CRO/WDTC experts - Help!

[Sally Bradley]

After all my determination to make my res thru CRO, I'm wondering if I ended up at WDTC ANYWAY!!!!

I got my res confirmation about 2 wks ago and sent in the deposit...then I started wondering and looked more closely at my res. They seem to be a mix of what I've read are the differences on Deb Wills site.

Here's what they say:

GF 4 nite AAA Room Only Package. Deposit due was one nite's stay ($321...room plus tax) with the remainder due 21 days before I'm set to arrive.

My res is a 12 digit no.
(I also have 3 nites at the AKL which is the same setup.

On the back the cancellation policy says I get a full refund if I cancel up to 5 days prior to arrival.

SO.....I'm confused on the package issue. Is it a WDTC package or a CRO package...and how did I end up with it when I didnt get any tickets? And what are the disadvantages...should I call and
change them??

BTW...the res does appear to be "for room only" since there are no added fees on there.

Thanks for any help!

I think that it is a CRO reservation, especially since it has a 12 digit reservation #. We had the same situation where it said that the remainder of the balance was due 21 days prior to our arrival. But actually, it was due at check-in and we still had the 5 day cancellation policy.

It's a CRO package. Yes, they book packages too. The terms are slightly different from regular CRO room only reservations as you noticed.

You got it as a package because that's what Disney treats all AAA reservations as. It looks to me that what you described fits exactly with the CRO Package info on http://wdwig.com/resort.htm:

Deposit: one night's room rate plus tax
Deposit due: in 14 days
Balance Due: 21 days prior to check-in
Cancellation fee: one night's fee less than 6 days prior to arrival
Changes/Modifications: no charge anytime
