Hi all!

We just stayed 4 nights at the OKW and 4 nights at the YC. Word to the wise, when you book at a discounted rate make sure you keep that reservation in hand until the day you check out.

When we arrived at the OKW I asked the CM to make sure we were booked at the $189 rate and she said yes we were, what a great price. I said yeah, we got the 40% off postcard in Dec and had the reservation booked for a while. When we checked out the bill said $370 a night. Well, I threw away my reservation after check in, they had no record of the discounted rate and basically flat out called me a liar, that OKW would never discount that much. I called the reservation line and they said once you are checked in to a resort they can no longer access your reservation. I called Guest Relations who finally found my reservation and credited back my account, she was a very nasty person too. When we went back down to the check in/out area the manager apologized and said he was so sorry for the error.

I liked OKW but no way would I stay there at $370 a night, it was just like staying at the CBR or POR and those rates are a lot cheaper!

Also, if you valet your car PLEASE make sure to walk the car from head to toe when you arrive and depart, make a note of the mileage and what not. We valet the car at the YC and for 4 days did not move it. When we picked up the car there was a humongous dent on the drive door with blue paint scratches and the passenger seat was adjusted, why would that do that??? All the mirrors were adjusted too...just plain weird. After a very heated arguement with the manager they agreed to pay for the damage, DH refused to leave until they took care of it.
 
I'm a little confused. Doesn't the reservation have to be paid in advance of arrival? In that case it really wouldn't matter what it said on the bill.
Maybe I misread something???

I left my credit card when I checked in for charging to the room purposes. I had paidmy room in full when I booked it, not because you have to but because I wanted the points on my Dis Visa before we arrived.

The bill came the morning we checked out and they charged me $370 a night instead of the $189 and since they had my credit card they charged me the difference in what I originally paid in full.

The manager says that sometimes the discount code "falls off" when you check in.
 
You make a very good point. I read about the same thing recently on another Disney board. This one happened at the Polynesian.
 

That is scary since we booked with that pin code offer too. I will be sure to print everything out and take it with me. Thanks for the warning.

Isnt that just the way now a days? You have to watch every thing with eagle eyes to make sure you are not taken advantage of
 
Good points Nikki, I bet you were freaking out! By the way, I miss your pictures, are you doing a TR?

Well, my family really enjoyed your pictures! It was so nice of you to share them with us. I think I will take a page out of your book and share our food porn from our trip this November!
