What's going on at Universal Next MAY?

I just tried to book ONE NIGHT next May (2009) and the ENTIRE WEEK I am in Florida is booked solid at ALL THREE of the Universal Hotels!!! I even called AAA and they don't have anything showing as available either!? I was really hoping to take DD Alicia over to Universal for one night while we are in Disney for our mother daughter trip (it would have been great to add it on at the end rather than pay for 2 hotels on the same night, but I would have done that if I had to!). I know they are smaller in size but geesh!

Universal hasn't released a specific date on the opening of HP island. The website states "late 2009". I'd check back with Universal later, as they may not have opened up all their rooms for booking this far in advance. It's been our experience that we found availability later on when it wasn't available earlier. So keep checking back with them periodically. Good luck!

I have also heard that it could be as late as "early 2010" as well.

Although, opening in May 2009 would be just fine with me as that is when we're taking our next big family trip . . .

Good to know! I was bummed! I know it is really silly to be booked at AKV and then BOOK a room at Universal, but it would be a blast! And my DD would LOVE it! I am going to keep checking and HOPEFULLY I can book it for our check OUT day from AKV!

Any idea when they typically open up their dates?
