a little info needed on the room only offer...

[WDWPooh]

I currently have a package booked at AKL. With the room only offer I am considering going to the Poly. While playing around with the room only offers that are currently avail this yaer on the site, I noticed you can add tix and dining. Wouldnt that technically turn it into a package? If I do this can I just switch everything over to the new offer and keep paying as usual? I really dont want to have all the money I have paid refunded and then have to pay off the big balance when I get there. I hope this makes sense lol

I had booked for my 2011 trip and then wanted to use an offer they later released. They booked me with the new offer to make sure I could get it first, since they are limited, and then they cancelled the old reservation. The money I had already paid was refunded to my credit card and then charged back to the new reservation right away. Hope that helps.

Yes, I think you can do this. Our last visit was a visa room discount and we added tix and dining and it was a package paid before we arrived.

As long as you keep it as a package and the Poly is available with the new discount, your current reservation can easily be modified to reflect the new discount and change to the Poly, with the discount being on the room portion only. If you get a CM that says your original ressie has to be cancelled, I would hang up and call back as the only time a reservation has to be cancelled/refunded and then rebooked is when you go from a room only to a package or a package to room only. If, however, you no longer want the package and want just the room, then you package will have to be cancelled/refunded and room only booked. This will require a new deposit equal to one night's room rate + tax, as money paid toward one cannot be transferred to the other. Good luck.

thank you!
I am just so used to just calling and adding a discount. Never have dealt with room only before.
