Would you book now?
The dates I want for next easter are available direct with the hotel I've chosen. It's a busy time of year, a popular hotel (BW park place) and there's a specific room type I want.
It isn't available yet on 3rd party booking sites like booking.com Do I book with the hotel & secure my room possibly costing more & meaning I have to pay in dollars. Or do i learn to be patient and wait for it to become available through other sites for price comparison atleast? The BW site requires my card to book but it's unclear whether I'm charged now or later, does anyone know? It also says I can make changes up to a certain date without penalty so I'm assuming I could cancel if I did find a better rate elsewhere. |

If you're anything like me then I would book it now, especially if there's a specific room type you want. Otherwise I would just obsess and worry about it. My dh is the opposite though and would say to wait 😂

Holiday obsessing is my part time job haha.
Think I'll go and find out for sure if it's a flexible rate that can be cancelled and just book it if it is. I really want a mini suite so the kids don't have to bed share (boy/girl with a 4.5 yr age gap) and this definitely my first choice. Thank you |

we are in a similar situation in that we are planning on October, but i can't afford to book anything until end of May.
However, I always play with flight prices and i could not resist in the sale. But luckily as it was coupled with a car, it became a package so i could just put a deposit down. We have also spotted some incredible places to stay (we need three places) and we buckled on one as it was so amazing and i doubt the price will change. |

OMG! yes. Why is it that almost every hotel room in the United States has two blinking doubles?
I have two teenage girls and they just can't sleep in one bed. They have had to do it on the odd occasion but neither gets a good night sleep. So all our accommodation this time will be apartments/condo's from homeaway. Its so much better...plus we get a kitchen and that saves a fortune rather than having to eat out each night and we can prepare packed lunches. Anaheim has plenty right on top of Disney, but struggling to get the right area for the LA/Universal part of our trip. |

Is this the one directly opposite the park? If so I’ve stayed there... I found the price has shot up since we stayed 2 years ago so I booked a Springhill instead. Shame as it was handy when we left at night just to walk across the road (but not £’s handy )
