Free Dining Oct-Dec Is Here!! Dates Confirmed!!! ~ Part 2

[KNovacovschi]

For those of you who have already received their confirmation emails how long did it take to receive it?

After a hour and fifty min. I finally got to talk to a cm and after looking for a room she says hold on and then the survey message comes on and it hangs up

O M G

If that happens to me I will be so mad! I'm pretty much just holding at this point to see if anyone actually picks up -- not holding much hope that what I want will be available, but still! Ugh! Sorry that happened to you.

 

[shillee]

Oooh, I want your POR! I hope there are others cancelling POR too and more open up for FD.

LOL...it was a preferred room. Would have kept POR if the price had been cheaper but we had been debating between them anyways. Figured this was the way to go although I will miss the boat ride to DD. The kids really liked that last year as well as the marshmallow roast each night on the way to dinner!

Has anyone been able to do anything with a Poly ressie? The website shows no availability for either fd or room disc for 10/20-10/26. Gotta be a glitch, I hope.

I still haven't heard a word from my TA yet this morning. Panic mode is starting to set in. I'm praying she has been on the phone with Disney all this time!

 

[Disneylover99]

I can't even get on hold and I've been trying for over 2 and a half hours. Just busy signals for me. Oh well......rack rate Disney here I come!!!!

Who can tell me a little bit about Caribbean Beach?

Originally booked at AOA but since they were excluded I was going to use POR as back up. They of course had no availability. So my CM was awesome and looked around found CBR. Super excited just don't know much about the resort. Any input fellow DISers???

 

[GoofyHusband]

After 80 calls to a busy signal I got thru. Saved $850 with the room discount. Best of luck to everyone out there!

Well that bites. I was in the middle of booking online and I guess their site is getting ready to crash because the free dining offers won't display. I click on the offer, choose my dates and resort and then it shows me the regular room only rates. Argggh! Was soooo close to having my trip booked.

Keep trying. It did that to me too then they finally came up correctly.

I wasn't really going to mention I had the 3yr old if I booked online. That is why I'm trying to get the one with the bunker. I was told the other day that if it was available, I could go that route.

Ahhhh....I see. I almost canceled my ressie and rebooked with my youngest as a 2 yr old but I am too chicken!!

I got that "taxes" line when I booked FD with my PIN, but the CM accidentally booked me a pool view @ $5/night. I had it fixed and it was back to my original amount. Is your view the same as before?

Yes, on my email it still has standard view. I wouldn't have thought to check that. So taxes it is I guess

I talked to a CM and wasn't able to get anything discounted at poly for 10/19-10/26.

About an hour and a half.

Same thing happened to me only I called at exactly 7 am and was on hold over 2 hours....I am Pissed.

 

[TJDisneymama]

I think the whole TA system has crashed - even for the CMs on the phone so.........
Is the regular WDW site working?

 

[KNovacovschi]

About an hour and a half.

Ok thanks.

We loved Coronado Springs! We usually stay at BC or BWI but when my husband and I went for our anniversary trip, we tried CSR at the advice of our TA. Beautiful resort! The buses were great. ( much better than YC/BC) we stayed in the Casitas. It's close to the lobby and it's the first bus stop when the buses return from the parks. We also loved the breakfast buffet at Pepper Market... All you could eat for 1 counter service credit ( even Mickey waffles . ). Though I heard a rumor that they got rid of the buffet .

You'll love it there.

Thank you! I am looking at it right now and it looks great! Just my husband and I so I was looking for a place with a romantic ambience and this seems to fit. I got a king preferred room so hopefully it is close to everything.

We are now booked at CBR, too, and we haven't stayed there in several years, so I plan to read through the CBR thread in the Resorts section on this board. A good place to start.

Enjoy your trip!

About an hour and a half.

Same here!

Also, regarding the taxes, my CM said, "Now, you may see an increase due to taxes.." but my total was the same as before.

The details:

Pop Century Resort, MYWP with FD
November 11-19
Standard View

2112.83 (5 day PH tix for 3 included)

My TA has been on and off hold all morning, and I'm going over every scenario in my head, so here's my question. I've tried the website but its not working....we are wanting to switch to POP, CBR or CSR BUT if they are all booked, what is the cheapest Deluxe?
