Are they offering free dining then? Were you looking for a discounted room? They might just be out of rooms set aside for a specific special.

In the old days, September was a slow, off peak time.

In my opinion, the theme park population has learned this and now September is no longer a slow time.

Not sold out via the UK site, I've tried several dates.

But this depends on several things, like the actual dates and durations and whether certain resorts and/or room types are not currently being offered in some regions or to some agents, or not participating in the current offer/discount, or having a maximum number of rooms in this particular offer which has now sold out. I fall foul of this a lot in the UK, for example no All Stars currently available for any time in April or May next year that I can find, I'm pretty sure they won't be sold out.

I just looked at Pop for mid-Sept (the 11th-18th) and there was availability. Maybe the offer you chose is gone. What dates are you looking at?

I see you're from LaX. Grew up not too far from there and still have family in the area.

Try using the website to book instead of calling.

September really isn't a slow month anymore.
It will definitely be busy until after Labor Day.
And with all the MNSSHP's, F&W having gained in popularity, people just in general shifting from summer to fall trips its become more popular.
August is the new "slow".

Dis has been and will remain the place to vacation, despite the economy, the Uni build or a political admin. All the low crowd time of years were changed when people started booking those dates to avoid crowds. Enough parents are willing to take kids out of school temporarily to go. And looking for travel deals when flights may be lower, off season rates for hotels or travel costs are decreased.
As long as you stay away from the most crowded holiday season weeks and school vacation dates you will find at least some lesser crowds. But there is no real off season any more.

July and August are the slow months now due to the heat.

Just did a little checking around for the last two weeks in September, and I don't see any for Pop for those two weeks (for a full week stay). However, there are plenty at the All Star Resorts.

Also, the website does say that the Pop is undergoing renovations on the rooms and lobby at that time. So that may be affecting the availability.
