Our family vacation.

How and why are they charging you to reschedule? That’s the first I’ve seen of anyone having to pay more to reschedule because of this.

If you re-schedule to a more expensive time, I'd assume you'll be charged the extra.

I'm guessing the room rates are higher on the new dates.

So you’re telling me that Disney is not doing a thing about pricing when people are being forced to reschedule?

OP, if that is the case try and get a hotel with a less expensive rate for the new nights you are going.

 

[VroomVroomLightning]

They aren’t charging you an extra $1,000 just for changing. The new dates you picked are at a higher rate for the room or you may have been booked with a discount that won’t be available for your new dates.

 

[sponica]

Rebook to the new dates and see if a discount gets published for those new dates?

It seems like they honored pricing/discounts during the hurricanes

 

[jbehr12]

They honored pricing during the hurricane, but their pricing wasn’t insane like now

Insane or not, they should honor the original pricing. Absolutely blows my mind that they are not, I feel like there is some missing info here.

My trip is April 1st so I’m monitoring this stuff like a freakin’ hawk lol

I know during the hurricane they honored FD for me and moved to dates *outside* of the promotion. The price also did not increase

I know DCL hasn't been honoring opening day pricing on reschedules. It'd surprise me if the resort respected a March rate during a higher period.

Just cancel and get your money back. Re-book once they drop the rates. Rates will drop.

I'm not telling you anything. I'm going with common sense and previous policies. They aren't being charged $1000 more to reschedule, the dates they've picked to reschedule are more than likely higher-priced.

So sorry for your loss and then having to reschedule your vacation. That's quite a double-whammy!

I'm guessing maybe there aren't any discounts available yet for your new dates. I'd wait it out a bit, hoping a discount comes along. But also consider some other options: changing your resort, drop hoppers if you have them, reduce the number of days (either in the park or overall), drop the dining plan as you may be able to do some other cost-saving dining.

Good luck with the reschedule and enjoy your vacation!

 

[crisi]

And those discounts will be coming.

I think this is worth the shot.

Yup, we’re aware.

Maybe call and ask to speak with guest services in a couple days. See if someone can honor the price of your original reservation, provided that your resort/length of stay/etc is all the same.
