Can someone talk me down from my ledge please?

I'm sure part of it is the planner in me, being so unplanned....

My concern is this:

We are staying Oct 14-21.

I was hoping for free dining, but that's out the window because Columbus Day is the 13th. Bummer.

I would like to stay at the Wilderness Lodge with bunk beds. We have stayed there before, and while thought of maybe staying at a different resort, we settled on this place.

There is a chance we would get a RO discount, but I'm freaked out that we won't get our room choice. I have a Disney Visa, so even if there were an early release, I'd still have to call for our reservation.

I have heard that getting a reservation blocks out discounted rooms. But I'm more afraid of not having a room.....BLAH what to do? It is during a slightly busy time of year...so do I really have a chance of not getting a room for our stay? Our airline tix have already been purchased.

Should I be talked down off the ledge or jump?!?!?

TIA!

The last two years had this time period blocked out from discounts. In 2013, Oct 5-19 were not discounted; in 2012 it was Oct 6-20.

Current in-room bounceback offer is blocked out for Oct 5-16. Bounceback offers are usually a good predictor of future discount periods at Disney.

Bunk bed rooms at WL usually don't fill up as quickly because they cost more. Your room type is not bad for an offer however your dates may be the problem.
