Code Etiquette

[sandiegosusie]

I am new at the whole thing so I am in need of some guidance. I already have ressies for Feb 11-13 before our cruise at WL. I have already used my DC discount when I booked. When the codes come out, what am I suppose to do? Do I just call WDTC and ask them to apply (xxxxcode) or what? I do not want to look like a total fool, even though I am feeling that way!!! I honestly want to thank everyone for all of the great info. I have saved a bundle and have planned what I hope to be a magical surprise 40th birthday for my husband!

That is exactly how I do it. I provide the booking number and ask them to apply "Code ####" to the package.

Don't be shy about calling. The CM's are used to it. That is why they give out the codes.

I did it in July. I originally had a DC reservation for CBR for 12/6 and changed it to a code in July. The CM was very nice. Because a DC reservation is WDTC and a code reservation is CRO, they have to cancel the DC reservation, give you a credit and then rebook under CRO and charge another deposit. After all that, when I found out the CBR was going to be closed, I changed to BWI with an AP rate in September. They just charged the difference in the deposit.

One thing - there has to be a code discounted room available for your dates, it isn't automatic. They only set aside so many rooms for AP or Code discounts. Good Luck!
