Miracosta Partial View Room Availability?

[TomGirl307]

Hi All,
I made my TDR honeymoon reservations via the handy, new online booking system, but for some reason the Miracosta's Porto Paradiso Partial View rooms are not listed. Other room types are listed as "fully occupied" but the partial view rooms are not listed at all. Anybody know why?

I've been trying to call the reservations line on and off (very sporadically) for months now, and there never seems to be any English-speaking cast members on hand. Has anybody else tried successfully recently?

We'll be at TDR May 11 to 16.

Thanks!

What time do you call? The last few times I have made reservations, the English speaking CMs were not available until about noon-early afternoon JST.

I am not sure about that - but I also booked usuing the Vacation Maker and kept checking back. One day there were no rooms and then the next a whole bunch had been released. I ended up getting exactly what I wanted at both Mira Costa and the Disneyland Hotel. Although I was very stressed for a few weeks as I thought I had missed out.

I called just 15mins after they (reservations) opened a couple of times. And got an English speaking person right off each time. And got the room I wanted. Will be there the same time as you. How funny. And good luck.

Thanks for the input, everybody. So I guess both the phone systems and online is pretty hit-or-miss... I'll just keep trying both. But really, if I'm sleeping on the side of the road does it really matter? As long as that road is in the vicinity of TDR, I figure I can't lose. Thanks again!

Maybe you can try some other time to call...

Man, you guys must be my good luck charm or something because I randomly tried last night and reached an English-speaking cast member w/o any problems. She even called me back when we accidentally got disconnected! Too bad the room I wanted was only available on the 12th... I'll just have to keep calling.

GUYNYC, that is funny! I'm hoping it's a good time to be at the parks since it's after Golden Week. But I'd read that, more and more, the Japanese are travelling more in the vicinity of Golden Week rather that that particular week itself. What's the buzz you've been hearing regarding that time of year?
