Hi!

So, I have two upcoming trips planned.

One is for my son and I for Free Dining. We got upgraded to SSR for our package. I then booked room only at ASMo for the night before our package starts.

The other is for my DH and I for our 10 year anniversary. We are at AKL for that, and I booked one night room only at Pop before our package starts (I seem to have this disease where I start thinking about how much more fun we could have if we book a cheap room the night before our trip starts - so we can get a bright and early start when the "real" vacation begins :rotfl2:)

So, I just noticed the BUK code for room only for our dates, plugged them into the online booking engine, and we could book them.

I called WD Travel to see if I could apply the codes to our booked rooms, but they were enhancing the computers - so I couldn't get any info. Then, I started thinking, which is clearly dangerous, and now I am just wondering if I can book our "new" rooms online and then call and cancel the old rooms.

Because, I now think I want Pop instead of ASMo with my son (I liked Pop), and I could go to POFQ (or Riverside) with dh! And, I wouldn't be OOP much more money!

So, is that possible? Can I just book what I want online and then call and cancel old rooms no problem?

And, is PO a good choice for DH and I (I have read it is romantic) - we are planning on doing DD our arrival day (Raglan Road and then Adventurer's Club).

TIA!

Yes. Book what you want and after you have paid and obtained your confirmation number, you can then cancel your old reservation. You can cancel all the way up to a few days prior to your stay, i think it's 5 days. They will return the funds back to the card in about 2 to 4 business days.
 
That's what I did. I could not get the package rate applied to my WL reservation or at the Poly. I went online and booked the room only rate for the special. When I received the email with the confirmation I called Disney and cancelled the WL reservation. No problem.
 
Thanks you two!

I called back and while on hold booked the room only (online) at POFQ for our anniversary trip - it was $117 and the room at Pop I had booked was $92 and change. When the CM answered I cancelled my Pop room. So, I had a difference of $25.

Then, I applied the code to the ASMo room only for me and my son, and also changed it to Pop while on the phone with the CM. So, I saved $15.

So, for a net of $10 more, I got POFQ for one night! I'm very excited to try it. Yay for the codes and the Dis for making me aware of them!
