BRP Newbie Needs Your Help!!!

[married2grumpy]

We are current AP holders and have no clue what this BRP is all about. Our last AP trip in August 05 we booked ourselves by calling CRO.

Here's my question/dilemma: We are taking a DCL cruise 5/6-5/13/06. We would like to extend our trip to include 4 nights in WDW. Do I have to book on the AP site before the 60 day mark? How do I know if I will get a good rate? We would like to stay at a deluxe that sleeps 5 BUT want to get the one with the best rate. I will not know this until the actual rates are released. If I book a certain deluxe now on the BRP but then find out there is another deluxe priced cheaper for our stay, can I switch resorts?

I liked the old AP booking system because we are the types who make our resort selections usually last minute. As long as our flight is booked, we usually just wait to see which resorts are available at the AP rates and choose based on price. Seems this can't be done anymore.

What about booking through DU for an AP rate rather than the BRP. Can this be done?

Thanks for any info you can give!

Okay, the BRP rates are not available for May right now, but you can go and see what the full prices would be at the resorts that interest you on the website.

When you go to book, you pick your resort or category and they will provide you with the ones that are available and what price you will pay. I know when I booked for Nov, the Yacht Club was not available, but the Beach Club was, so you would get to see what is available. You can also price out other resorts like WL or AKL and see what their prices are or if they are available before you actually finish the booking. This way you will know the prices of all your choices and then decide which one you want to choose.

I believe DU would be able to assist you in booking the rooms or you can call yourself between 2 and 5 PM.

Hope this answers some questions for you!
