Ok, we've got two nights booked at WL before we move over to BCV. The family we are traveling with decided to join us for one of those nights at WL. I just called and tried to add a room to our reservation so I can apply an AP code if one comes out for our dates. The CM said I couldn't book 2 rooms in my name unless I had too many kids for one room. I have booked 2 rooms in the past with no problems but I played along and started to book the room in my friend's name. I went through the whole family, getting everyone set up only to learn there are no regular rooms left at WL, just deluxe rooms, suites, and club level rooms. All that for nothing. The CM did tell me to check with AAA and online because there are 3 different pools of rooms and there may be standard rooms available online.


I hung up and checked online and sure enough, all regular room types were available. I called back to talk to another CM knowing the first CM was wrong. Went through the whole thing again, no standard rooms.

Why would Disney not book a room that is available? Seems so strange to me because I know there are people (like my DILs) who wouldn't book a room online no matter what.

What I did learn is that I can't book 2 rooms under my name (unless I have more kids than will fit in the room) even though I have an AP and can get a discount on up to 3 rooms. I was told to book the room under my friend's name and I could still get the AP discount with my AP. Wouldn't it be easier to let me book both rooms in my name since the AP is in my name?

Also, check both online and with CRO to see if there are rooms available.
