I seem to remember someone looking for FD 9/25 at CBR... I remember this because that is when I'm going... Anyways- just wanted to give a heads up. There is a standard room available online 9/25-10/3 at CBR

Does anyone have a guess when the might be re-released into the system. We are missing the last day on our reservation & had to book a RO. Trying to decide if it's worth staying up until midnight or getting up early...

10pm tonight is what the agent told me. That TA's that put a hold on a vacation and hasn't paid will drop out of the system tonight! Good luck!

I'll give it a go. I'm starting to think I'll do anything for FD. I'm a zombie today after staying up til midnight & getting up at 5 to try...

Where/when are you trying to get?

But you would have kicked yourself if it came out and you didn't do that.
Wishing you Pixie Dust today.

I'm sure I'm gonna lose steam quick. I was wide awake until about 2:30am this morning. I just could not settle my mind. And this time it wasn't Disney related. Fingers crossed for all of you trying to change things around.

Does anyone notice if you play around with dates a room will show available for dates as part of a longer sate span, but not for just the dates you are looking for? For example, I was looking to see if i could get a POP standard room, checked our vacation dates 08/17-08/29, not available, so i started playing with dates, 08/15-08/27 shows one available, but if I look for 08/17-08/27 its only preferred rooms....it seems weird to me.

Really I should stop looking and be happy with my ASSp for the dates i wanted....My only hesitation is my son loves the ice cream window at POP, and ASSp does not seem to have this.

Good luck to those who are staying up to try for FD tonight! I had to get up this morning for my ADRs, and I just keep waking up and like, thinking I needed to start. I woke up at least once an hour. But I managed to get everything I needed. Hopefully whoever's on tonight does too! Sending pixie dust your way!

Me! I was looking for 9/26-10/2. I didn't see FD available, but I switched us to 9/25-10/2 and got a RO discount! Only saved $140, but got an extra night out of it! I'm still going to try for FD tonight, though. I have an alert set on my phone for 9:45pm!

Sarahplus4 so sweet of you to post when you see a standard at CBR. Everytime I see you post I look again. Looking for CBR 10/2-11/9 or 11/10-11/17. Right now have 2 standard rooms at pop 11/10-11/17 which will be released if we can get into CBR. I have a TA who is keeping an eye out but I figure 2 eyes are better than 1, just afraid if I see one by the time I email her it will be gone.

Unless you and your TA are constantly winking, you've got 4 eyes looking for a room.

Good luck!!

CBR Dec 20-27. I've got tbe 20th-26th. A few days ago I could get the 20-26 or 21-27. Now there's nothing that week at all. I'll keep looking though - I'm nothing if not persistent

Yes that happens to me. Last year you were allowed to book the longer stay and then call to drop off the extra dates. This year they don't allow that. Since I haven't seen any value resorts for my dates since last Monday, I'm getting more excited about ASSports just to try something different.

What ice cream window?

Just in the food court. He liked to get ice cream for his dessert, they stamped his reciept and he would get a make your own sundae. I liked the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches....yum!

 

[smitch425]

Mmmmm...Pop ice cream...mmmmm...

Maybe that is what is screwing up the system.

People holding more then one ressie. Don't flame me because I understand and would do it too.
People not being about to book longer and dropping the days they don't want.

Disney is going to be shocked when all the dust settles from this.

I feel sorry for the people that don't understand how this game works that are being sold the higher costing rooms, just to get free dinning.

 

[lauradis]

Please Disney has made it difficult to get through to cancel or modify any reservations. Since the release of the offer

What are the odds that POR with FD will open up for dates September 30th-October 8th? The TA we booked through hasn't really done anything to get us free dining besides call Disney when we told him POP opened up. If it wasn't for my sister and I looking at the Disney website everyday, we wouldn't have any FD right now. I'm hoping if it does open up, we can book it ourselves and then transfer our reservations over to AAA. Really regretting booking through a TA this year... Hoping for some pixie dust!

All star music had an ice cream station at their food court when we stayed there. We always got ice cream as the dessert. You could always walk over there if sports doesn't have it.

Edit: all ears menus list an ice cream section so you may be in luck.

I think they switched to gelato with the recent refurb. I am so hoping the all stars menu is accurate, but I don't think it is. It's not listed in MDE. I think when allears added the gelato, they forgot to remove the ice cream.
