How far out to book the hotel?

[todzwife]

We are planning on a surprise trip first week of March next year. Suggestions on when to book to get the best rates? I'm looking at hojo and park vue.

Would love to know the answer too!!

I'd book now, to hold a room at the current rate (if it looks decent) and keep checking back monthly to see if they go lower.

I had the Hojo rates go up $10 in the week my partner and I figured out the exact dates we were going. So I would say book as soon as possible.

Always book, a fully refundable room, as soon as you know your dates. The rates will only go up . I booked a room for our early January trip earlier this week and one of our days has already gone up $20.

You can in general book up to 11 months in advance.

I agree with booking early, as long as it's a refundable room. It makes the most sense to reserve it and check back periodically to see if it goes down. Often it will go up, but you won't have to worry about that.

I also agree about booking a refundable/changeable room as soon as you know your dates and then keeping an eye out for specials and changing your rate accordingly.

This is what we do.

I agree, I'd book it now, just making sure you can cancel and keep checking to see if the price goes now. You don't want to wait and then not get it, that'd be a major bummer.

We booked a room at BWPPI a few months in advance, and they emailed us that the rates had gone DOWN $10 a night, and they would be giving us a lower rate. I was both suprised and pleased. We will stay there again next time we visit Disneyland!

We have already booked our HOJO for next March, and the rates already have gone up 25 a night since we booked.
