CAn you apply a room only discount code AFTER booking a room?

[riu girl]

I am pretty sure of my dates so I would like to go ahead and book our next WDW holiday. But I am hoping not to pay rack rate.

Can anyone tell me: Can I book at rack rate and then apply a room only discount code to my booking later (if a code becomes available for my dates)?

Has anyone had any success doing this??

Any tips would be appreciated.

Sure, you can do this. I've done it several times. If discounted rooms are available, they will let you change the reservation. No problem. I have a room reserved using our AAA discount and I'm hoping further discounts will become available and I'll be able to change our ressie too.

Yes, I use Dreams Unlimited, they do the checking I don't have to worry. Once I read about some freaky code a person got from the boards, everyone else was calling trying to get it no luck. I emailed Cathy, ate dinner, rechecked my email and she had gotten the code. It was great!

When using DU (booking room only), do you only have to pay for one night of your ressie as the deposit and do you also have 5 days prior to your hoiday to cancel. Or aer their booking terms different then booking with CRO? If the same, I think we will use tem next time as well.

Thanks

If there are rooms available. Remember that when you book at rack rate, that room is sold and cuts down on the number of rooms Disney needs to discount.

Susy makes an excellent point.

The whole reason to discount rooms iis to make sure that they are occupied.

If there are a lot of rooms booked at rack, very few, if any will be discounted.
