I know that they had the fall special out before the end of April last year. When we booked for Oct last April we were already faced with some availability issues. Dont wait to long unless your dates or hotel choice is flexible!
Originally Posted By RoJo IF you are staying onsite,it is wise to book your vacation as ealy as possible. We book our yearly Christmas trip at least 11 months in advance,although this year we didn't get downtown Disney view .But sometimes things work out for the best as we were given a corner room in the Bonita tower which was a much bigger room than the Sierra tower.
Originally Posted By 4Disnee We booked our trips in Jan for December and I was surprise how booked the DLH was so far in advance. But I usually try to call to see if they are running any better rates or have AP rates. You can always book early and they usually give you the good rates if they have any available. At least that is what we do.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I prefer to book earlier and make sure I get exactly what I want and don't risk it selling out - especially because I never "just" go to Disneyland (normally travel to a few other cities or states at the same time, so if one step in the planning process goes wrong it can throw the whole thing out). I'd rather be prepared, even if it means I might pay a little extra.
Originally Posted By practicallyperfect I always book as early as the hotels let me reserve a room. Don't buy tickets (since we have APs) but usually have about 3 or 4 hotels reserved. I especially always get DLH or GCH early and then just keep on calling and checking prices. We are heading for a quick trip this Friday. I have had ressies at DLH, CCI and BWPPI since last September. Glad I do because all the resort hotels are sold out as is CCI and BWPPI. Now I just have to make a decision (tomorrow) where to stay. DLH is still at $218/night!
