I was reading on some Disney travel sites tonight that WDW is cracking down on Guests making multiple bookings for rooms.
The reason is they have upgraded the computer software for the reservations system and are able to track this by either Guests CC numbers or addresses.They also know when you have been there before and where you stayed. They have noticed that more and more guests have made multiple bookings of rooms for the same dates there by creating an artifical rise in the numbers of rooms booked at a resort for (a) certain date(s). I know that some of my fellow members here on the site have become Quite savvy over the years on getting the best rate and made one booking under one rate then discovered a better rate and booked the better rate. seems some aren't Canceling the first booking right away while deciding what they wanted to do about which resort to stay at. This could also go along with the buzz on another thread about WDW requiring you to pay upfront for you reservation.
There is good and bad in this. the bad is that you will have to decide quickly on your accomadations. The good is that if it is a popular resort then there will be more rooms available for a picticular rate code since it seams that a room that had a discount code when canceled goes back to the rack rate pool and loses it's discount status making less discount rooms available for each resort.
