When I called to check on the latest on ETA for 2008, the reservationist said that they were accepting reservations through May 2008. I had called the
U/O 800 number by the way.
The bad news is that they are currently charging rack rate and so you would have to call later to check on the various discounts (AAA, for qualifying rate). The really bad news is that they do not have codes for the free suite upgrades for platinum members. You either book the garden view room only and call periodically to see if they have the upgrade codes or you go ahead and pay for the portofino suite which is $290, in addition to the garden view room which is $329. You then can call back periodically for the upgrade code at which time they will either credit your account or refund your cc for the $290. I did the latter to ensure a suite since we are going over Presidents Day weekend in Feb and that is typically a busy weekend.
Anyway, I was able to ensure the suite for Feb now I just have to wait for the rest of 2008 to open up, the upgrade codes/discount codes to come out.
