Booking for 2007

**zazu** · 18-08-2005, 18:53

we are hoping to have a villa holiday in 2007 either May or September, but not sure when we should be booking it. We are going in 4 weeks (staying onsite this time, but wished we had gone for a villa) and will probably think about our next holiday when we return. I know we can't book flights for a while yet, but i was wondering how far in advance owners take bookings for villas. Will they have prices already for 2007?

Thanks

Suzanne

Some owners do while others might prefer to wait. The best thing you can do is to put in a enquiry via one of the 3 sites at the top of this page and see who responds. You should certainly get a large choice of homes this far ahead.

I agree with Dave. This also gives you the time to look through all the villas that are available to you, short list and hey presto book.

Some people do like to book in advance to make sure that they have the villa of their choice , we already have some bookings in place for 2007 but it is down to personal choice

If you are an organised person, then book the home early one less thing to worry about.
Everyones different, some leave everything to the last minute.
I would want to get my home sorted first, if you have set ideas what you want, take you time and choose
the home of your dreams

We take bookings for 2007 with the advantage to guest in that we charge the current rate, so they can avoid price increases. Ok we might lose a little if there is a huge rise in utility cost but I'd much rather the organised people who are prepared to pay their deposit early get a bargain than those who leave it till the last minute and then often almost demand a reduction for last minute booking, which often entails more work rather than less to coordinate everything.

You are in the enviable position though that you have a chance to check out some of the areas on this trip (if you have a car), although things may well have changed in a couple of years, at least it gives you an idea of where you would like to stay.

As mentioned previously the best thing to do is put a search on all the sites here. We have taken one booking so far for 2007 which means these guests now know exactly what the cost will be.

Take the opportunity whilst you are on holiday this time to have a good look around and a think about the type of facilities you need. From the searches you do on these sites you will get a number of replies and I'm sure you will find the villa that exactly matches your requirements - especially if you book early.

In the meantime enjoy your forthcoming holiday in Orlando

Thanks everyone

We have a rental ar for one week whilst we are out there and do intend to get out of Disney and see some of what Orlando has to offer. We have also printed out a villa communities map so will probably go for a wander to some of the communities which we fancy staying at
