DL50th Hotel Rooms Available Aug. 1

[exDS vet]

In case anyone has been wondering, I heard that DLR will be releasing more hotel rooms for the actual 50th Anniversary celebration on August 1. Originally Walt Disney Travel Co. released limited rooms for the 3-night online package and they were surprised at how quickly the rooms sold. As of 7/29, the resort was "sold out" for the enitire anniversary period in mid-July of '05.

But again, they only released limited rooms. They wanted to keep plenty of rooms on the property available for vacationing guests who aren't necessarily planning on being there because of the birthday on July 17. I for one feel sorry for those people, because they are in for gridlock. Early estimates that I have heard is that as many as 138,000 people will try to visit Disneyland on July 17.

With the release of rooms on August 1, WDTC is also supposed to start taking reservations for the rest of 2005. I believe this might also include the "good neighbor" hotels. It's also possible that there will be more DLR rooms available in packages sometime during the first week of August.

Thanks for the info exDS vet. Wow, that could make a big difference for a family planning a trip during August 2005.

We are one of those who got a three night package for that weekend.

Can't wait to see you all there.

The good neighbor hotels should be ready to book around August 25th.

They are now taking reservations for the good neighbor hotels. I got mine for the Marriott Anaheim Suites for July 14 - 18. It saved me over $600 from what I tried to get at the Grand Californian. I'm glad I got this. No stress now.

exDS Vet - Did you call Disney to make your Good Neighbor Reservations? I tried to check prices online and they are still just showing the 3 Disney Hotels for the 3 night package only.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, I called the local number for Walt Disney Travel Co. The number is on the Disneyland website. Good Luck.
