New interface to book WDW packages/rooms online? ...2013 rates coming soon?

[KuyaJeff]

It looks like there's a new interface for booking packages/rooms on http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/ perhaps it's leading up to the 2013 rates? As of now, it only goes up to December of 2012...

It's frustrating that a company like Disney can't get 2013 rates our quicker. We made resort reservations on line for our room in January but will have to cancel and rebook when the package deals come out. Don't even think about calling and asking this question. I have received a different answer each time. I was given time frames of June to December.

They must have been testing that interface for the past couple of weeks, I saw it 1-2 weeks ago for an hour or two and then it went back to the way it was.

There is a new message when I try to look up 2013 dates...

Sorry, Walt Disney World Resort reservations are currently available for check-in dates up to and including December 31, 2012. To make 2013 reservations now, please call the Disney Reservation Center at (407) 939-5670.

I called just to double check and the 2013 packages aren't available, just to save everyone a phone call

I also saw it briefly last week, I thought I was on the wrong website for a second!

Several threads have been started on this; the 2013 room only rates are available - by calling. The 2013 tickets prices have already been announced.

The packages are not.

I am aware, but this is the first time that message has been on the website. In the past it would just automatically reset to a closer a date and said you couldn't make past December. There had never been any specific message about calling. The message is also not specific to room only, it just says call about 2013.

I just checked two min ago and got this message.

Warning
2013 Walt Disney World Resort package and room-only reservations will be available online on July 11, 2012!

At this time, you can make online reservations for 2012 Resort arrivals through December 31, 2012. To make room-only reservations for 2013 dates, please call the Disney Reservation Center at (407) 939-5670.


So it looks like July 11 is when everyone can book.

Thanks, Hulles! P.S. Love the icon, I am a huge ME fan. Took off of work to play ME3 when it came out and finished it in 4 days lol.
