any hope for May 9?

[Leslie]

Hi!
Last night I tried to get a standard room at the Yacht Club for the week of May 9. Nothing was available except suites. The Beach Club was the same way. I even asked about Annual Pass rate rooms.

I know it's getting late, but do you think there is any chance of getting a standard room for this week? What about a standard discounted room or Annual Pass discounted room?

I am planning this trip for my parents and was finally able to get a standard room at the Boardwalk Inn for $428 after taxes. They really had their hearts set on the Y&B Club.

Do you have any advice for me?

Thanks!

Have you tried BCV's? You may be able to find someone who has already booked a reservation there on the DVC Rent/trade board that they're trying to rent out last minute....ya never know. You'd be renting the points for that type of stay though vs. booking directly thorugh Disney.

The only other thing you can really do is keep calling back several times a day to see if anyone has canceled and availibility has opened up. The closer you get to the date, the more likely someone may cancel before the deadline to cancel...within that 5days for room only.

BWI from what I understand is wonderful....they may end up really enjoying it, so I wouldn't worry too much if that's what they end up with.

Best of luck though!

If you can't get a standard room at rack rate you surely won't be able to get one at an AP rate. If they're full, they're full. All you can do is keep calling back, hopefully they'll have some cancellations. Good luck, I hope you get it. If not I think your parents will still be very happy over at the Boardwalk, it's lovely. As an after thought you might try looking on Expedia, sometimes I have seen availability on there after CRO has told me THEY have nothing available. Might be worth a try.

Actually, now that Keys2kindom is mentioning it...Expedia is probably are good place to try....Disney sells them a separate alotment of rooms from what I understand so while CRO may not have availibility, Expedia just might.

Best of luck!
