Hotel Reservations - Online versus over the phone

[JMNogueira]

Hello There,

We will be staying at Pop from Feb 1-8. My family wants to add two more nights to the reservation but unfortunately online it looks like it’s all booked. I have been checking constantly to make sure nothing comes up! Do CMs see anything different to us over the phone? Should I be calling in as well?

Thanks for your help! I’m a newbie!

Certainly won't hurt to call, you might also want to check some of the on line sites like Orbitz, Travelocity and Undercover Tourist. They get blocks.

I would agree, doesn’t hurt to call. That being said, I recently had the same problem in needing a couple more nights. I ended up changing from ASMo to Pop in order to get my dates. I found whenever I called it was the same inventory as online.

I’m still watching all the rooms more out of curiosity than anything, what days are you needing to add? If I see anything I’ll let ya know!

Aww thank you! That is so nice! We are looking to add Feb 8-10!

I’ll watch out for ya!

Just took a look though... it’s slim pickings right now. Yikes. 8-10 only thing available at all is a family suite at AoA.

Have you checked out the Disney Springs Hotels as a back up plan for the last 2 nights? I originally had B resort booked as a backup until I found a different value.

Yeah everything seems to be booked! A coronodo springs reservation came up for $180 a night so I took that for now and will keep an eye out for Pop but it’s not looking good for us!

I did see the Coronado Springs one also, I was hoping you seen that one. Hopefully you find something in pop! I’ll still keep my eye out still

I have found that if I see something online, it is better to go ahead and get it. A random room can disappear while the phone CM is getting all my info, etc. Much quicker for me to do it myself.
