Complimentary upgrade frim value upwards!

Then why did you ask????? If you did, then you are "hoping" at least for an upgrade.

They happen due to overbooking at one level, a refurbishment that went over schedule, a maintenance issue or if a room assigner notes a special occasion on a resort reservation. These are all items beyond your control and no reason to wonder why it happens.

I'm one who always pays for at least what I expect but always hoping that Disney were to surprise me and say, "goofy4prez, instead of a WL cl room we have a GF Royal Palm Club room for you. There's nothing wrong with hoping.

Maybe she just asked out of curiosity? People who are new to this board ask questions because they get knowledgable answers from people w.past experience. There's no reason to try & understand what her mindset is.
Of course unpaid upgrades are rare-but it's still nice to hear about them, & in the case of the 2 ppl who they "upgraded" to SSR, they both felt it wasn't an upgrade..that's good information for me, having never stayed there.

We toured SSR when we were looking into DVC on another trip. We did not like it at all. I mean it was pretty, but not our style at all when it comes to WDW. It was so spread out and just so disjointed from all the excitement. I guess if Downtown Disney is your thing it would be a good fit. One afternoon at DTD is enough for me.

A couple of weeks ago I asked people to post number of stays and number of upgrades

I stopped tallying after a while but it seemed like in this very unscientific survey, board members were upgraded about 9.7% of the time

I did not break it down to level or type of upgrade. I assume most were minor (SV to WV)

We love SSR. I truly don't understand the hate for it. So much better than any value resort out there IMO !

Never been upgraded but its very rare especially for dvc
