Did you "upgrade" anything b/c of the deal?

[Cloudless Nights]

We were originally booked at CBR with a standard view, but we upgraded to BC standard view and still saved approximately $200!

I tried to upgrade to CL at AKL, but as of right now there are no rooms available under the promo. We will keep checking, but otherwise we stayed with our savannah view and saved about $1,000.

WhoooHooooo!!!!!!! I was originally disappointed that I was not going to be able to enjoy all 7 days because I already had my airfare booked and it would have been $300. to change all three of our flights to the next day. So I only booked 6 days on my package at Pop. When I was checking on my flights the other day I realized that they had changed our seats on our flight coming home. They had changed the plane to a smaller one, we had row 40, and this plane only went to row 38. So it finally hits me 2 days later, don't they have to waive the change fee if they change your flight? So I called this morning and they were able to change the flight to the next day!!!! The only thing is Pop is sold out for that extra day so I will have to add aroom only. The only room only I can find is at CS and it is $168. Good thing I got the 7 day tickets instead of the 6!!!

I voted "other."

DH has a BIG birthday in March and he wanted to go to WDW to celebrate. I have no problem with that. :-D

We've been to POR before; it's one of our favorites! We've always dreamed of GF, but it seems like it's just a bit too far out of reach for us, still. So I've been researching and thinking about upgrading to BC or BW. I waited for a "deal" before booking, and we had layoffs in our office just last week. Things at work are still "Level: Cautious!" So I really didn't want to push the limits... just in case. So while I priced BC and would have saved quite a bit over the non-"deal" price, I'm playing it safer by booking POR.

I said yes
I say we upgraded, some may say we downgraded.

We were booked at WL CL w/dining for 6 nights, the 4/3 deal couldn't be applied to our room, so we could pay full price or change it. We switched to 6 nights, garden view at the Poly w/dining and saved over $800 not including the $200 gift card So technincally we're saving over $1000 by staying at the Poly We're super excited

We upgraded from pofq to AKL. This was a great opportunity to try a deluxe resort. I was so excited to tell my DS6. He was just as excited to hear the good news. I didn't save much after that but who cares we are goin deluxe baby!!

 

[collcass]

we downgraded in order to upgrade.

We moved from 2 rooms @ CSR (5/9-5/16) to 2 rooms @ POP (3/26-4/2) and added 3 nights at CR

With the $200 (x2) GC, we still come out ahead

 

[SGB13]

We gave up a 1 bedroom suite at the CR which was not covered in the plan for 2 garden view rooms at the GF. Plus we went from 6 nights to 7. And saved $4250, even with the change in airfare. We love the CR, but I could not justify spending that much more. (We have the DxDP too.) Can't wait to go!

 

[Brer Shay]

We took the 7 for 4 deal and lengthened our trip from 5 nights to 7. It also bumped up our timeframe to go.

 

[Magic2000]

We upgraded!!! Originally, we were going to stay 4 nights at Yacht Club and 6 nights at Dolphin.

With the 7/4 deal, we have 7 nights at Yacht Club, and 7 nights at Wilderness Lodge!!!

I'm going to try to (partially) surprise my DD - if I can hold out! She's really excited to be going to Yacht Club for 4 nights - she doesn't know that we'll be there for 7 nights!! She can't wait to try SAB! And, at WL, I booked a courtyard bunk bed room! She'll be so excited!!!!

Now if only I can keep the secret!!!

We added Deluxe dining because we saved money with our package

 

[sissyfromcab]

DH is a teacher, so the dates that we can go are limited, but he gets a 2 week break in March and October.
We were planning to go in Oct for 5 nights, but are now going for 7 nights in March for the same price (before the gift card)! DH has only been on a HS band trip and I have been 3 times, but never for 7 days and I am super excited!

 

[disneymagicgirl]

Right now i'm sticking with a mod...but REALLY want to try Poly....there is no way i'd be able to afford/justify it otherwise! I am going to wait and see...may add the upgrade closer to trip time!

I did add an extra night and day though! That will be better w/ a baby!

 

[raven0855]

We were originally staying at POP from 1/28--2/1/09. After the new deal came out I wanted to take advantage of it so I did some scouring of things to figure out how to make it work.

Ended up adding one night. Literally we will arrive at 11pm on 1/27 now. Charge to change airfair was $200. With the GC I figured it was a wash but we would then get the whole day on the 28th rather then a half day.

So it in the end seems to work for me!

 

[cncsmom45]

I'm sorry-I'm new to these boards. I'm heading to Disney this Saturday and was wondering what this "deal" is that everyone is talking about. Thanks!

 

[SherriLynn44]

We upgraded from All-Star Sports to Port Orleans French Quarter and also added an extra night.

Our first trip in 15 years and 1st trip staying on-site . We were going anyway and already booked at POR thru AAA but upgraded to YC plus upgraded our tickets from 5 days to 7, which I'm soooooo happy about. It's costing more money (From $2950 to $3,650) but oooh Deluxe - I never thought I'd be able to afford it. We're 5 so I was worried about POR being crowded. I thought about Poly because of the bigger rooms and the monorail, but it was $200 more and I've heard the YC pool is waaay better (which is what my kids care about). I really wanted BC because of the recent refurb but they were all booked so I've got to keep checking back.
