RVinMomma 4 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I just went to book 2 weeks during Christmas 2012 and the only sites available are pop-up sites, booooo! I am hoping to be at WDW December 15-29. Oh well, I will keep trying and hope someone cancels! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Unfortunately Christmas week is THE busiest week of the entire year at WDW and at the Fort, and it's not at all unusual for people to book it right at the 499 day mark.Keep trying though! Cancellations happen - especially as you get much closer to that week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LORNADUCK 261 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 try putting in a longer amount of time. Also if you go on the main page, Judy Fiest is a travel agent that advertises here and is a member, also Roz who is a member is a travel agent tell either one that you are a member her and maybe they can help you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm also having trouble finding 2 weeks for late November, early December in anything but a partial. The culprit for mine seems to be Dec 4 - 8. I'll keep trying, I'm sure it will pop up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Judy was able to book Christmas 2012 for us. When I tried it was full. I don't know how she did but she did. Thanks again Judy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brerroadrunner 8 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 It is always this way unless you bbok early....but just keep calling every day -shorten your requested days and then add on as they become available. I have started with just one night and kept calling till I would get my three weeks. Tenacity and patience has always paid off and I have always gotten my dates over Christmas at the Fort for the last17 years that we have gone. Good Luck and maybe we will see you over Christmas!

Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Give Judy a try.....she is magical.....she can make your December trip possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
disneylitch......Debbie 60 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Make sure you call everyday and tell the CM to keep extending the time until you get something. I had to book the entire month and then cancelled what I didn't need. Also, you are better off calling and not using online reservations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since it is not a public school they technically do not have to follow the new law for start and end dates. They typically though try to keep the calendars with in a couple of days of what the city is using. His school is in Huntsville City limits so they for the most part go by that calendar. Now that he is in high school and plays football and basketball the fall break, Thanksgiving Break and Christmas break have become almost non existent as they are taken up with games and tournaments. Even if they don't have to return until August 20th he still has football practices starting August 6th so, any extended summer plans just go right out the window.

Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Our school board tells the teachers to withdraw a student who is going to miss a week or more during the year. Then when we return from our vacation we just put them back on their bus and send them to school. They are re admitted. This keeps the school from having so many absences on records and losing money for all the children who are absent. Works for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
