Yikes! For several reasons, it looks like we're going to have to reschedule our 11/14 trip, most likely to December. We don't have trip insurance. We had booked 8 nights at Pop with the upgrade to the regular dining plan for $2516. Trying to find the best alternative.
The only valid discount I see is Play-Stay-Dine, but since it would only be available 12/14-12/22, and rates are higher then, we'd pay about $650 more for the exact same trip (ouch ouch ouch!). Also concerned about crowds that week - thinking earlier in the month might be better...?
Looks like there was a room-only discount for earlier in December, but I guess we can't get that now since we're past the promotion.
I can call Guest Services in the a.m. and see if there's any availability on our FD promo code for 12/12-12/20 (they let me move it once before after the promo expired, since we already had a package with that code), but it will probably still be quite a bit more and, again, crowds.
My parents are traveling with us and have PINs that would help but they'll be staying in an RV at the campgrounds, so I'm assuming Dis won't let us use their code, even though they're booking a package...? They might arrive a day or two later than us, too.
What am I missing? How much of a penalty will we face since we're only a week out? Any other ideas or options? What would you do?
Thanks, all!

) the week before would overrun the place. To top it all off, I'm trying to plan around frequent flier mile availability. My head may explode before this is all planned.
