At this time only FW and the DVC resorts are opening, so she could not offer me anything else. Said these were the only ones they were able to book at this time.I find this interesting, surely there will be more than FW or OKW (Or any DVC Resort) open in November? Or are the only offering DVC resorts because your original June booking is affected?
I was at POP originally and the CM offered FW cabin and Old Key West Studio since they are the two that are closest in price to my original price at POP since I was moving my dates to November and not just keeping the same dates.Has anyone who isn’t at an All-Star been automatically offered a FW cabin?
Actually the renovated SSR 1 bedrooms sleep five. There is both a queen size & twin sleep murphy bed in the living room.My dates were June 24- July 1.
I am keeping my dates.
My original resort was CBR 5th sleeper.
I originally booked using AP room only discount.
I got an email from Disney asking me to confirm, modify or cancel. I confirmed and was told Disney would call me “soon” to discuss options. I waited 40 hours with no call, then called Disney this morning.
I am being moved to: I was offered SSR 1BR which doesn’t sleep 5, and we are a party of 5 with kids ages 17, 15, & 12. Awaiting an upper level guest service cm to call me with a solution.
My cost increase/decrease is: none
Interesting. And my understanding is that a lot of the renovated rooms are in the Congress Park area right next to Disney Spring. If that is the case, getting assigned a one-bedroom as a family of 5 might actually be a bonus because they'd have to put you in a renovated room with good location, whereas a two-bedroom might be anywhere in the resort (and not renovated).Actually the renovated SSR 1 bedrooms sleep five.

Yep, I just asked. She put me on hold for a few minutes and came back with a yes. I said that we could take the days off at either end but was able to choose which dates to drop. This is for before the parks open, though. I don’t know if that makes a difference. We’re just going to lie by the pool and eat at DS. We might go to the beach or St Augustine one day.Oh they let you change dates. I am wanting to remove a day also.
Yup. Wouldn't hurt if they managed to squeeze you into a renovated two bedroom thoughInteresting.

We asked if we could request Congress Park in an effort to get a updated villa, but the CM told us that those are preferred rooms in that section and we couldn’t specify a preferred room since we were coming from a moderate resort...they did say we could pay rack rate for it, um no thank youInteresting.

That is what I was going to ask lol. How much was rack rate?We asked if we could request Congress Park in an effort to get a updated villa, but the CM told us that those are preferred rooms in that section and we couldn’t specify a preferred room since we were coming from a moderate resort...they did say we could pay rack rate for it, um no thank you![]()
I didn’t ask but last July 4 they were $1000+That is what I was going to ask lol. How much was rack rate?
You should still be able to put in Congress Park as a room request in MDE. No guarantees obviously.We asked if we could request Congress Park in an effort to get a updated villa, but the CM told us that those are preferred rooms in that section and we couldn’t specify a preferred room since we were coming from a moderate resort...they did say we could pay rack rate for it, um no thank you![]()
It actually freaks me out to post this...like we will lose the offer if we share. I am weird.
Anyway, edited to just basic details -
