I haven't booked a reg room in a few yrs, but I'm looking at POP for one night. I thought at one time depending on how your booked, the rules to cancel were different, does anyone know?

We have done both. I would rather do it on the phone. It becomes more personal when you talk to a person and you can explain any special requests. They also have on record how many visits you have made to WDW. In 7 days we will be making our 52nd stay at Disney Resorts. Beside, my wife does it on the phone so I don't have to bother.

I prefer to do it online, but thats just me. I like to be able to print everything out and have a record on paper, in my hands. I'm not sure about the rules to cancel though. .

I would always rather talk to a person.

I always call to book but that's mainly because I can't get the current discounts online and of course I enjoy talking to actual CM's!

As far as printing everything, you can do that when you book on the phone too. They send a copy of everything to your email.

I normally book online unless I have a specific question about something. I like that I can print everything as confirmation right away.

I haven't tried to book online in a while... I stopped because when I tried to find a hotel, it would tell me nothing was available. Then I would call and they'd tell me they had availability at my first choice! Maybe they have since fixed this problem...

I check prices online but always call to talk to real person.. prefer the customer service..and they can help me out better and offer advice if I need it.

In the end, you're better off booking on the phone.
If you make your reservations on line, it's almost impossible to modify them.
That means adding a day to an existing reservation, subtracting a day to an existing reservation, adding the dining plan, etc pretty much can't be done, or undone without speaking to a human and if you made your reservation on line, even the human will have major problems doing what you need.

I pretty much do the same thing, although there have been a few times I've booked on line, but it was really close to my arrival and only for adding a day or an overnight visit.

This was just for one night. We are starting our trip on a Sunday and while looking at airfare, I noticed the Saturday afternoon flights were cheaper than the Sunday morning flights. Enough of a difference for a night at a value. So the idea was get to the hotel about 7 pm and do nothing. Pack what we need in our carry on bags so we won't unpack, early next morning check out and go to the parks. That way we have a full day and DH won't be dragging from getting up at 3 am. But all this depends are airfare on SW and they won't be out for a while, that's why I was wondering about the canceling rules.

I just called and booked the room. With AAA discount it was 69 + tax for the one night. Maybe an AP discount will come along. I know only one discount at a time can be used, but usually AP discounts are better. I can cancel up to 5 days ahead.

[missymouse]

Sounds like a great plan, jo-jo!

I always check online and book on the phone. You can always ask the person on the phone what the best current deals are, online you get a set price. We've saved a lot of $$ this way. Hope that helps.

Same rules apply regardless of how you book it, so I prefer to do it online. If I had questions extra, I would do it over the phone, but I always know exactly what I want and don't have questions.
