How to get a room when resorts are full?

[diz_princess]

Hi all,
At the last minute we decided to go to Disney before our cruise. I was wondering if there is a trick as to getting a room when the resorts are full.
Ex. Rooms cancellations are released into their systems at x time. Or such-and-such website blocks rooms and you can reserve a room thru them.
Anyone know any tricks? I would appreciate hearing them.
Thank you in advance!

I was just checking that right now thru AAA. AAA shows availability, when the wdw site doesn't. Not sure when you are going , but AAA rates/rooms not available at thanksgiving.

I'd also try Dreams Unlimited (link on the front page). Dolphin told me no more rooms at teacher rate, but DU got me one. I think the bigger travel agencies might have a hold type agreement with Disney.

Call a travel agent (Dreams Unlimited is great). Vacations Express, Delta Vacations, AAA, etc. all have blocks of rooms reserved to make reservations. An agent can check all of these options for you pretty quickly. These tour operators also reserve special priced bookings so you can save money over what you would normally pay anyway.
