GTY ASSIGNMENT - ONE QUESTION

[doubleduty]

Just got my GTY cabin assigned. No upgrade, boo hoo. Question: Now that the cabin has been assigned, can it still be changed by Disney?

I have a GTY reservation as well, and I read somewhere that it "can" change up until the day of the cruise. I am guessing this is pretty uncommon though because I didn't see any accounts of people actually being moved. I'll be interested to see if anyone chimes in saying that they got switched at the last minute...

when is your cruise? I am waiting for mine, we are sailing in June. The last time we did this, we recieved it about 55 days out and it never changed.

Yes, it can be changed. Will it be? Usually not.

Sure they can. My guess is they only do so under unusual circumstances (for example, obviously, if a room became uninhabitable). I know of no published statistics showing what they historically do, so no one but Disney knows, it just seems like there haven't been posts over the years about people who had their room changed, so based on that very unscientific feeling my guess is you can almost certainly depend on that to be your stateroom. Research it and get excited! Hope you like the location.

That's because you have a vgt rate, not a gty assignment. Usually you will not find out your cabin assignment until around 10 days before your cruise.

Look at the top of the 1st page second post it will explain the difference between gty and vgt

I have heard of it happening. Hasn't happened to me yet, and I have done GTY 4 times. Just booked my 5th! Guess I love the gamble Have a great cruise!!

Yes, it can be changed. We had a room booked and selected months in advance of our last cruise and I noticed about 4 weeks before we went that the room number had changed. Wasn't thrilled about the new location (not an upgrade, just a lateral move) but it turned out to be fine. It actually ended up being closer to our friends than our original room. So even if you aren't GTY, you can still have the room changed. We also had our room booked and selected months in advance in 2010 and suddenly got upgraded to a 4A from a 5A. They can change your room for any reason at any time, no explanation.

Thanks for the info. We decided to go ahead and pay extra to upgrade to a specific cabin (with a navigator's verandah). We were originally in an 11C and were hoping for an upgrade with the GTY (did not happen, we were assigned an 11C cabin). Based on what I am reading, it seems unlikely we would get upgraded to anyhting much better between now and the cruise.
