My TA informed me to not count on PORFQ for FD that no rooms are available as they all went to the pin group.
Is this for real?

If you already have a room booked, would there be any problem to applying free dining to your ressie?

One more movie question - do you need to bring a blanket to sit on? or can we use towels from the hotel?
Thanks! We're getting excited!

If an offer comes up for the same resort, sure you can do that. You might need to change room category though, as they will sometimes link offers to specific booking categories only.

Can't comment on the timing, but if you book a room-only reservation, you have to put down one night's rate as a deposit. If you book a package, you have to put down $200.We are looking to stay here next June. How soon should we make reservations? Will June get booked up soon? Do we need to put money down when we reserve a room? We are still paying for this summer's DLR trip (the credit card bill hasn't come yet) and so I don't want to pay anything yet if we don't have to.
I don't know what's going to happen as far as the new (rumored yes, but I believe it will happen) FD offer for Fall goes, but I had a standard view room at POFQ booked before FD was offered for September and had no problem having FD applied to my reservation.

Ok, thank you sounds like about $200 either way. I'd still love to know how quickly it fills up for June if anyone else knows.
How late is the pool open at POFQ?? Is there a height limit on the slide???
Also - we have ADR at the POR Restaurant - is it good???
I just had to share my excitement.....my mom and I have taken an annual mother/daughter trip for the last 10 years since my dad passed away. With the exception of one really tightly budgeted year where we went Value, we have stayed at POFQ for every trip. We absolutely love it there and don't ever want to try anywhere else. We had planned on skipping this year for financial reasons, but decided to throw caution to the wind and book for the end of September to get FD. By the time we made the decision, POFQ was all booked up for FD packages, so we went with the only available Moderate, Caribbean Beach. I tried to get psyched about it, but deep down I was pretty bummed. I read up on that resort, and while the grounds look beautiful, the double beds and the blah interiors were not ideal. Neither were the multiple bus stops. I checked POFQ availability multiple times a day for about 6 weeks and finally gave up. Then last week when the Fall/Winter FD rumors started, I thought I'd give it another shot because people might be changing their plans, and VOILA! POFQ availability for my original dates! I called immediately and basically said to the CM as soon as she started with her pleasantries, "OK, I know I'm being rude but please please go right to your reservations screen and secure the POFQ FD room I just pulled up online before it disappears!!!" Thankfully she completely understood my bluntness and we both cheered when she found an opening for me. I didn't quite realize how down I was about booking Caribbean Beach until I secured POFQ, but now I'm completely excited to go!
