Thanks to whoever at Disney wised up and changed this!! I'm so excited. Maybe I can fit in a quickie trip for the everest preivew if I can get off work and find some cheap airfare
I still can't get in to the passholders' website but mousesavers is stating that there is a different cancellation period for phone bookings vs. online bookings. If you booked over the phone, there is no penalty to change/cancel your reservation if you do so more than 5 days before check-in. If you booked online, you must change/cancel at least 46 days before check-in to avoid cancellation fees.
Given that we've been hearing Disney wants to cut costs by having people book online rather than calling CRO, that's a major disincentive!
As of last month, we were told that the online booking with strict rules would be permanent. But I am SO glad, and I hope that everyone writes to Disney and thanks them! I know of passholders who want to do the Everest opening, but they wouldn't have been able too get passholder rooms otherwise!
I think this is a great idea! They have responded to all of us in a positive manner. The least we could do is say a big "Thank you" back. No doubt they read these boards. Maybe a Sticky message at the top we could all post to instead of bombarding them with emails? What do you say moderators?
