OKW availability next August?

[pigby]

As flight prices are nearly due up for the end of August, I went onto Disney.co.uk to check OKW price again but when I looked this morning and also just now, it it saying no availability for our dates - we are talking 20th to 31st August so quiet time. The availability was showing with free dining for
1st August for 2 weeks so can't understand it - the deal is supposed to be still on with max discount here and at Saratoga but neither show availability for my dates.

What could be going on - do you think it's a blip on the site or uploading different prices etc?

There has been a couple post now, no idea whats happening. I doubt we will book until we have flights so may not be getting the deal if they are elling out already.

Its the same for SSR next October, Virgin Holidays are also showing no availability for a flight inclusive holiday next October

Panic starts a year in advance that I'm not going to get my flights

OKW and SSR have disappeared for my same week end Oct/early Nov. I've seen this happen before, then days/weeks later they come back.
This current offer I read somewhere said book by 1st Nov. I won't be doing that anyway, though it's possible the offer might be extended.

OKW and SSR disappeared from Complete Orlando too and then reappeared a week later.

That's good to know - you never know - they might reappear cheaper

I thought I woulod check out the Complete Orlando site and they are coming out over £100 cheaper and have availability. I know a lot of people on here speak about this company but I had never heard of it before - I assume they are reputable and have been in business a while?

Its owned by Attraction Tickets Direct who have been trading since 2002. Only hear good things about them but as always pay by credit card for extra protection. http://www.completeorlando.co.uk/corp/about-us.php

We noticed this too yesterday so we rang disney uk to see if it was fully booked as we were unable to get availability after the 24th August. We were told that they are not accepting bookings for dates more than 11 months in advance for OKW and SSR at the moment and to ring back in 2 weeks to book the dates we want. Put our minds at rest!!

Interesting, thanks. Disney moves in mysterious ways...

Sounds like its something to do with the fact that DVC owners have 1st dibs on booking 11 months out (at home resort). Once you get past that window it may pop back up.

The inventory that Disney sells to the general public is totally seperate to the DVC so that shouldn't affect it.

We are waiting on OKW to appear back on the Disney site for September. Though all going to plan we will be buying into the DVC on our January trip.

This is really strange. I am ready to book but OKW and SSR have vanished. I only have to the end of the month as I want to try to get free dining. I dont believe they have sold their allocation. The are a couple of thousand rooms at both resorts. Fingers crossed they appear on my screen soon.
