Chances of a Water View becoming available?

Hi

This is like a piece of string question but I thought I'd post anyway. We have 5 nights at the BC booked from October 1st 2020 with dining in a garden view room (I'm about to call and add a 6th night on). I really would love to change this to a water view but there are none available just now. Wondering what the chances are of one becoming available for our dates before we go. Also, if it did happen and I called to change, even if dining has ended, we keep it don't we? I'm unsure about which room categories were included at the BC this time so not 100%

Your best bet is to ask whoever you booked it with.

Well yeah but that would be too easy! And get a standard response. Nice to ask people who may have actual experience of it... like I say, piece of string... wheres that crystal ball!

All category BC rooms were in the offer for next year. You would keep the DDP (are you booked with Disney?) - only if there is a room available for your extra night and as it will be more expensive you won't pay a fee to change the booking. They only have a certain allocation of rooms for the UK free DDP offer so when they're gone on the website it doesn't mean there are no water view room empty it just means none left with the offer, so if you ring you may find there is availability.
ps - we've had several water view and the rest garden view and they've all been as good as each other.

Thanks so much for this. We did book direct so I'll give them a call and ask whilst booking the extra night ( there is availability for garden view for the extra night so booking that is the priority.). You're probably right, I'm thinking about this and actually itll barely matter. Probably more important to ask for a day bed room!

Free DDP offers ends on the 22nd October, so a good chance that all room types will be available on the 23rd?

Not sure about carrying DDP over to the extra night sorry.

Keep checking online. I think the availability varies quite a lot. I know I’ve sometimes seen water view for our dates and then it changes.

Actually it ends the 5th November. It’s really badly advertised on the website as it’s actually the gift card that ends on the 22nd October.
