Mom2thebest, I'm curious. How far out are you booking? Was your cruise kind of last minute too?
Also, Disboards are a wealth of information and helpfulness ..I wonder if those of us that get assigned an HA room we neither need nor want could post it here to see if there's anyone that really needs it. Then maybe we could figure out a way to give them our room?? Sounds crazy, but hey people work out all kinds of things. Seems like if both parties could get DCL on the phone simultaneously, maybe just maybe, it could work out?? Or am I just being a Pollyanna .
I think it is a crying shame when laws are put into place without considering all ramifications. Seems dreadful that folks who need an HA room can't get one because it was given to someone whose party doesn't have special needs.
As for my rez, we were only about 3 weeks out when I booked (I have never done a cruise this last minute!), and it's apparent by my frequent visits to DCL's website that our 2/16/14 cruise is going to be quite booked. So perhaps it's mostly when they get down to only a small number of rooms onboard that they give away the HA's??? I surely hope so ..
Having worked for Disney (not DCL though), I can advise this ..if you DO have special needs in your party, PLEASE ALWAYS ADVISE when making any kind of reservation. Disney will do its best to accommodate whenever possible.
And for those of us who prefer (for whatever reason) NOT to have an HA room, looks like we need to be very specific when booking to request a non-HA room ..
