Can I book a room now and then apply a code later?

or should I wait until the codes come out before booking it. I'm worried that once I book a room that I won't be able to use a code too. We are going on a Disney Cruise and wanted to spend just a couple of nights at a WDW resort before the cruise. We are looking at either the Boardwalk Resort or Animal Kingdom Lodge. Would we need to reserve early for these resorts?

TIA!

Yep- you can book your room now and then apply codes later if they come out for your dates!

I have a similar question.....

We are planning a trip for July 2005 to go to the Poly for 7 nights. We want to book in advance, just beacuse we are the "planning guru's" and my question is this: for the past 2 years disney has run 5 plus 2 promotions for the summer months, if I book the trip now and then disney comes out in may with book 5 nights get 2 for free, can I apply that to my reservation???

They will only apply a code or AP discount to an existing reservation if there is discount availability for your dates/resort. When the codes come out, they check your dates/resort and if it shows no discount rooms, they will not apply the discount to your existing reservation. Having a room already booked does not give you an advantage when we it comes to getting a discount, it may actually hurt because their computers show the hotel is more fully booked already.
