Sometimes it helps if you are flexible with dates. I agree that it gets harder this far out from the release date. That is why it is such chaos when they release this promotion. Many times people cancel or change reservations though, so if you cannot change your date then I would keep trying. If you have not ever stayed at Pop Century, you might want to try it. We have stayed at POR a few times and love it, but Pop Century is much cheaper and we have stayed there for our last 5 trips! It is my fave value resort.
