is it worth the extra-club level at universal hotel?????

[disney_princess_85]

Yes but I phoned to enquire first and then I booked on loewes site direct. Universal studios site us is the same.

I've just done a dummy booking on the Loews site and it said the whole amount was required. I thought it was because it's not long until I go but I can see from your signature that you're going around the same time! Am I missing something?

Hmm, didn't know you could pay a deposit. Do you have to call them to do this?

When I booked our RPR stay direct through Loews, I apid a deposit that equated to 1 nights' room cost plus tax. I thought that was standard

I thought there was an option to pay less than the full amount. I don't see why they would call it a 'deposit' if you're paying the full amount upfront. When I've paid a deposit for other stuff, it's always been a percentage of the full price.

Oh well!

Just checked my email and bank account and they have taken one night deposit the rest goes out 5 days before we go
When are you going?

I suppose, unless you're only staying one night, it is a proportion of the full amount We are staying 5 nights so, in essence, we've apaid a 20% deposit. It's fully refundable anyway, if we cancel within the allotted timescale.

We're only staying one night, hence the confusion! I was hoping there was a way to reserve the room but delay the full payment, as I'm dying to book it but can't afford it right now (final payment to Disney is coming out shortly! ).

Can you not put it on a credit card? I always do this with our DVC dues - if I put it on the card the day the statement is issued, I can usually get up to 2 months to pay

Out of interest, what date are you looking to book?

I don't have credit card (I wouldn't trust myself! ).

I'm planning on booking September 1-2. What dates are you there?

Thanks but I'm booking Club Level. I'm not bothered about the cost, I'll pay it next month. As I said a bit further up, I just wanted to know if there was a way I could reserve a room for a small deposit.

When are you going?

You pay the rest of your stay either at checkin or if you leave a CC for room charging, at Checkout ,which is what i usually do. The 5 days before arrival is the date you can cancel with a full refund

 

[disney_princess_85]

Crabbie, just out of interest I had a look on Expedia/Hotels.com but the price for one night is £150+ (even more for a water view room). If I could pay just over £100 for a room, I probably would- I'm not sure an extra £150 for Club Level can be justified. We could have a really nice meal with that money!

My Mistake sorry you have to stay 5 or more nights I think. If I find anywhere will let you know. Let me know what you think of club level (if I havent ungraded by then)

Thanks Robert for that.It can stay in my account a bit longer.
