I'm sorry it this came across in a bad way - In don't think its a bad idea to move to CBR - I think its a GREAT IDEA
The one post I read from the guy moving from pop he was up +£400 AND please read this post from the main cbr thread I wrote. https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho... post12338953 "Originally Posted by Mandiecox Does anybody know if you can opt to move from port orleans riverside to the Caribbean and still get the credits. As we are only there a week and have a lot off meals booked in the parks it really wouldnt bother us to stay there. We will be too busy too spend any time on site. As there are 11 off us and we have 3 rooms that would be a considerable amount off disney souvenirs we could buy. And it would free up the rooms for people wanting to move. PAPAMOUSE: ABSOLUTELY - that's a great way to turn this steaming pile of lemons into lemonade! someone upgraded from POP and the upgrade cost + the credits meant they were + £400! call them up - I think they will be glad of the extra rooms at POR to be honest. well done for spotting an opportunity 3 rooms x 14 nights x $75 is $3150 lovely free spending money hit the phones - then call Alan Sugar, he says - YOU'RE HIRED hear that sound - that's opportunity knocking" There is always a way to turn a negative into a positive and if it works for you grab it - I wasn't being judgemental, I think if it works for you - it works and well done for spotting it.

I'm with Virgin this time for the pure fact it was initially booked for 2016 but we were trying for our second child and needed the flexibility, along came our daughter and we moved the holiday to 2017.
When we moved it we booked CSR then had a look a while later and POR was cheaper so moved over. I can't wait but I am slightly concerned about how bad the bus situation will be but we will manage! |

Looks like the ppl who got £50 refund will be okay - but at the exact same time, ppl were offered $75 to stay - and now they are offering the $75 for even new arrivals - and Disney seem to have reneged on that now.
So the goodwill gesture for being in a resort not knowing abt construction versus someone booking now and being offered as an incentive seems like another mis match... another mistake by Disney it seems.

I am really not that bothered about the free upgrades - on the one hand there has been a big fuss about it but on the other hand I get that people pay a lot of money to stay on site so the price has to be right for the facilities which are available.
We're staying at AKL, and that isn't a resort which is being filled up with people being moved from CBR anyway.

Staying at POR and it did occur to me that it will be busier due to people being moved from CBR, but as someone else has previously pointed out had I not been aware of the CBR situation POR could have just been busy
It really makes no odds - its not like they're asking guests who booked POR to put people from CBR up in their rooms lol. Anyway I really feel for the people who booked CBR and think Disney have dealt with the whole situation very poorly! Surely these renovations aren't something just decided on a whim, they must have been planning for some time, so did they not arrange it for a future date, say in 2018 before rooms went on sale? Or at the very least have a proper plan in place to deal with those who are effected for either organising a move or compensating those happy to stay. I know I would be very disappointed if I had booked CBR |
