This is the rant every single month before codes are due out. I have just as much right to book a room with the hopes of getting a code as someone does booking a room on the possiblity they may be able to get away and vacation...or for any reason. A zillion people know nothing about codes, or these boards. In comparison, the amount of people who book and will not stay if they don't end up with a discount, are miniscule. If the few (in comparison to the overall numbers) who book hoping for codes are what is filling up the rooms, then I would be very surprised. More people stay in one day in Pop Century alone than are on these boards. Good grief, a few rooms booked in hopes or anticipation of a code are not going to be what breaks the camels back. A lot of people book a value or mod room, and then upgrade to a mod or deluxe once codes come out..because now they can afford more. Same difference, the rooms were frozen..same amount of rooms.F1Julie said:My rant with people waiting for codes is that they should NOT book a room and then hope of changing it or upgrading resorts when a code comes out. If WDW sees a lot of rooms are already booked, then why would they release a code?
The codes aren't even due out yet (if they come at all), so I guess I never understand why so many get theirselves in atizzy, and start venting about what we should book, who is entitled, etc. This is a hotel, they have marketing directors, they know how many outside rooms are already booked, I'm sure they have a fair handle on how many will cancel without the codes, how many extra they'll get with the codes. This is no small company. At this time, they don't appear to be overly booked for anything but holidays. Based on all the info they have, they'll decide to have them or not. If codes don't come out..I'll make other plans for May. Or go through SOG, or stay outside, or visit the Grand Canyon, or head over to Universal, or maybe visit at Tropical Palms. It's just not a biggy..however, I did make a ressie in anticipation or hope of codes, so I could go ahead with my plane ressie, cat sitter etc.
