    Anyone who changes plans if rack rate is only option? Update

    Its me...the OP again... Update: We changed our reservation (removed WL portion) and we will stay the entire time at AKL. We were able to apply the newly released discounts to part of our reservation and saved $600 total! :cool1:

    Anyone who changes plans if rack rate is only option? Update

    Ditto, Ditto! We've always been able to get some discount on our rooms at Disneyland and WDW. I guess because we have two rooms booked -- I'm just feeling even more how expensive this family trip has become! The hotel is such a big part of our vacation.

    Anyone who changes plans if rack rate is only option? Update

    Sorry, I misinterpreted what you meant by willing to pay. That's probably a more accurate way to describe why I posted to begin with. I'm just second guessing - since we normally don't pay rack rate for any hotel. Usually we're able to book with an AAA or a loyality rate. We didn't even pay...

    OP here...POR is our 1st choice for a moderate. I've stayed at POFQ and CBR on previous trips and I really liked POR when we walked over there while we staying at POFQ. Thanks for your feedback!

    Anyone who changes plans if rack rate is only option? Update

    OP here...We can't shorten our stay, flights have been booked and we're flying from CA. We booked knowing that we could 'afford it'...but, I was feeling a bit of buyers remorse, since it goes against my instinct to pay rack-rates for any hotel, even Disney! Thanks for your feedback!

    Anyone who changes plans if rack rate is only option? Update

    OP here...I would consider Swan for sure. We do have a car, so I'd need to pay extra for parking, correct? We can't change our dates -- we've booked flights and are flying from CA.

    Anyone who changes plans if rack rate is only option? Update

    It looks like it will be a miracle if any discounts will be released for my travel dates (Nov. 17-24). Currently, we have rack rate reservations at AKL for 5 nights and at WL for 3 nights. We have 2 rooms booked (since we are 5 adults who want our space). We will keep the AKL reservation...

    Can't decide- upgrade from moderate to deluxe?

    Hi, You sound like me and my planning style (I tend to overthink a bit too). In this case I think you should be glad you're 'over-thinking' and take a second look at other options. I've stayed at AKL, BC, CBR and PORFQ. I stayed at CBR on a girls trip with my mom & sister - I didn't care for...

    Another WWYD question...

    Thanks for all of the feedback! We had a family vote & WL is the one! I think the theming and proximity to MK are the most important to us for this trip. OKW looks beautiful - maybe we'll get there on a future trip. This trip is pretty 'last minute' - due to the fact we are trying to travel...

    Another WWYD question...

    Its $116 total savings...not per night. We will be there for 5 nights. We plan on doing MK for sure -- we will have hopper passes.

    Another WWYD question...

    We will have a car (minivan). We probably won't spend too much time at the resort/or in the room, since we're pretty commando-type people at WDW! We will be visiting during the week leading into Thanksgiving (flying home on Thanksgiving). I think the Xmas decorations are probably better at WL...

    Another WWYD question...

    Hi, Currently, we have 2 rooms Standard view at WL booked. We have 5 adults in our party (me, DH, 2 sons & son's fiance). We can change our reservation to a 2 bedroom OKW villa for $116 less. I'm leaning towards changing...WWYD? TIA!

    Advice needed: Renting points with a spilt stay

    Thank you for checking the availability for me -- that was so nice of you! I knew when we started our planning it might be too late to get our top picks -- especially since its the week leading into Thanksgiving. We are going back to WDW as a family after 15 years since our first trip back in...
