FD/30% off question

[HairyChest]

Im looking to book this nov or december however id like to wait to see discounts.
Can i book now and apply the discount when released so i wont miss out on room availability? Or do they actually cancel and rebook only if its available at the time?

Also, if i book free dining for a week at a certan resort, then want to lengthen or shorten my stay, do they cancel and rebook based on availability as well or just adjust the length

I want to make sure all my bases are covered. Thanks for your help guys!

I originally booked POR riverside before the 30% off special came out. After it came out, I just called And said I found it cheaper w/ a special. They applied it with no problem, so I ended up switching to Old Key West because of the special.

I know they can apply promo's- as for adding days, Im not so sure. Can't hurt to call and ask so you have a definite answer before you do book!

The specials are doled out based on occupancy. The more rooms booked the less likely they are to offer specials. FD has been offered in the slow season of September for several years and has been extended in the past 2 years but there is no certainty that free dining will be offered at anytime and even less likely that it will be offered in November or December.

I would go ahead and book your vacation for the time you want and if a special pops up call them. I have added days for free dining in the past and I did have to upgrade to a water view because the day I wanted to add did not have a garden view available. So yes they did have to cancel and rebook. For the FD promo the first day of your vacation must fall within the dates available. Also remember that not all resorts are always included in the specials. Just the ones with rooms that need to be filled.

You and add a discount to an existing package reservation or change dates or change resorts and you don't ever have to rebook - ever.

The only time you would ever have to rebook is if you have a room only reservation and are trying to apply a package discount like free dining - in that scenario you would have to cancel the room only reservation and rebook a package reservation.

They will apply any discount to your existing reservation. All you need to do is call them, no rebooking. Remember that for something like FD there are a limited number of rooms for the promotion. If there are none at your reserved resort, you may need to book elsewhere to get the promo.

As long as FD is offered on the first day of check in it will be valid your entire stay, even if you add days. Again, the catch is the room promotion is limited and must still be available when you add the days.
