Questions about reservations at a Moderate

[zordude]

Hi all,
I'm currently scheduled to go to WDW and stay at CBR Oct/8/04 - Oct/16/06.

I currently have the room booked with the AAA rate, but it's still $140 a night. This price is compounded by the fact that we are taking my parents, and my wife's parents, so I'm paying for 3 rooms at that rate.

I already mentioned AAA and I'm also a Disney Visa Charter Member. I tried to call and use CTV and was told that I could not use it for my travel date (I was aware of the restrictions). I realize that there may be codes for my travel dates later as the time grows closer, but here is my complaint, for an extended family vacation, October is not that far away to have things planned. I was thinking about calling back the reservations office and my question is this:

Will anyone care?

I do not think they will, but it seems rediculous to me. Not that I want the reservation office to know this, but I am dedicated to staying on site, so I can't even pretend I'm going to pull my current ressie.

I guess this turned into a bit of a rant. I guess the only thing I can do is wait.

WDW publishes limited discounts for the resorts. You have to keep your eye open for any deals and there is no guarantee that there will be special rates at any particular time.

The best way to look at it is to book the room or resort that you are comfortable paying. If there are any discounts you have saved some money otherwise you will still have a great vacation. Resorts do fill up so at least you do have rooms.

Rationally I know you are right Saftey.

I guess I'll chalk it up to a little rant after I called and added 2 more days to my pre-existing res today.

I was thinking the same thing SuzyQue!

I would switch my reservation over to a travel agent at this point. Someone like DU or Small World that keeps up with the Disney Codes and will immediatelty get your ressie switched to them as soon as they are available. That way you don't have to keep worrying about missing it!
