Getaways Disappeared?!

[jaym Member Find all posts View Profile Close jaym]

I was browsing through II "Getaways" section yesterday and noticed that Manor Club original (MMC) weeks were virtually gone. There were only a few MSE (sequel) weeks shown in the section through October 2008.

Back in early February I found a ton of MMC "Getaway" weeks through November. As you would expect summer peak months were excluded from inventory. I reserved a week through II then, purchased a GC for my in-laws and they are heading down there late this month.

Question: Were the available II "Getaway" weeks completely sold out or does II remove this inventory for some reason? Is this normal activity for Getaway inventory?
I understand that summer weeks would likely never appear for either MMC or MSE but why are no getaways listed for MMC in off-peak periods before and after summer??
Appreciate any comments. thanks

Getaway space is normaly space II buys from the resort with intention for resale, or its space the developer gives II to sell. In the case of the latter the dev can withdraw space if needed. As far as MMC, if you look in the new book or online dir MMC is no longer listed. I think they are gonna phaze out both codes. Shame because i know allot of ppl who prefer MMC.

primo-
thanks for the response and info. I just checked and see that II online still has both MMC and MSE in the resort directory.
Did you see a single code that combines both resorts or do you know the II replacement code for MMC?
Are MMC weeks, off-peak period, shown under another identifier or no inventory?

Jaym you are right both codes are now listed on the II sight, about a month ago only mmc showed. There isn't any inventory right now avail at mmc. The price right now for the fall getaways are kinda steep, i remember last year they were selling 2bed mmc oct for 499. MMC=orig buildings with no lockoff. MSE=newer phaze with lockoff option. I have seen a few times in inventory 0bed and 1bed units at MMC, that and the code missing from the book I assumed they were gonna combine codes to make it easier.

Yes, that's what surprised me the most. When I setup the GC for my inlaws in early Feb., there was MMC inventory through Nov. 2008 or so.
I posted because I occasionally review inventory for MMC, I own 1wk. there. I was browsing for fall inventory there and elsewhere and was really surprised the "getaway" wks. were wiped out.
Getaway inventory seems kinda light right now so it may be a seasonal issue as travel plans are picking up this time of year.
