So…let’s say I was kicking around the idea of a solo trip. A Sunday to Sunday trip any week in January or February. Which weeks would be the “best?” Which weeks should I avoid? Not saying at all this trip will happen, but Allegiant Air has cheap direct flights from a small airport an hour from my house. The nonstop flights go to Sanford, not MCO, so that would involve a bunch of other questions. But first, the hurdle of which week?
I’d pick either January 29- Feb. 5 or February 5-12
Well, the All Star resorts are 100% booked for all of January and February. Is that typical? I can get a random 2-3 days in the middle of a week in mid January, but that’s all I can find. There are no week-long rooms available at all at All Stars. Pop century has availability the week ending in Presidents Day weekend, but I would prefer not being there at all on a “holiday.”
So I booked a last minute trip Feb 14-18 with a friend. We are going to do the After Hours parties which are typically on Sunday and Wednesday or something, but on that week are on the 15th and 16th.
I was hoping to stay in the Epcot area but all the hotels are booked then too.
If you want in on the “mini” Liner meet, choose dates that coincide with January 18-22.
Did you find availability at any resorts that week?
How much lead time do you need?
Availability could open up a week out as folks cancel their room only reservations.
Are the DS hotels all booked - B Resort, Holiday Inn, Doubletree. They might be good for backup to cancel when a value/moderate opens up last minute.
Or sample lots of resorts! If it’s Tuesday it must be Pop.
I was able to get pop for the 14-18. Those were the cheapest flight dates so I was focused on those. (I got two round trip tickets for about $500 on United!)
I think I’m just going to wait until early summer and take the kid with me. He wants to go back to UOR, so we might tack on a few Disney days (or more or a week or…you know…Disney math!)
We like going in early February. If you’re a festival person, check out the start date for Festival of the Arts.
