shellybaxter said:What about Expedia?? You have to pay in advance and there is no refund policy if you have to cancel, because they have discounted rooms. I have a room at the Grand Flordian booked with best rate in December. I only had to put down a one night non-refundable deposit. The rate available through expedia is higher and I would have to pay in full at the time of booking.
Disney still has a pretty liberal cancellation policy for non-discounted rooms, or even rooms with small discounts (like AAA).

If one books a cruise there is also a non refundable deposit after a certain time frame. If you think you may want to cancel your room then book a room only at AAA discount or rack rates.
Disney has given great discounts to AP holders for the past few years. After 9/11 attendance really dropped and they encouraged Fl. residents and AP holders to come more often even for shorter stays and deep discounts.
I never even knew about the discounted rates for AP holders until I started reading these boards while planning my upcoming trip this year. I did know about annual passes but since I do not go to Disney more than once a year I never even considered buying one. Disney sells an AP as a one year pass so you can visit the parks as often as you want. Discounts were never guaranteed.
Watch for their off season specials. 7 nights for the price of 4. 7 nights for the price of 5 or free dining if you do not like the BR plan with the non refundable deposit. Welcome to my world.
