New Ariel Rooms Already Sold Out, HELP!!!

[mickieKK18]

Well My title pretty much say it all. We are going to Orlando in October about a month after the Ariel rooms open and one of are nights are already sold out. We have been planning this trip since March but we kept changing it so we are finally booking hotels and stuff like that. This trip is 3 weeks long so except A Lot of Luggage. These are pretty much are only available dates. We were planning two night there. My Moms the biggest Ariel fan ever that's why we even added this stay and now I don't know what to do any advice, suggestion would really help.

Keep checking. Especially at the 30 day before mark, where everyone with packages needs to be paid in full. There will be cancellations.
Are you planning to do a package with dining, etc? I didn't think you could do more than 14 days per reservation. Are you looking to book one 14 day and then another 7 day?

ETA: My parents are vacationing with us in early October and they wanted to add one day at the end of their trip. Disney said they have a room that day, but not a block of rooms for their total length of stay. I don't get it.

We live in AZ so this trip Was originally a visit to a Potential University and For a cruise but we just kept adding. We were planning only two Night at AOA in the Ariel rooms. Not even planning to visit at park the only point was the room so I feel kinda screwed. Hope that clarifys a bit. I have been checking daily for the last week since i saw they we sold out.

You are only wanting two nights in a row? Try not to be disappointed yet.
They will almost definitely come up eventually. You just have to keep checking, like three times a day.
What nights are you looking for? Do you know if they are both sold out, or is it just the block of two?

My parents need 29th-5th. I walked through each night to see which nights were unavailable. Right now, I need the 29th and the 3rd to have the full block I need. YKWIM?

Were going the 16-18 from what i know only One night is sold out the 17 I'm not giving up hope yet I have been checking every chance I get. I just stress out really easily when things go wrong obviously and being less then three months out i just don't want things to go wrong now.

 

[MistressMerryweather]

Yeah, it will turn up. I would book the 16-17, then keep looking for the 17th to open up and then call in to add it on as soon as it comes up. HUGS Don't worry. Long time to go yet.

Like everyone else says, keep checking. Have a backup resort just in case though.

The same thing happened to us in November. We're DVC members but there was no availability at any of our resorts so we figured we'd try AoA in the Little Mermaid section the first night. I've never had a problem getting a room at WDW. Wouldn't you know there was no availability! I tried 2 days later and there was availability, luckily. My advice is just keep checking. GL!

Packages must be PIF in 45 days prior to arrival. That is when I would begin checking for an opening. The balance is due 45 days prior to arrival date, but you can pay it off however you wish until that due date! If you’re already within 45 days of arrival when you book the reservation, you'll need to pay in full when you confirm the reservation.

Book the night that is available, then keep checking. Worst case you have to cancel and switch to another resort. Done this before and it always seems to work out. Best of Luck.
