Hey POFQ fans... I have an opinion question. We're doing our last trip to WDW with our AP's in late October. I have been unable to get the last night of our planned four night stay through disney, much less a discount. We like the gardenview rooms; which I presently have booked for the first three nights.
Enter decision. I reached out to a
travel agency who can get me all four nights in a standard room. The rate is similar to rack for three nights gardenview.
If I book with the agency I will be giving up the ability to snag an AP room discount when/if they release. We've been lucky in getting them so far, but always very close to our actual travel date. I've also never used a travel agency before, and trusting a third party makes me anxious. I called Disney months ago about that fourth night, and the cast member seemed to think odds were good it would open up.
So WWYD? Is the lower rate worth the drop in view? TBH not all of the gardenview rooms I've booked have been worth it, and there's no guarantee it will be this time either. Pros/Cons? Keep trying for gardenview rack/discount? It's likely our last visit for a while and I don't want to feel like we compromised too extremely. TIA!
