Does anybody know what's going on during this time? I planned to take a nice 4 day trip down there when things should be slow.....and I am having an awful time finding available rooms. I have reserved a room at the Embassy Suites in Buena Park (we will probably hit Knotts one day) but I was hoping to try out Hojos or one of the property's hotels during this trip. Sounds like evrything is sold out at the three resort hotels, Hojos, and the Candy Cane.

Did I miss something here? Are schools out during that time? I'm not going during "gay days" again am I? Any help would be much appreciated!

The entire month is busy. There some some various activities at the resort, and from the sounds of things lots of conventions in the area. Add to that the 50th, and things are fililng up quick!

Gay days are the first weekend in Oct, so you are missing it by about 3 weeks. But, the Halloween activies (at DCA) are the weekend you'll be there. So that will increase attendance a bit.

We'll be there at that time, too. We tried booking online and everything was sold out. Then we called Disney directly and got a room at the pph. The other one's were available, too, but the prices were way toooo high. If you call the Hojo directly, you can sometimes get a room that way. (we did this on a previous trip)
I've heard great things about the hotel you have booked, it's supposed to be very very nice.
