little availability at YC and BC is extremely expensive. We have for now booked a one-bedroom villa at AKL just so we can start the process. This is a backup for now, as we originally intended to rent two rooms/ two-bedroom villa.
Now, what I would love to find out is, will there be more rooms opening between now and January, will there be a possibility of discounts for our dates popping up, should we consider keeping the reservation at AKL, or should we consider maybe a different deluxe resort if they come available? They specifically are hoping to get better rates at BC or YC. I was curious to see if instead of staying at AKL or BC/YC it might be better to get two rooms at WL. That’s where my family always stayed years ago. Would saving time on travel to the parks at WL vs AKL be a better investment if BC/YC either are unavailable? Or should we hold out for BC/YC? Thanks in advanced!
