I finally called and got the ressies for the WL! For months I was agonizing between staying at the WL or the Poly. WL won out because it is a bit cheaper, and we might go concierge.
The CM at CRO was WONDERFUL! Her name was Foster, I believe, we talked for a half an hour! She requested for me Bunk beds and put me at a higher room so that I can see the water pageant. We are getting a courtyard view. The only problem is I forgot to request an inside room. Is that what everyone said to get for the best view? Should I call back and request it?
This is the weird thing, and I didn't realize it until after I hung up. When the ressies were done, she says, ok, that will be sent to: my address. Thank you Cristen. Ok, I NEVER gave her my name or my address! How did she know that? I did give her my e-mail address for promos, is there any way she got info on me thru her database since I am registered through their web site? I just thought it was really weird.
She also asked me if I needed tickets, I told her I was still thinking of getting an AP. She says, OH! then you need to call back to see if the AP discounts apply to your room. I asked when do those normally come up for April? She says that it is random, and that she is not exactly sure, but that she is pretty sure they will be out, and to call back every other week just to be sure, because they sell out fast. So I will keeping my fingers crossed on the AP rate.
So I am set, and very excited. But can everyone assure me I made the right decision between the two hotels. I know WL is beautiful and I just watched it on the travel channel. But now I feel as thought I will be missing out on the Poly.
Oh, and can someone tell me the difference between the WL and the villas. I can get a studio at the villas for only 35.00 more a night and it has a fridge, microwave and a wet bar. It seems as thought I should have gotten the studio at the villas. Can someone tell me the pros and cons of them both. Thanks!
