Changing resort after discount comes out

[EvilQueen-T]

Any advice from people who have booked a vacation (we've paid the minimum so far) then had room discounts come out and then changed resorts to take advantage of the room discount? I'm keeping the same dates and staying in the same resort category but could save $300 for the trip if there are no associated hidden fees for switching, for instance do you loose the initial one nights deposit or anything like that? What's been your experience with doing this?

As long as you are outside of 45 days for a package (room + tickets) you can do anything from cancel to modify without any financial penalty.

We changed ours today. We booked on January 1. Changed today (room only) and should an AP rate come out that's better, we will rebook again.

That's similar to a question I have...
I think you'll be OK to change resorts w/ the same dates and such w/i the 45 days.
But, my dilemma was always taking those 2 days June 10 and 11 off ( teacher days). Now the discount is being offered on July 13- August something.
I would like to change it, but hubby doesn't think he could change his days. But, our flights are "non-refundable". So am I correct in assuming you can't change your dates!???

Then no, you won't lose any money. We've done this quite often.

thanks to everybody!!!! i feel soooooo much better now. up until recently we were always able to go off season and wait until the discounts were out but because of a family reunion in august this trip we have to take that plus school schedules into account so it's a summer trip or none. with what everybody here has experienced i think we'll be good to make the change.

You can change dates, resort, tickets,....anything you want, but it sound like you are having a conflict with promotion dates. For a promotion you must check in inside the dates of the promotion. When it comes to airfare you are at the mercy of your airline.

seems like everything transferred smoothly but knowing how their computer system "improvements" have been lately...well i guess we'll see when we actually get there lol. we ended up changing from pofq to cbr. i prefer pofq of the two but for a savings of $396...yeah...i'm adjustable.

Hope it all works out for you, I'm sure it will!

Just did it Tuesday. Saved 1500k on my initial booking for this July as I "rebooked" trip over the phone to take advantage of discount. Limited rooms each resort. Do it now.

it's as easy as changing your knickers after you trust one is just gas and end up sharting yourself
