Free Deluxe resort upgrade

[SpiderWiz]

Hello All,

My first post but have been a lurker for awhile. I was looking forward to my stay at the end of the month at ASM (All Star Movie). However, yesterday I got email offering upgrade to a Deluxe resort for free. I know at least 2 other families that got the free upgrade. We are now staying at Boardwalk Inn.

Just wondering if other got this offer. It was a pin email. To me, a upgrade from value to deluxe is big deal. Big money savings.

CONGRATS!!!!!!

What an upgrade!!!!!

This happens every so often when they overbook a resort (generally a value) and there are vacancies at a deluxe. They assume that there will be a certain percentage of cancellations over any given period when booking, and if those cancellations don't come through, they have to move people around and honor those reservations.

Congratulations on the upgrade!

That is awesome ! We ran into something similar in March 2009 when we booked the "new" Pirate Rooms at the CBR. I got a call from "the Mouse" 4 days before we were to arrive and got a free upgrade to Poly. The refurbs to the Pirate Theme were not all done, but we gladly took the move to Poly and ended up w/ a water view as well.

Have FUN !

My parents got it as well! Their travel agent just switched them to Yacht Club.

Their choices were Yacht, Beach, Boardwalk and Polynesian.
