Anything in holding would expire at the end of the contract year no matter what…which would be a deal killer for most members looking to book anything with slight uncertainty
I assume bookings made with holding points can’t be pushed to later dates? So people would have to cancel and pounts put back into holding?
That might work.
I expect they'll come up with some new schemes to clear points beyond just "make BLT owners knife-fight in the parking lot to book at 11 months." Once COVID is good and truly behind us, I think we'll see some additional member cruises and other non-resort ways to spend points that the membership will probably gobble up.
No it doesn’t. We happen to like it. Can’t beat the location. And once it gets it’s refurb and the Murphy beds it’ll be perfect.And that’s really unfortunate…
…cause bay lake sucks
I don't like the location, honestly. Super convenient to Magic Kingdom and miserably inconvenient to everything else. If you visit the four parks roughly equally, you'd spend less time on transit staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge than Bay Lake Tower.
Now that you guys have separated from the EU…I’m gonna call our trade rep and get a fresh deal to export senses of humor to you guys
It’s not perfect…far from it. But of course some will value it much more than I
This is what I was trying to say. Thanks Cap!
Unfortunately, people absolutely abuse the system. My DW saw on a FB group that someone bragged about walking a reservation for 8 months. 8 friggin months to get the dates he wanted. Talk about abuse. They really need to somehow curb this egregious behavior.
That's not abuse.
I didn't catch the sarcasm there. I hope you are kidding.
Walking a reservation is no more abuse than having a faster internet connection than someone else when you go to book at 8am on the morning of 11 months out.
Umm, you did read where i said he WALKED the reservation for EIGHT MONTHS. He changed the reservation over 200 times. Yes, that is abuse of the system. If he had walked it for a week, well, not something we would ever do, but at least it's not as bad as 8 months.
No. You're not.
He's not booking a home resort reservation. He's booking at a resort that he is only allowed to book at 7 months for an especially busy time of year. Doing that, he is taking those dates from a person who OWNS at that resort, and can now no longer book those dates. That is total abuse of the system.
Those owners had a 4 month head start. And again, walking is a *temporary* hold. They can't book those days while he has them in his walk, but they can book them a week later when he's walked through.
How can you possibly think that? Once he is done walking, he is permanently taking those dates from one other person that should have been allowed to book those dates long before HE was allowed to book them. Abuse.
And he started at 8 months - 4 months BEFORE they were allowed to book. I really cannot believe that you think this is even partially OK at all.
Yeah, I see your point on that one. So he was really only blocking out another non-home resort person.
