Disney CM can't determine the difference between Sold Out and Not Yet Released.
I am maintaining that when it's released for booking online all these Sold Out resorts will suddenly have availability.
I'm actually just now joining the DISboards because of all this. I've been looking for the past 4 days at what's available for 10/15-10/21. Right now, I'm seeing CS, Contemp, PO (Riverside and FQ), WL, Poly, YC, BWI, and OKW are completely unavailable. That's unbelievable, though I guess not impossible?
So I chatted with a CM online and asked bluntly. Here's the log:

Hello, my name is Latrice, how may I assist you?

Hi Latrice! I have a question concerning booking from 10/16-21. So many of the resorts I'd like to book are saying there's no availability. Contemporary, POR, and Wilderness Lodge. Is it possible that these resorts have had rooms blocked off for Fall Room Only discounts and they just haven't been released yet?
Latrice at 10:38, Jun 16:
It is possible that is happening, we are expecting fall offers to be coming out very soon, so I'd definitely say to check back for those.

That sounds great! Thank you so much. It just seems so odd that all those resorts would be sold out you know? I'm actually an AP holder and hoping for the AP discount to be released. Is there any word of what date we could expect those discounts? Sorry to be too nosy
Latrice at 10:41, Jun 16:
I believe once the 2018 packages are released next week the passholder fall discounts and other special offers will follow.

Thank you so much! Had a feeling that might be the case. Well I greatly appreciate your help. It's been kind of confusing after all the website maintenance.
So it looks like we're best to be patient til June 20 :/
