Hi Cynthia,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I am so sorry that you have not had any luck finding a
value resort hotel for the dates of your visit.
When I checked the arrival date indicated, there seemed to be rooms at all of the value resorts. My guess is that your party size might be too large for the value resort room categories? I checked for a party of two adults and two children. If you have five or more guests in your party, you would need a family suite at a value resort. Disney's
All-Star Movies Resort has family suites but they are limited.
Disney's Art of Animation Resort has a number of family suites. When I checked for your arrival date, it looked as if there were family suites available. But there may not be availability for the entire length of your stay. You may need to check different departure dates. Or, you could split your stay between two different value resorts.
Disney's Art of Animation family suites can sleep six adults. If your party is larger than six adults, you will need to try other resort options. Take a look at this
guide that identifies resort accommodations for larger parties. Cynthia, there really is no "best" time to check resort hotel availability other than booking at least six months in advance. If you still cannot find a suitable room online for the dates of your visit, try calling guest services at 407-939-5277. The cast members are always helpful!
Magic, memories and Minnie Mouse hugs,
Donyell
