I wasn't sure where to ask this, I thought the resort changing thread was moving so fast it would just get missed. So I'll try here. we are booked for a Lion King Suite August 6-15 under the covid recovery 35% off discount and there are 6 of us. I know the resort isn't opening until August 12, so I assume we will have to move resorts. I have not been contacted by disney about this, and in
MDE it still says AoA (all of which I expected). My question is, should I just wait this out since it's still a ways away, or should I call?
I have to admit I am hoping to be upgraded to a deluxe or deluxe villa resort at no additional cost, and from what I'm reading on other threads that seems to be a reasonable hope. Since there are 6 of us and we wouldn't fit at Pop (plus I would not consider Pop a reasonable alternative to the suites at AoA - the LM rooms yes, not the suites), and since there are 6 of us it seems like our only options that will be open are FW cabins and 2 Br villas. I think I would take either if offered at the same price, but honestly the cabin is not my cup of tea and I would prefer to stay at AoA, but that isn't an option... Should I call (maybe not today, given the current mess, but soon), or give it a little longer and see if they just change it or contact me? it just seems so much like a crapshoot from what I'm reading - like some go from an All Star to TPV BLT, and others are told they have to pay to move anywhere? I'm so afraid I'll get the CM who tells me too bad, and we are not willing to pay the price difference to a 2 BR villa, even at 35% off! Not when we see others in similar (not always identical, but similar) situations getting moved for the same cost.
