Reservations

Why cant you make 2005 reservations for a trip to WDW? When do they open that up? I tried Dreams unlimited and Disney direct and neither one of them can give me a quote for 2005. I want to set up a trip for my DD birthday there.

Many times the rates for the following year do not come out until November. You may still book your vacation, but will not be given a rate until they officially come out.

As eeyore0062 said, you can book at the current rate, but it is not guaranteed past a certain point (meaning, your travel dates may be too far away, and Disney anticipates a price increase MAY happen between now and the time you arrive).

If you book through Dreams Unlimited Travel, they will update your pricing as needed if you'd like to book right away, either to the higher pricing when the rates are announced, or to a lower price if there's a good code rate during your travel dates.

For me to book my trip in 2006, I had to contact my Dreams agent directly with the dates I wanted since their site only goes to December of 2004. She sent me a link to the page that gives you the deposit info showing I owe a one night's stay. That's how I was able to book my trip so early. Of course if the rates change by then, and they probably will, an adjustment will be made to my ressie. HOWEVER...I am a FL resident, so I get some awesome discounts on room only rates!!

I emailed Disney with a question about our May 2005 trip, and they responded that I could make the hotel-only ressie now and then when the new rates come out my account would be adjusted accordingly, but even if I book now, I won't get the 2004 rates.

I'm going to wait and see when the new rates come out before I book.

I booked my Feb 2005 stay at AKL last week. The lady I spoke with told me that I'd be quoted at the current "rack rate" and need to make my deposit also at today's rate. Even though I'll be going in what should be Value Season 2005 I was charged for the deposit the going rate for March 2004.

She told me that when the 2005 rates are posted my reservation amount should change. If I own more on the deposit for the new rate then they'll just charge my CC the difference. If the rate goes down they will not credit my CC the difference but adjust the total amount for the reservation down. I just wind up paying a bit more in my deposit but pay less at check-in. In the end the total comes out at the lower rate.
