Hello! I was just looking for some feedback as to what others think I should do. I posted a few days ago regarding which resort my family and I should stay at when we go (either the WL or PO-FQ) and really found all the information quite useful, thank you all for letting me know your experiences. I greatly appreciated it.
But now on to my new dilemma... dh would prefer for us to go to DW in May but is being difficult about waiting for the deals/discounts to come out (to see what kind of price we can get) before even talking about specifics (e.g. possibly even booking a room/trip!) Talk about frustrating. So my question is, IF we were to book a room (or package) for a specific time in May for full price and then the deals/discounts come out for May after we've done that, could we call back and get reimbersed the extra money OR maybe even switch around where we stay? For example, if we were to book a room at an All Star for 5 nights, but then the discounts came out and we could then afford to stay at a Moderate for 4 or 5 nights (depending on the deal) or even stay at a deluxe for 3 or 4 nights for roughly the same price, could we do that if the particular resort(s) in question had rooms available?
I think dh is a bit apprehensive to make a commitment to a price for a vacation before the deals come out (if they ever do for the time we want to go!) and then get stuck with the full price. Thinking if we just wait for the deals, we could've saved XX dollars (that's how we booked last year's trip.) But one of my concerns is room availability AND I really wanted to try hard to get us priority seating for Cinderella's Royal Table and I've heard numerous times how hard it is to do that.
So anyway, what do you guys think we should do? I'm hoping to convince him SOON since we want to go around this time in May and every day counts now. I just wish those discounts would just come out already, it would make things so much easier on us and probably a LOT of other people here too.
Thanks for any words of wisdom you can offer...
