Just some things to consider that probably helped sell out some of the resorts:
Other than
MNSSHP being mostly on Fridays and Sundays, which helped book up the weekends in October, plus Monday the 13th is a Gov. holiday, making for a long weekend Oct. 10-13.
Plus the big official openning of Mission Space Oct. 9th (I think this is the correct date), which I would think, lots of folks will make the weekend out of it, especially the big wigs that will be attending (probably lots of folks from NASA and Disney--I think an invitation only event at EPCOT)
The golf tournament is Oct. 23-26, plus there are 2 MNSSHP (the 24th and 26th), making this a tough weekend to get a room.
The food and wine festival begins Oct. 18 and runs until Nov. 16.
Festival of the Masters is the weekend of Nov. 7-9
And if the crowds can get worse
there is also the Super Soap Weekend the same times Nov. 8-9
Tues. Nov. 11th is another gov. holiday, causing folks to take a long weekend Nov. 7-11
I also hear that this is Jersey week Nov. 10-14
And Nov. 15-16 is the last weekend of the food and wine.
And lets not forget that with the holidays, lots of family come in and visit with their CM relatives--so lots of CMs book the weekends for their friends and relatives and usually get a great rate.
whew!!
