Magicaltimes said:My DH spoke with a cast member on another forum...He has been bouncing from Disboards and WDW magic. This cast member said that the BRP was developed to stop the AP holders who took advantage of the system. He said AP holders would book multiple hotels for the same dates and wait all year for the rates to come out. They then compared the rates of all the hotels and chose which one was the best then canceled all the other hotel reservation. For example, they may be going in September on the 15th thru the 20th and they would have bookings at AKL, GF, POL, POP, & WL. They then would wait for the rates to come out and if they like the rate at WL, they would then cancel all the other ressies. The CM said they had so many problems with that and it gave Disney inaccurate readings of how booked they are. This is why the non-refundable deposit and the bookings being 120 days out and 60 days out. This kept price comparison AP holders from holding too many rooms for bogus ressies.
My problem with the BRP program the non-refundable deposit and how far out you have to book. If it was truely a problem with AP holders holding too many rooms. Why do they not have a system set up that when you book a set of rooms for a certain date you could not book another hotel for the same dates? Only one hotel per dates...for example....AKL for Sept. 15th thru 20th only, but no other hotel during that time frame. If you want to stay at multiple hotels during your stay then AKL from Sept. 15th-20th and WL 20th thru 25th. I hope I am making since. This system would be like fastpass. If you already have a fastpass you cannot recieve another one until after the time of your current fastpass.
I don't know this is just a thought...![]()
Then why not just limit the amount of rooms an AP holder can book to just one--like the system is now, but without all the other changes? I never booked more than one room at a time on the old system--but in any case, seems that could easily just be solved by limiting reservations to one room only without all the other limitations on the new program.
