I was actually in WDW on vacation last May trying to get free dining for my trip in October. I sat on hold for 4 hours, got through at 1am! And by the time I got through, nothing was left for my week. Tried calling to book the bounce back offer two days later, still sat on hold for two hours trying to get through... And after all that, I lucked up and got a free dining pin code for our trip! Crazy!
Eastern Time or Central Time?
Eastern
Which is why I am perfectly fine with looking at other options, including offsite, to make it fit in my budget. I was hopeful that I could swing an onsite trip in December with FD, but it looks like I was just a year too late to do that, lol. Oh well. If I can pull off any Disney trip this year I will be thrilled!
The wait can be very long..I waited last year for a bit over an hour for a new reservation and my friend waited closer to 2 for her existing reservation.
I have a feeling it wont be a DV offer and just be a GP offer this year, I have no insider info...lol I just linda have that feeling. Hopefully something drops tomorrow!
When the GP comes out you can do it online.
If it means anything to anyone, usually companies create quite a few banner ads with different details listed (oten also changing graphics, colors and text). They run all the ads and see which perform better and adjust their ads and who is seeing what based on clicks and purchases from the link. It's standard in online marketing/ads. So, until we hear for sure it has to be six nights/seven days...don't get too set on that being the case
I feel like I am the only person who didnt book already....I hope I am not going to be sorry for not booking, we are a family of 5 and have 2 options for moderate resorts...and for free dining offers we usually have just 1. We have a certain buget to stay at or under in hopes we can make a trip every year...Deluxe resorts almost double our price for one trip and values I have to up the dining plan, which is ok, just have to see how it plays out I guess! Got a unique offer code last year with better dates for us and it included POR! Fingers crossed!

I know it is hard to believe, but you honestly do not have a disadvantage at all by not being booked ahead. Some feel that saves them a room, which IF they are willing to pay full price, it does, but it does not mean they will get free dining in that particular room category or even resort. So no worries, you will be fine. Good luck tomorrow!
