How soon can you make reservation?

[DisneyBliss7]

How long before your trip can you make reservations for a resort? If I call and do it over the phone can I make them sooner them waiting until it lets me online? We aren't going until next May, but we want to stay in the Art of Animation and I know it's new so I'm worried how fast it will fill up..

You can call now and reserve your room and they will adjust the price once the 2013 rates come out

You can book a room-only ressie up to 499 days before arrival. They will charge you full rack rate for the room and you leave a one night's deposit. After the new rates for the next year are announced, you can change to a package. You must call CRO in order to do this; you cannot do it online.

Thanks! How much do you have to pay to make your reservation? When is the total amount due?

It's 499 days before the date of check out. The rate, and the deposit, are equal to 2012 Christmas season rates.

Just wanted to add that if you book room only now and want to change to a package later, the room only will have to be cancelled/refunded and a package booked, requiring a new $200 deposit as money paid toward one cannot be applied to the other. The balance due for packages is 45 days prior to arrival .

Deposit of 1 night's room rate + tax, with the balance due at check in. You can also make payments along the way (if you want) and have it paid in full or partially paid before you arrive or just wait until you get there to pay the balance .

Thank you! I always forget to add that part!

It would be nice if Disney could figure out a way to convert one to the other without having to go through the process of cancelling and rebooking.

Actually the rates for 2013, unlike in previous years, are all guaranteed already. This year as soon as 2013 rates were released they came with guaranteed rates to make it easier for Guests to budget. In the past that was one of the most frustrating parts of booking a room without knowing what the rate would end up being. So at least when packages are released if you have booked a Room Only reservation, that portion will not change.
