Newbie question: Likelihood of October?

Hello all,

What is the likelihood of being able to book a reservation for 10/6/11-10/11/11 at this late date? AKL is our home, but we aren't picky as to where we stay. Any suggestions?

Thank you!
Danelle

I'm quite sure something will be available. Epcot area resorts would be toughest get due to Food and Wine Fest but I'll be surprised if you don't at least have options at AKV, SSR and OKW.

Thanks everyone! If none of my requested resorts are available, will they let me know what IS available? Or will I automatically be waitlisted?

TIA!

When you call, tell them your requested resorts, and tell them if they are not available, you'd like to know what is. They can check every resort for you, and then you can decide if you want to choose one of those or waitlist (or both! )

and welcome to the Boards!

You may not get an Epcot resort due to the Food and Wine Festival, but I don't think you will have any problem getting into other resorts.
