Now because All Stars isn't officially open we can't get the two free nights there. They've said the lowest priced hotel/offer can take advantage off is Coronado Springs, it's an extra £450 for the two weeks, so £225 each for myself & my friend, but with this offer we also will get the $200 gift card and we've already been sent the $130 gift card for not having housekeeping while we're there!

Having never stayed on site properly before (only the odd few nights at AKL) I'm not sure whether this is a good offer - it seems good & Coronado Springs looks amazing, should we go for it/is it a good deal?
I, booked for all stars for 2 weeks and if I changed my booking to CSR it would be cheaper in a standard and same price in a tower room. Sounds a bit like they're trying to pull a fast one

If you don’t mind me asking how did the price for CBR compare with your POFQ booking?

I have just re ran the search for my dates (9 nights from Aug 12th)
POFQ with 14 day tickets at full price was 3895 (2 adults 2 children)

The same for CBR with the 14 days for price of 7 and the free nights is 3822. I’d have expected much more than a 73£ saving given the offer

We stayed there last year and it’s really a lovely resort. Because it’s a convention resort the amenities and rooms are closer to deluxe standard.

It’s CSR we’ve booked but for comparison our booking at POFQ was £4417 for 15 nights including tickets for 2 adults. CSR is £3057 for 14 nights including 2 adult tickets.

CBR only has pirate rooms for my dates so I can’t compare it.

If I helps, I had originally booked POR for September 2020 and for 2 adults for 7 nights cost £2314. I've just booked 7 nights at CBR for February 2021 and it's cost me £1967

Thanks, going back and looking again that explains it. CBR was a pirate room and CSR club level. Hence the higher than expected prices.

Yes we’re in a standard at CSR. Club is significantly more.

I've changed my booking with a very pleasant cm called Mimi this evening.
29th July at POR 5th sleeper (1 adult, 2 kids-8&16)14 nights.
Was £4811.08.
Now we're preferred at CBR for £4305.80 plus the $200 gift card.
I'm really pleased with this. If POR reopens we may switch back to there but we like the look of CBR so just hope we love it as much as Riverside if we stay there.
