Problems with April BLT Reservation System - False Inventories

[disynut]

This makes me horribly nervous. We booked BLT back in October, using our points for the first couple nights, and rented a reservation for the last few nights, so our ressie already has some confusion attached to it......

It should be warm enough to just sleep out by the pool.

probably the best bet as im sure the couches in the VWL's iron spike room are waitlisted

So has anybody called MS to ascertain how Disney plans to deal with the overbooking?

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

yes.

is there an offical policy dealing with this issue?

if a mistake was made & if there are rooms @ other resorts then
they should be offer per home-resort owners. if this was a dvc
mistake, then they should cx. with points going back so they
can rebook instead of "holding".

my guess...if you are an owner, why would you book after the
7mos. period? so who booked first would also follow this direction.


why would dvc reveal any owners booking within 7mos., when
they can anticipate it would be used to manipulate toward
getting a "free" upgrade? so either way, they would make a list
based on rooms and then process what is left? besides, who
will be unhappy going back to their home resort? however,
from past experiences..if there are other rooms "open/
available" then i bet they would try to make everyone happy.
the problem might be, that dvc/& paying revs. are 2 separate
departments and may not be able to even if they have rooms?

Hey, OP here. So I called yesterday for Bay Lake for July. Was told they had the room. I said, "ok...let's book it." As soon as they went to book the room, it was gone again. I mentioned the false inventory thing and the CM knew exactly what I was talking about. He also confirmed it's only affecting BLT (maybe this is all they know about though.) So it seems at least they're not allowing any new bookings. That's better than allowing them and then having the overbooking issue.

I have a mixed stay in WDW in April. My last night is at BLT. Originally I booked a studio...this was at 7 mos mark.

This month I was able to change my studio to a 1br. This is for 4/23. I was surprised but figured since so many ADR's are still available(was able to change 3 to 4) AND CRT is available still on Easter.....as of 2 days ago.....that it isn't as busy?
I really hope this is not a mistake. We specifically booked BLT for this 1 night for my DD's birthday. We have all of our ADR's around this area.
