Did you book in advance or get the day of? I tried booking for several days on our upcoming trip but nothing was available.FYI, just got back, and we had the Executive Lanai for our pool day. So worth the money! Great service by the attendant for lunch, included water and fruit plate, etc. Loved the location, as we were close to everything, but off of the beaten path so I did not feel like there were a lot of lookie-lou's peeking in all the time (like I did when walking by cabanas!). My wife wanted something with a view of the ocean, but girls wanted to be near pools, so it was a perfect compromise. I did not even miss not getting a fridge or TV, like in cabanas. Would definitely recommend to those who can fit it into their budget.
I believe you can reserve a cabana as soon as you have a room reservation to tie it to. We reserved one about 6 months before our trip.Hey y'all! Jumping on this thread with a couple related questions of my own.
How far in advance can I book a cabana for our May 2023 honeymoon? And would payment be due on booking or simply added to our trip total?
TIA!
You dot really need to rent one, there’s plenty of chairs. Just get down there earlier.Hey y'all.
We are a family of 5. Mom, Dad, 5 yr old, 11 yr old and grandma. Will be there in a few months. Having a cabana seems really nice but the prices are high. In our past trips, we never struggled to find chairs or get a place to put our stuff down. For those who have rented a cabana, what is the major benefit or appeal? TIA!
Wonderful. Will probably jump on that today, then. Thank you!I believe you can reserve a cabana as soon as you have a room reservation to tie it to. We reserved one about 6 months before our trip.
Payment is Added to your trip I think. They do not charge in advance.
Yes you check in at Rainbow Reef in the morning, then they charge you. Either put it on the room or pay straight up. That’s it.Wonderful. Will probably jump on that today, then. Thank you!

Definitely jump on it ASAP. They book up fast, and cash guests/DVC owners who are booking May currently will be booking cabanas as well.
Thank y'all! Calling them as soon as I get off work today. Do you have any idea what the cancellation policy is? If something were to change, is there a period of time it'd still be refundable?Yes you check in at Rainbow Reef in the morning, then they charge you. Either put it on the room or pay straight up.

We had the executive lanai a couple weeks ago and it was quite relaxing.

When we've used cabanas, I have only tipped with the food/drink order which still adds up pretty high over the course of the day. I suppose if you only ordered a very minimum, you might give them a cash tip at the end of the day, but most of what they do is food related anyway.How is gratuity handled for the cabanas? I assume if we order food/drinks that it is included in the price, but just wondering if I should have some cash on hand to tip the attendant. Thanks.
