Free upgrade to OKW or SSR, but no car??

[supercarrie]

How exciting for everyone who got the PIN! We are staying at SSR in Sept taking advantage of the discounted rates for UK residents and free dining.

I stayed at SSR in 2006 without a car and it was not a problem at all. The rooms are very comfortable and upscale without being stuffy and the grounds are so relaxing.

You really can't compare a value room to a DVC studio, let alone a 1 bedroom, so really celebrate this upgrade!

I picked Saratoga Springs, yes Free dining still applies AND I saved $2.94 so I can now buy a soda or something LOL The CM told me it would just go on my room credit at check in LOL Hrmmm PopCentury or Saratoga Springs at PC's price????? ...yep I love Disney!!!!!!!!!!

(she also asked if there was any celebrations that I wanted to add....I said "Yes, I want to celebrate that I just got a free upgrade! LOL)

Just got off the phone and upgrading from POP to SSR 1 bdrm (the pin said studio), and it was $5 cheaper!!!! I am so excited!!!

I just got off the phone and got the upgrade from Sports to a Key West studio, how did you get the 1-bedroom? And for some reason mine was cheaper too?!? I got a $34 credit?? I shouldn't complain about the 1 bedroom, I am just happy for the upgrade

grr... just got off the phone with Disney. The representative told me to upgrade with this pin I'd have to give up free dining. She wouldn't even check. And now I see others were able to on hold yet again.....

now i am getting excited and hoping and praying for some pixie dust too! we are taking family that has never been and probably will never be again to Disney in Sept. That would be an awesome surprise! We have 2 rooms at Sports.

We got the upgrade to a 1BR @ OKW. According to the CM, it was the last one bedroom available, so anyone calling after will be getting the studio.

We were able to keep the free dining.

I figure the upgrade was worth over $2400 based on the rack rates of the two rooms and tax.

yeah i just got off phone 20 min ago
got 1br ssr kept free dining and got a $60 dollar refund!!

 

[tommygirl79]

We got it too!!!! 7 nights/8 days with free dining originally at POP Century - now at Saratoga Springs - for only $1750. I just literally did a happy dance around the house when everything was confirmed with disney on the phone! Psyched beyond words! This is our last trip just the four us before baby #3 makes its appearance so we were cutting corners big time - this surprise is HUGE for us!

1000 square feet of space... that should be really nice.

(take care of my "home" while you're there...)

BOO HOO Boo Hoo!!!! No pin code for me. staying @ POP 9/29 to 10/4. Hey Disney, I'm a nice person. Been to Disney many, many times. Show your gratitude for my continued support!!

Congrats to those of you who got a code. You definately got a nice upgrade. Even though I'm not happy for me, I am happy for YOU.

OOOH no I hope that rep was wrong!!!!!

That rep was wrong!!! I have free dining & got the upgrade! The CM specifically said at the end of the phone call "you have a free upgrade from Sports to a studio at Key West for 4ppl, that INCLUDES your free dining" I would call back. This CM does not know what they are talking about!

Is there any specific reason everyone is receiving these emails with the free upgrades? I'm staying for 9 days in Oct/Nov, but haven't seen or heard anything like this. Do you have to be a Vacation Club member or something?

Although now I'm seeing a trend here, most everyone who got the upgrade was staying at a value resort, correct? I'm staying at a moderate already.

 

[Mommy2Jacob&Hannah]

just got off the phone with a much more helpful CM. Booked SSR and kept my free dining! I can't wait!

 

[Carolina Blair]

JackSkeleton-The email I got says for stays from 8/21-10/3

 

[Kat73]

Okay just got off the phone for the second time. I'm so excited!!! But, the first CM booked us at Saratoga without asking my preference or giving me a chance.... now OKW is completely booked for my dates. And, I've always secretly loved OKW and wanted to stay there.

BUT!!! hundred dollars cheaper than staying at Pop Century and I get to stay at a NICE new deluxe resort with a better pool maybe and a fridge YAY!!!

Now someone go cancel their studio at OKW for the week of the 14th of September so I can switch to that one

The CM I worked with said they are having a hard time booking mods.

I got the code too I cant believe it, nothing like this has ever happened to us before, and after the year we have had this was a real blessing I picked OKW because of the 2 queen beds but if it would have been booked I would have happily taken SSR

 

[glitzybabes]

I got it too!!! I'm on hold. Wait time said 14 mins and it has been about 8 mins. I'm so excited. I hope they don't book up. Hoping for SSR!!!
