I have to say that it really seems the HoJo is offering less & less Retro Rates to begin with OR the dates are just getting grabbed up ASAP.
Typically I have been able to book Retro Rates 4 months out with no problems. When planning our Disney vacay, the HoJo board is the 1st place I check. I then plan our vacay around the Retro Rates.
However, this time- there was NOTHING avail for anywhere near our desired timeframe. So either, they sold out 9+ months ahead of time or they just didn't post that many Retro Rates to begin with.
Because we love the HoJo so much, I still made a reservation and was able to get a small discount off the best avail rate with my ET card. Now, I'm just checking back every few days to see if anything opens up. I've heard too that the hotel is booked solid for our timeframe, so it's probably unlikely that they will open up any Retro Rates. But here's hoping...
FYI- I just checked the boards & there's still nothing available. But I did notice this "FOR DATES NOT LISTED ABOVE, YOUR CARD STILL GETS YOU A 10% DISCOUNT!" Didn't this discount used to be 15%??
