I'm in need of assistance!!!
This is my first time ever booking a Disney vacation...my parents have always done it...and never ever this far in advance (usually it's about 2 months in advance, at most).
So I was looking at AoA ressies, which go up to December 2013 currently. We are needing to book for April 2014, for our honeymoon. The nights we book will probably be April 6th-10th, but it depends on if we choose the April 10th cruise on the Dream or the April 6th one.
Anyway, I was "chatting" with an online Disney customer service rep and asked how I go about making reservations for this time...she said:
"Currently you are able to book a non-guaranteed room rate for 2014 so secure your room. When the rates are released you will be able to rebook to a package reservation. To book a non-guaranteed room rate you will need to give the Disney Reservation Center a quick phone call at 407-560-CHAT (2428) and a specially trained agent would be happy to assist you."
Can someone dumb this down for me, a Disney-ressie dummy? I'm confused as to how this process goes this early in the game. What exactly is a non-guaranteed room rate and what does she mean by "rebook to a package reservation"? I'm pretty sure we won't be wanting a package reservation as we will only be there for a few days before our Disney cruise...
