ddp removed without a fee?..i hope you guys are following this..is it true that if my package shows i was buying it that they should discount it if they offer it while im there...like i said one post said that they would just credit it to my account...help me thanks in advance
If your main concern is availibility at POR... make a
room only reservation for the dates you want, and then call back to change it to a package that includes free dining,
if free dining is offered.
*Room only reservations - You can change or cancel your reservation without penalty up until 5 days prior to check-in. (6 days for online bookings.)
Even if you book a package now, I believe you still have to call and have the discount code for free dining applied, to your package. (Having a package with dining will not guarantee availibility, should they offer it.) There has to be availibility at your resort, for your dates... they only offer so many packages, and when they are gone, they're gone.
*Packages - You can change or cancel your reservation without penalty up until 45 days in advance. From 6 to 44 days in advance, there is a cancellation fee of $100. If you cancel 5 days or less in advance, you pay a $200 penalty.
Any changes that result in a rate change, such as applying a discount code, reducing number of days and/or changing to a differently-priced resort, made 45 days or less prior to arrival, are subject to a $50 fee.
If you want to secure your room, either way, you have to watch for free dining to be offered and call and have it applied.
