Is there any downside to a UK person making a WDW hotel reservation via the US website?
I need to do this because I cannot find the room I want on the UK site.
It would be room-only as the UK ticket pricing is much better than the US ticket pricing. This means the DDP is not an option.
The deposit is higher, but the cancellation terms are much more generous.
There is some risk in currency fluctuations as the balance won’t be paid until check-in next summer and who knows what the exchange rate will be by then.
Always a risk in currency fluctuations but, usually its not that wild of a ride. I would look into CC foreign transactions fees as they may apply. If its the room u want, and ur willing to take a chance, go for it!
This is definately a wild ride! I havent had the opportunity to discuss this with the people it most effects. I know this is off topic and if its too much to ask, say so, but could u give me ur prospective on the whole situation and the possibility of an exit with no deal?
It’s going to be a never-ending massive upheaval, which may well be catastrophic. I can’t see any advantages, only huge disadvantages. No deal is looking increasingly likely.
The pound has fallen and continues to fall as a result of Brexit, making WDW vacations (and Apple products) hundreds of pounds more expensive.
As regards the substance of the thread, I’m leaning towards the UK pricing. I’d like to stay in the Toy Story section, and those rooms are all preferred.
I tend to like preferred, they are usually more convenient. We got toy story last visit at movies. We were 3rd floor but close to the stairs at the end of the wing, closest to the dining hall. No room request sent. If u can get a deal with UK dining plan, it may work out better financially. Disney food is so expensive!
