What is normally better - 2 nights free or 30% off?

[Guest]

2+2 is cheaper on our stay than just 30% off BUT with the new offer of 30% off and free HB,I've just reproved the holiday and it's only £70 more expensive that what we paid on the 2+2 gutted can't change to new offer! lol!

Last year I booked with the 2 plus 2 offer then a month before we were due to leave the 40% off offer came on. My booking worked out a little tiny bit cheaper with the new offer.

After taking some advice from a few dlp forums I called up and asked if I could take advantage of the new offer if I added Auberge to my booking (we were going to go anyway)
By using the new offer I added Auberge to my booking for an extra £163 instead of £222 for the 5 of us, so saving myself £59 lol

This time around, I want to add HB plus which is £440 for the 5 of us. When the new offer is out, if the 30% off plus free HB is less than £440 more than my standing booking I will amend it. I want HB anyway so if I get to add it for less than £440 I get cheaper food mmmmmmmm

I spoke to disney and because the new offer only work out £70 more expensive than our current booking but it includes hb, I wanted to change, they stated their offers are only for new bookings and unless your booking is less than 30 days old, you cannot change your booking without incurring a cancellation fee of original booking! xx

who did you speak to? Try again - because although the blurb always says "new bookings only" if you speak to a CM who will listen to reason, they'll let you upgrade - usually until 60 days before your trip begins (ie the date you'll need to have paid it in full).

ah i see - yes i don't recall anyone reporting that they've been able to upgrade to a new offer through their travel agent, hopefully i'm wrong and someone will come along who has done it successfully.
