I am asking for a friend, but if you book through AAA can you call Disney and modify or does the AAA agent have to call like booking through other TA's. They don't open until 8:45am and she is worried she won't be able to take advantage of this offer.

AAA is the same as any other TA, they own the ressie so your friend can't modify it

That is what I thought! Thank you! I did tell her that but just wanted to clarify.

it looks like they are making you get a park hopper or water park option with your park tickets. geez, every year they are chipping away at the offer.

happy I booked the bounce back last year, August 28th is too late for us, and we are at POFQ.

Agreed. For us it was going to add another 200 to the price of the trip... Didn't seem worth it. We are trying to get a Room Only discount instead.

Well, it doesn't look good for us. I can't add FD to our reservation online as I'd hoped and it's a 2.5 h wait on the phone. I'll wait a while but it seems there is nothing left at CBR already. We'll see.

This deal is interesting. Aren't they starting later this year? Usually the last week of August is included, isn't it. (We've never done free dining since it doesn't fit my family's habits.) We are scheduled to go the last week of August with a room only code. I was worried it might be busy with free dining people, but now it doesn't look that way.

And adding the park hopping/water parks requirement is new too. Isn't it? That is another way it doesn't fit our touring style. So no free dining for us.

last year FD started on August 31, but yes in years past it usually covered at least the last week or so of August. Yes, the hopper or water parks requirement is new this year.

I am very happy I checked here this morning. I was expecting a Disney Visa email, so I was surprised to see the deal online. We were planning to arrive on 8/28, so we really hit the jackpot.

I booked an AoA suite and upgraded to the regular dining plan first thing this morning and it was so fast. I hope everyone else gets what they want!
