When will hotel rates be released?

[SerpentQueenClaire]

We want to book a 2 night stay at the Grand Floridian for November this year but are struggling to find someone other than Disney direct to book with. Expedia UK don't have rates available yet-does anyone know when these will be released? Also, any suggestions on who to book with? Thanks!

What dates and price do you have, I will have a look around see if its cheaper in my list of sites, Expedia have possibly no more availability for you dates or they could appear, thats just the way sites like Expedia work.

Thank you, that's really kind! I am after two nights at the Grand Floridian, 7 & 8 November, 1 room, 2 people. Best (and only) price I've seen so far is $530 for a Lagoon view room. We are after either Lagoon view or theme park view, don't think we can stretch to anything else!!

Can't understand Expedia not showing (although I often have trouble with them and showing Disney hotels) They are showing on Hotels.com which is the same search engine/same company.

Anyway best deal I see is Ebookers.com via Quidco who are offering 12 % cashback just now.
Garden view £635.08 less 12% = £558.87 for 2 the nights
Lagoon View £723.88 less 12% = £637.01
Themepark View £778.50 less 12% = £685.08

Looks like you can cancel upto 4 days before arrival if you see a better rate but check T&C's if you go for it. I would not tie into any offer so far out with a Disney hotel at such a high rate, chances are the rate will drop nearer unless its a US holiday week?

Hopefully disney will have some sort of discount come out, we're hoping for an annual pass rate for October (we are going to probably book a bounce back rate when we're there in a few weeks).
I booked our first night which was covered in the last offer disney had and got a garden view room for £234 a night. (1 st Oct, this was the last day the promo covered) just need another 6 nights now....
