we're booked! but should i change hotel?

[susannah365]

don't know how many of you will remember, but a while ago my family won a 2 night stay at disneyland. we were told at the time it would be sequoia lodge but i've just received confirmation of our booking and they've put us in newport bay club, standard room. very excited to have the booking through of course but worried about the change of hotel.

i'm thinking of phoning them up to find out about either upgrading to admirals floor, or moving to sequoia lodge, montana room. my main concern is the amount of walking that may be required to get from our room all the way to breakfast and then into the park (we don't like using the busses). a secondary reason is that i've always wanted to stay in sequoia lodge and since we're going at the end of october i thought it would be more cosy if that makes sense!

i was hoping my fellow disers could help me with this - i've stayed in santa fee, cheyenne and davy crocket so either hotel is an upgrade from the usual!

i've just thought, we really liked the cheyenne with it's bunk beds - i wonder if i could downgrade to the cheyenne and use the extra money left on cafe mickey instead??

Firstly you need to read the T&C's as they usually state no cash alternative, you maybe able to downgrade but that will be it so the likely hood of using the difference for a meal at Cafe Mickey will be remote.

Also the Montana rooms at the SL are currently the lodges whilst they do the refurb, the lodges have already been finished.

I would personally stay with what has been booked, the bridge by the Newport Bay has reopened as Earl of Sandwich is open, so the walking to the parks won't be as long now.

thanks tennisfan, hadn't thought of looking at the t+c. i think it did say no cash alternative so i guess i'll stick with what we've got - not that it is a hardship!! i had forgotten that the bridge was now open as well, i was thinking we were going to have to walk all the way past sequoia lodge to get to the park.

If it were me I'd stick with Newport Bay - you may be pleasantly surprised and if you find you don't like it at least it won't have cost you anything.

PLUS it gives you a reason to book again ..... to try Sequoia!!
