Bounce Back in Jan. 2008?

[Disney Fans]

We are taking a trip mid Jan. and feel lucky to get a discount AAA room rate for then. It seems now that values and mods are now sold out in Jan????
Was there a bounce back from last Jan. for this Jan? I thought it might be because of the Mickey Run going on but that is a week before we go so that can't be why it is so booked? Any thoughts??

We booked at a mod for january 08, but it was months ago. However, we did just upgrade to a deluxe with no problems.... I hope it's not sold out totally.... Yuck.... Crowds.... I thought January was a slow time...

We have a mid-January trip planned and had to do some scrambling to get the resorts/dates we wanted (surrounding our five nights on points at OKW). For families with college-age kids, January is the time to travel -- between semesters!

We also were thinking what you are. Thats why I think it is crazy that 1000,s of rooms are sold out in mid Jan.?????Crazy

I would think yes some schools but alot of schools that have semesters still start in Jan.

disney recently sent out codes for discount packages jan thru early march. could this have something to do with it?

If you are booking around the Martin Luther King Holiday things will be very crowded as a lot of schools have a 4 day weekend. The week before that is the Marathon so that always adds crowds especially in the value and mods. The last week does not look to crowded..... yet

I notice if I put in 'some' of my dates there is lots of availability, but if I put in that marathon weekend, that is when it looks like nothing is available. So I am guessing if you put in a weeks stretch that included the marathon, it will come up unavailable.

I booked months ago with AAA for 1/21 - 1/26 and was not able to get EXACTLY what I wanted. When the Disney Visa codes came out, I WAS able to get what I wanted in the first place. So, I think the AAA availability may be the problem. There are now public codes that give a bigger discount than AAA, and (at least when they came out a few weeks ago) seemed to have more availability. I suggest you give CRO a call to see what they can come up with.
