I just wanted to reply, when I've had problem with no points availability, but cash rates were available I've had VERY good luck calling the Monday before our trip... they call the resort directly & they move some point allocations around & can arrange for your room... Actually, I called yesterday & had this very same thing done for our Thanksgiving trip.... but usually you call the Monday before your trip... There are cash rooms available, because the Developer (Disney), will ALWAYS reserve at least 4% of the resort for cash stays....
