Where have all the rooms gone - Free Dining

[stepmead]

I was looking at CBR yesterday for next August for an idea of prices, and today the hotel isn’t even coming up with the same dates.

I compiled my 2020 records up to September 29 between late February and mid-March. These prices reflected an increase compared to the 2019 price without free dining, so I believe the annual increase had taken place when the 2020 prices were published.
That's not to say they won't make changes if/when an offer appears. As you know prices for 2019 were lower than expected pre-FD, then jumped to 2018 FD prices when 2019 FD was released. After FD ended they went back the pre-FD prices.

ETA: I'm only talking about the nightly resort prices here. Tickets fluctuated throughout the year, as well but I'm not taking that into account here.

Just checked for our dates for the beach club: 1st march 2020 for 10 nights and prices are still the same. There is no availability on standard rooms anymore (£3850 last time of checking), The garden rooms are available at £3900 so it all seems ok for our dates. No availabilty on Yacht Club except lagoon view and up! Lets just hope these prices stick if and when the offer comes out!

Yacht Club & Beach Club have loaded more of the cheaper categories of rooms onto the site for end of August. Previously YC only had the 20k suites available 😱

Wonder if we'll have to wait until release for October - December to appear? We're not going back next year, but I'm interested to compare to this years prices.

If they stick to the same pricing structure they've had for years and which was slightly modified for 2019 then they'll look like this:

- late September to late October = April 23 - May 23
- late October to December 17 = September 5 - late September.

For December 18-31 my best guess would be = January 1-4.
In previous years the low season kicked in on January 1st but for 2020 January 1-4 are quite high, so my guess is this is the Christmas pricing.

Just noticed a few more rooms types have come visible and the pricing discrepancy on the CBR options seems to have been rectified. Am now going to sit back and wait until 25th and see what’s available on the day.

I’m looking to book next Oct. Do you think it won’t be available to book until Sept then?

It will be available when the offer is released. It's normally available now, but not sure why it's not this year.
