Just got a letter that the WL pool is closed while I am there

[enough]

It's shutting down on Sept 3rd and will be totally closed while I am there. What are the chances that Mickey Mouse will move me to another resort if I complain enough?

Others are being moved upon request, but it'll depend on what's available for the dates of your stay and whether or not any discounts tied to your reservation are available for another resort. I would go ahead and call them.

just called - nothing available at the Contemporary, and the rooms available at the Grand Floridian are about $700 more than what my package costs now...

such a bummer!

she said to call back though as there may be cancellations

 

[cw1982]

Based on your countdown in your signature, you have plenty of time to change rooms. I'd call once a day until something opens up. Cancellations can happen up to 45 days out without penalty, and even after that people have emergencies come up that force their hands.

I'll keep trying then! It would be great to be moved over to the contemporary.

 

[coltow]

Have you considered any other options? Like AKL or YC/BC?

 

[enough]

Yeah, I have, but I think I would prefer to be near MK honestly

It's doubtful they will move you without making you pay the difference. They're offering an alternate pool at Contemp for you to use and providing transportation so while it's definitely a bummer (and they DEFINITELY should have given more notice than 2 months ahead of time) at least they are offering some sort of compensation as opposed to just saying "tough!" We had WL booked for 1 night in November and wewere strictly going to just use the pool that day but, it's going to be closed, so we changed to Beach Club Villas. Luckily, it wasn't any more expensive.
