Mine is in myanage my booking - I will wait and see but I was told we were only waiting for the rooms to be confirmed - I thought the price was the price. I am probably being too impatient!

Anyone else notice a price change before it went to the original price?
Mine did by £17 but I rung they said it’s normal for that to happen and it will go back to Normal once all completed by Disney etc

Mine is confirmed although change from French quarter to riverside. Seems to be a few issues with port Orleans on Disney site.

I had an email this morning saying my booking had changed

I've been moved to a FQ Garden View room (had pre-booked a FQ Riverview room) and they've added a hire car which I never requested - My holiday is showing as £200 cheaper than when I pre-booked

I was going to see about upgrading to a riverview room but I only use it to have somewhere to sleep and shower so think I may stick with the Garden View (more money for spends )

Online chat is showing as offline and I couldn't get through this morning so have booked an appointment at our local shop tomorrow after work to get the hire car removed

Excited to be going again

I don't really want to pay for a garden view room (to change to FQ) if standard rooms will become available soon, especially as most rooms at FQ are garden view anyway so you've a good chance of getting one with a standard view booking ( we always have) however we really want FQ!
What to do... Still waiting to hear from our agent with options

People who've been moved to Riverside, are you planning to stick with Riverside or move?

I am very happy with our price, £7290 (Kenwood are quoting 7000 before upgraded dining for our dates!) The accommodation/ flight price along on the VH site has gone from around £5200 when I booked it to £7000 now! Thats before tickets are added! So keeping our VH booking definitely, Riverside wouldn't be the end of the world but would prefer FQ as its our home from home and we couldn't stay there last time due to being a party of 5.

Not been given any option to upgrade to garden view room for fq..

We are going to stick with riverside for now... we liked the resort last time. However, we chose fq for something different and the toddler splash area.

Not the end of the world being in riverside.

I only mention upgrading to a garden view room at FQ as there is availability for our dates there and the agreement with Virgin was if they couldn't honour our choice of accommodation they would offer alternatives and pay 5% of the upgrade cost. For our dates that would be £236 to upgrade. Im unsure whether to pay it or not.

Anyone else not confirmed yet? Will be frustrating if riverside gets overly filled from people being forced to move from French quarter and then my riverside booking isn’t confirmed, still availability for my dates online I’m just not very patient!

I have not had any of this unfortunately...

We do want FQ as our little one will be 22 months and the splash area is the reason we chose fq... plus smaller resort of course.

I know we can use facilities at both but would be better to be based there.
