applying code after paying in full

[TwoRoos]

Today is our 45 day mark, and we paid the balance on our package. Before we paid, my travel agent checked (early yesterday morning) to see if we could apply the code to our reservation. She said there was no availability at our resort for our dates. I called back myself today to check and there still isn't anything. Here's my question...what happens if I keep checking and something does eventually open up? If we're able to apply a code and get a discount, will we have to pay a penalty for making a change after the 45 day mark? Also, what if I am the one who finds the opening and not my TA? I know I can't modify the reservation she made for me, so if I call and get a lucky break, what should/can I do to insure that my TA can get it applied to my reservation?

One more question that's not exactly related...when I called to check availability the CM had to get my name, address, phone number, etc. just to check the dates/resort I was interested in. Is this normal? Will I have to go through that each time I call to see if there is an opening? TIA for any help anyone can give me.

ONLY have your TA check for and apply the code and even then I believe you will pay the $50 change fee. Do not make one yourself.

Ask your TA to keep checking.

I just called Disney because our 45 day mark is coming up on Sunday. I paid the balance the other day and then received a statement not showing it. I just wanted to make sure they got it. I asked if there have been any more codes then what I used and she said no. I asked if I could keep looking for a code and she said yes that it would be a $50 fee to modify after it is paid in full. It never hurts to keep looking and hopfully the discount would be more than the $50.
