Book online, add requests later by phone?

[Aisling]

Ok, so now that I have all my ducks in a row, I'm having a hard time waiting until tomorrow to book my Hard Rock reservation over the phone. I want to do it at the Universal Orlando website right now.

My question is, if I do it now online, would I still be able to call tomorrow and add my Loews #, my AAA info, and a room request? Or is my reservation basically locked since I'd be making it initially online?

I'm not exactly a UO newbie; we've stayed onsite twice before a few years ago, but back then I wasn't such a planner. Now, every detail matters, for the fun of it, of course.

Hope someone can help with my questions, so that I can book ASAP!

Hey, fancy meeting you here!

Book online now. You can add your loews # to the reservation but you cant get the AAA rate on the loews website. You can book it on the AAA website though. You could put a room request in the comments field. If you do decide to do it this way you can always call with your res# to add whatever info you like at a later date, anytime.

Did you originally get a AAA rate by calling? You can call now, it isnt too late if you wanted. Thats an option.

Hey, fancy meeting you here!

I was actually hoping you'd come by!

Another question pleeeeeeeeeease...

Both the Universal and AAA websites have the same rate, which is $439 a night. Does that basically mean there's no AAA discount for that time?
At the UO site, their price came up SEASONAL RATE
Room only rate, not combinable with other offers .
I didn't put any AAA info in. So it looks like it doesn't matter where I book through?? I know I'm pathetic, but thank you for your patience!

i avoid booking on websites.

i always call UO direct. that way i can find out what promo specials they have going on for the time period i want to stay.

it's a personnel choice. some rather never use the phone to book ressies and prefer doing it all on line.

Since I'm just as pathetic about issues like this, I didnt notice!
Yes, it means one of two things. Either the AAA rate just isnt out yet or there isnt/wont be one due to the Holiday. In any event you can book now and check it every so often. If the AAA rate becomes available give them a call and they will change it for you and there is no booking fee to do so.

In this case I would book it using the Loews website and get your info on the reservation (loews # and requests).

BTW - I'm thinking you will see a AAA rate offered for those dates as the time gets closer but they will be limited.

I always call, too. I'd rather talk to a person in person LOL. But the problem is waiting until tomorrow when the Universal reservations office opens. I'm an instant gratification kind of girl, unfortunately. When I want something, I want it yesterday. I'm not a narcissistic brat, just an excitable , emotional woman who wants to get my vacay started. I tell all my friends, I'm not into jewelry, fashion (well, maybe shoes are my only splurge), I don't gamble, I don't buy expensive dustcollectors for my home, so all I have as a hobby is obsessively planing trips. It truly makes me happy.

I absolutely cry over WDW, it touches my heart, my soul, I relive my wonderful childhood memories. Disney saved me from depression. And Universal makes my blood pump hard in my chest, in my veins. I'm a princess at Disney, and I love that. At Universal, I'm looking to tangle with the Green Goblin, who once took hold of my ponytail and wouldn't let it go! I absolutely love both places, for different reasons. Disney is my lover full of sparkles and fantasy; Universal is my one-night's stand full of excitement.

And so, I'll see how long I can hold out and wait to call tomorrow. I don't think I'll make it.

About the possible promos being offered, if I book online, just to get it done, can I call tomorrow and ask about the promos, and then have them applied to the ressie? Since it's Christmas week, I don't see any promos, although they may have some unwritten ones that only the TMs know when you call.
I think I'm just going to do it online, and call tomorrow to fine tune my ressie.

I'm learning so much here,

Again, thank you very much. I'm going to book right now, through Loews, and then as you suggested, watch for AAA rates to come out. Here I go; wish me luck!
