Yes! Only we had already checked in and had been assigned a room. I just decided to take the chance and ask if it would be possible.Did you upgrade at the front desk when you checked in?

That’s cool. It never hurts to ask. Glad you got some magic.Yes! Only we had already checked in and had been assigned a room. I just decided to take the chance and ask if it would be possible.
Hey there, has anybody already posted the October activities and/or pool hours and stuff? I've been trying to follow this one but I haven't seen it yet.
Can someone refresh my memory pls - it's been since Feb 2019 that I've been to Disney and I think things have changed since then - but if I'm bringing money to pay for food/stuff with gift cards, I know I can't link a gift card to the room and it has to be a credit card (which is fine) but how often do they charge the card? The last time I was able to go to the front desk every 2 or 3 days and pay off what we'd charged but I *think* that timeline is different (shorter) now?
Or is it better to just use the gift cards at the meal itself and not charge it back to the room?
and can I link a gift card to my magic band since I know I already have a credit card linked?
THANKS!!! 6 days until our first stay at BLT and we're SUPER excited!!
I just thought I had read somewhere on here that they were charging the credit card on file nightly or every other day or something like that and if you waited until the end of the trip it was too late as it had already been fully charged to the credit card...I would be sure to pay it off the night before checkout.

or am I making that up??
My experience last month was they initially authorize your card for $100. Once your spending goes over $100 they authorize additional based on whatever you spent. I made it a habit of going each/every other morning with gift cards to pay but I was close to the lobby and it wasn't a big deal. The other nice thing about that is they won't make subsequent authorizations until your balance goes over what has already been authorized.I just thought I had read somewhere on here that they were charging the credit card on file nightly or every other day or something like that and if you waited until the end of the trip it was too late as it had already been fully charged to the credit card...

PERFECT!! that's what I wanted clarification on! The credit card has no balance so there isn't an issue with them authorizing and we are eating most dinners at BLT so I could see my popping to the front desk daily to pay off our charges...My experience last month was they initially authorize your card for $100.

Example day one they added $231 to the initial $100 authorized (my room balance was $331). I went to front desk the next morning and paid it off. They didn't authorize more until my spending went above $331 so I didn't go back to pay it off until my spending went above and they authorized more. At one point my balance was over $1,500 and they still didn't charge the card they just kept making additional authorizations. However they will charge the card for any balance remaining overnight before checkout. So if you have a balance on your room the day before checkout you'll wake up on checkout day with no balance and your card charged.
Looks like Kona at Poly and The Wave at CR are about to join Sanaa at AKL with offering To Go orders. It’s not live in the app yet, but presumably it’s coming sometime soon.
