Hello
I think everyone who books through the Disney Club gets this freebie, which is nice.
I didn't book through the Disney Club, though.
Like you I have access to those great AP rates, and I didn't want to be locked in with a Disney Club reservation.
They treat any Disney Club reservation like a package, and cancellation restrictions are much tighter. You will lose money if you have to cancel within a month or so before your trip.
However, if you book through CRO and tell them you don't want to use your Disney Club for the room, then you can cancel up to 5 days before the trip with no penalty.
I like that security, just in case something comes up (like an illness or situation at work) and I have to change the dates.
However, the freebie would be nice. If you use it, write back and let me know all the neat things about those areas of the park. I've never visited either, and I'm curious!
Thanks a bunch!
