Upgrade success!

Just thought some of you looking for upgrades from Port Orleans FQ would like to hear that I had some success. I booked a 7 day trip (2 adults) through AAA for 11/22-11/29/03 before they announced the closing of POFQ. My AAA guy told me that we just had to wait for the Disney people to call with upgrade options, but my mother, who booked the same trip for herself through another AAA office, had some luck. Her AAA rep was able to upgrade all of us to the Polynesian for an extra $33 per night. (That's a good deal, right? I'm not getting ripped off, right?) So I guess the point is, just keep pushing for that upgrade!

Mike

Excellent Deal!!

Thats an excellenent deal and your certainly won't be disappointed at the Poly. You can go to tripadvisor.com and type in Disney Polynesian and read just how many people love the Poly. POR is nice but the POLY is much nicer and more convenient to get around from and if you have kids they'll love the pool if not you'll love the pool. Congrats and enjoy your vacation.

Sounds like a great deal! Back in 2001 they closed down the same resorts because of 9/11 and other things. We were given an option to go to either CBR or CSR. We pushed then a little and they finally let us stay at WL for only $50.00 more and this was Thanksgiving week!

That is an incredible deal!!! IMO, you can't get any better than the Polynesian for location, service and atmosphere! Good for you! Just curious, what rate did you book PORFQ?

I also had reservations for the FQ and I got a similar upgrade.. $33.45/per night for the Boardwalk Inn, although I had to do argue to get that. I wish I'd fought a little harder, cuz I would have preferred the Poly! :>
