Welcome to planDisney!
I've found that life always seems to have a bit more sparkle when there's a Walt Disney World Resort vacation on the horizon. It must be the pixie dust. While it's never too early to dream of your next visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, there's nothing quite like securing the Disney Resort hotel reservation for your upcoming visit and seeing the
countdown appear in your My Disney Experience app.
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble finding availability at the hotel you're hoping to call your magical home away from home. I'm currently in the same situation for an impromptu weekend visit, so I understand how you are feeling! Because the Walt Disney World website shows current availability at any given moment, I suggest periodically refreshing the website for your desired dates. I've noticed varying Resorts and price points pop up as fellow Guests modify their plans. You'll also see varying availability between
standard rates and
special offers, so I suggest checking both regularly.
While the website typically displays the most up-to-date information, if you're still not seeing the available room you were hoping for after monitoring the pages mentioned above, you can indeed reach out to a helpful
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations Cast Member by phone to see if they are showing different availability than the website. It's important to keep in mind that Cast Members are unable to make rooms magically appear, but I'm a firm believer that you'll never know if you don't ask!
Even if you're unable to secure the room you were dreaming of, with the
perks available to all Guests of Walt Disney World's hotels (
including entry to a water park on check-in dates in 2025) you're sure to enjoy your stay no matter where you lay your head. My current favorites are
Disney's All-Star Music Resort,
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, and
Disney's Contemporary Resort.
I hope this was helpful and that you're in the middle of the magic
real soon! If you're in need of additional assistance as you finalize your plans, feel free to
stop back by. I'm always happy to help!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
