Any changes or cancellation will result in fees from $25 to the full cost of your stay. The cancellation and refund policy is subject to change." Is it just me, or is the wording here confusing? Are they saying that ANY change or cancellation is subject to a charge? Even if it is more than 6 days before arrival? Or did they mean to say the charges apply if you cancel after the 5 days prior? Disney reservations are always the most confusing!

I think that that policy means if you cancel your trip within the 5 days prior to your arrival you will lose your money.
Originally Posted By Jenasweetemotion What there policy is 30 plus days is $25.00 per reservation 29-5 is $50.00 per reservation and 4-1 is $75.00 per reservation if you cancel it is 30 plus $100.00 per reservation 29-5 $200.00 4-1 50% of package price. When you book your package they will send you this information. Which is sometimes to late. The assume when you book that you know what ther rules are so they can inforce them. When I found a better deal then them through Expedia which is still $100.00 per night with a 4 night stay at Paradise Pier they tried to charge me a Cancelation fee. Long story short and a few supervisors later I only got charged a change fee because I was still staying in the same hotel. Just make sure you are really ready to book, so you wont get these fee's

Originally Posted By Dalia3001 If you call the hotel and book directly, there is no cancellation fee or change fee if you do it more than five days before the trip. If you do it online, you are using the Walt Disney Travel Company, so there is a different cancellation policy. At least I'm pretty sure that's what the deal is. This is why I often end up booking through the hotel directly. The rates have been comparable for us as often we have had a senior with us and the senior rate seems to end up being better than a package rate. If it's just me and my husband, we often can't totally guarantee that our dates won't change, so the change fee is an issue. I do miss the fancy package I get in the mail when booking through the WDTC though. : )
Originally Posted By MickeyMommy Thanks, that's what I will do. I have always booked directly with the hotel in the past, but for our trip last month I booked on-line in the Annual Passholders section. The rates are exactly the same as what I can get by calling directly, I just liked the convienence of doing it myself on-line. But no way will I do that again! I am back to calling!
Originally Posted By Jenasweetemotion I booked by directly calling, I have an AP and don't like to book online. The information I wrote above is what I was sent. I only had 2 rooms no package just using my AP. They can waive it and most times will but other times they will not, and that is why I wrote that above.

Originally Posted By 1DisneyNutt I could be wrong but I think as long as your trip has not been payed for in full you are allowed to change at no fee. Once the trip is payed for then there is a fee for any changes. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
