Orbitz/Cheaptickets no longer selling Disney Resorts (with 15-18% stacked discount)?

[lbwilliams]

Over the past few years, Orbitz and Cheaptickets (same company) have frequently offered promo codes that take an additional 15-18% off hotel rates off non-chain hotels. I've used these several times over the past 2 years to book Disney Resorts (either on DW or DL Resort property). Orbitz/Cheaptickets would routinely offer the same rates (incluidng any discount, like Fall savings, ect) that Disney offered on their website, so the 15-18% savings was stackable.

Recently, I searched for January rooms at Disneyworld on Orbitz/Cheaptickets both sites said they were sold out of all Disney properties for all dates I looked at in January (and I looked at some dates that were no where close to being sold out).

Anyone know if Disney has stopped letting Orbitz/Cheaptickets sell their resorts?

I booked our October trip through Orbitz in early June with a 15% off code, so it wasn't gone completely at that time.

However, availability was very limited. I couldn't find any free dining rooms on Orbitz (though we were "late," booking at 4.5 months). Not much availability directly thru Disney either, so I don't know if they were just all gone, or if they were never available on Orbitz at all. I'd be curious to hear other recent experiences too!

There has been various threads about this. Orbitz/CT haven't open up dates for January. There is no way for us to know if Disney have decided to not give them rooms at all or if they will eventually allocated some for them. There is also no way for us to know if they do if the codes will work with Disney hotels like they used to.

I think something is up. They have already discontinued the discount with Universal resorts, right? If they do this with Disney resorts there will be no real reason to book with them at all.

I got a code to work two weeks ago on a last minute trip.
