Re: Any rhyme or reason for getting upgraded.
There is no rhyme or reason for change of resort upgrades, other than possibly the original resort being overbooked.

Re: Any rhyme or reason for getting upgraded.

Re: Any rhyme or reason for getting upgraded.
My luck they will offer my DW and DS an upgrade and they will say NO THANX. I told them to stay where ever they wanted and they are CSR fans so thats where they are headed.

Re: Any rhyme or reason for getting upgraded.
Didn't one of our MBer's just get upgraded from a value to SSR? I think its a good marketing ploy. If there is availability, let people see first hand DVC, and then it opens the room for another reservation at a value.

Re: Any rhyme or reason for getting upgraded.
Over Labor Day weekend, my sister came up to babysit my kids while we went to V&A. She was booked at Pop and was upgraded to the Boardwalk. I figure Pop was probably full and Boardwalk was empty.
I am glad this happened because when we visited BW to drop the kids off, I wasn't that impressed. I guess it is all about location, but I feel there are much better choices along the Boardwalk. The only think I have ever been upgraded was at the GF from a standard room to Concierge!! Ooooooh, that was nice!!

Re: Any rhyme or reason for getting upgraded.
We were upgraded last Labor Day weekend from a standard Poly room into a MK View room- it was amazing. I have always been curious as to why that happened as well, since the resort didn't seem full.

Re: Any rhyme or reason for getting upgraded.
Aside from 1 being full and the other not, it's a bait n switch. Really, they're giving you a taste of something you probably would've never tried on your own to see how nice it is hoping you'll enjoy it so much so you'll spend that little extra next time around for a bigger slice of the pie

Re: Any rhyme or reason for getting upgraded.
so do they upgrade you for free? Do you have to ask?? and what are the chances POP is over booked as of tomorrow? We originally had ressies at PORS but they had an opening at Pop for that week like 2 weeks later (they originally had NO value resorts open...for almost 2 months!!!)
Do you think if I called the res center and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades there would be??

Re: Any rhyme or reason for getting upgraded.
I had a friend that got upgraded to a studio at SSR when they had the email promo. When they got there, they got upgraded again to a 2 br at SSR.
I did find out that that promo was only intended for people who booked directly through Disney and I booked through AAA, so no luck for me, but I got great parking  We like to drive to the parks rather than take the bus from AS resorts.

Re: Any rhyme or reason for getting upgraded.
I don't like to think about it! I just think that even hoping for an upgrade is setting yourself up for disappointment- they're so rare.
