If upgrade offered from Port Orleans

[Mimi151]

I’ll be booking at Port Orleans. If an upgrade is offered (paid or complimentary), where is the most likely place they would offer? Has anyone gotten an upgrade offer from port Orleans to another resort?

Also if traveling with a group (we’ll have 3 studios) would they let all upgrade to the same hotel so we stayed together?

Is everyone on the same reservation or is it three reservations? The likelihood of being moved together is greater if everyone is on one reservation.

Reading the refurbishment note for POR, I would not expect that they will need to move people around. I haven’t seen any posts mentioning being moved (but I haven’t read every post on the DIS). With the separate buildings it is easier to isolate the renovation to one or two buildings at a time, and they will adjust the available inventory so they shouldn’t overbook. If there is availability at POFQ they would probably move there first, and then perhaps to CSR or CBR. But I would plan on not being moved unless there are suddenly a lot of reports that this is happening.

Yeah… I’d let that hope go. Book where you want to stay on your budget. Been a bit since we had a post about an upgrade offer. Even when we had them I don’t recall POR being a big one, they gravitated more towards values and even then it usually wasn’t a great deal vs the normal public offer.

Thanks. I am actually curious what moderate might be considered an upgrade to Port Orleans… What is considered the best moderate? We have a DVC but are short points for a family stay so I was looking at cash options. Or if (for instance) there were a lot of people saying they upgraded to a specific Deluxe a lot (I understand at a cost, but was thinking it might be less than outright booking thru WDW), where that would be. Hope that makes sense.

I’d just book it if you can. The refurbs aren’t that intrusive…

There are no studios at PO. The only upgrades I’ve read about lately have been just to the public discount at another resort, nothing due to construction, inventory, etc. Disney has gotten a lot better at planning & announcing resort renovations, so seem to have less need to move guests around.

To your other question… all moderates are considered equal. The only possible exception might be club level at Coronado. I’ve never read any reports report of anyone being offered a complimentary move to there.

As for “the best”, like any other resort category, everyone has their own opinions & favorites. You’ll get every resort named as best, depending on who’s answering.
