do rooms tend to open up closer to date of arrival?

If I am waiting for rooms at a moderate to open up for labor day weekend timeframe (yes, less than a month away), what are the chances of that actually happening? Is there a point when people stop changing and cancelling reservations (other than the the time frames imposed by the restrictions of WDTC)?

Or do choices grow smaller as each day passes?

I can see that the resorts are pretty full for that time period (thanks, I guess, to the free dining) and the only place to go is up... do you think that many people will decide to change from a moderate to a delux in the weeks leading up to their vacation?

How often do room-only reservations get cancelled right before the trip?

It will most likely get smaller. Last year, my dad and I lucked out and were able to get a value Labor Day weekend (Saturday-Monday) on the Wednesday before, because of a tropical depression coming threw. Room-Only's have to be canceled 5 days in advance so you can try then.

on room only reservations the cancellation is 5 days out I would check then. I was lucky to get what I wanted then.
