2015 FREE DINING THREAD _ All Questions HERE!!

[totebagg]

I believe so as long as you are not on plan. We did one time back in 2010 no issues. My kids were little then

We have split meals on the dining plan so I know it would not be a problem without the dining plan.

I never even saw availability for music at all. I think we're all just talking about sports because of the few of us who chose that resort as the only alternative available to save money. Also I specifically asked for feedback on sports

Thanks that makes me feel better. This morning at 6am-ish, music, sports, and POP were available. I thought the jukeboxes were cute so I chose it. Pop was about $100 more. I decided I'd rather use that money towards MNSSHP.

Everyone keeps saying All Star Sports. I did Music this morning, are the rooms the same? My daughter's sports are taekwondo and gymnastics, it seems very football-ish to me. I feel like I am missing something.

I think that your daughter will love ASMu, Are you staying in a standard or preferred room?

Any other phone numbers I can try? Have been at this for over 3 hours. Am emotionally and physically exhausted!!! And....I'm booking for someone else.

I feel the same way. I've been trying to get through for more than two hours. I finally got something other than a busy signal and was disconnected after staying on hold for 30+ minutes (after being told it would be at least a 90 minute wait).

All I want to do is add the free dining to an existing Coronado reservation, but that is looking unlikely. I saw some availability online for Pop, but the website isn't working for me. I am ready to just cancel the whole thing. I understand that there is limited availability with the discounts, but it's just so frustrating that everything (mod) could be sold out less than a day after the offer has been released.

Has anybody been able to get through to ask about pin codes today for dates not listed?

I will definitely be booking BB offer this year when I'm there. I can't go through this again - LOL
But it was sure fun waiting it out with all of you. What was just going to be me and DH, with FD I'm bringing kiddos. Can't leave them behind with such a great deal. DH and I will need to wait yet another year for our getaway. Maybe when kids are all 18

I am with you. I just said that to someone, next time i'll be booking the BB offer!

I booked this morning for ASM for my trip (september 4-16) through Disney website but I'm triying to book to *** in standard room through my spanish travel agency and cancel ASM... not easy...

We were denied splitting at non buffet TS restaurant 2012 and 2014 but I think it depends on CM you get

Looks like you were at POR last year and now CBR this year! Just like us

Did I see someone mention the "silent wait" time? I'm finally on hold, I think, but there's no Disney music.

I DID IT! I AM THE KING OF THE WORLD! I officially have All Star Sports standard booked in lieu of POP reducing my balance from $3120 to $2744. Now I can be excited and unstressed! And thanks to all of you, I can be excited about the choice to save money instead of stay at our preferred resort!

So glad you got want you want...we had friends that had to switch to Sports last year b/c of FD and they really loved it! Now comes the easy part - planning the rest of the trip and counting down the days!

Thanks! Our family was dead set on CBR but when they only had availability for a Pirate room, I decided to book POP Preferred instead.

Would you be willing to quickly list some reasons why you love POP and why you like it better than CBR or other Mods? My kids are 16 and 13 and I'm concerned that they won't have fun; maybe they will feel out of place because they are older. I know my daughter will really miss the slide at CBR and I will miss the hot tub but it may be good to try something new. We stayed at POP for a few hours last year (in after midnight and out at the crack of dawn) before we checked into CBR so we really didn't have anytime to explore.

I need a pep talk - LOL.

we've stayed @ pop over 20 times and love it! our dd is 14yrs old and she loves the music from different eras thats playing. the foodcourt is great and big. the buses run smoothly cause it's just for pop. we wanted to stay in mod for free ts and to have something different and wanted cbr but have ressie @ csr, i'm going to hold off awhile to see if more rooms open up and my go back to pop and upgrade ts

It will most likely remain silent until they answer.

Just a standard room, we have to do Disney cheap

 

[totebagg]

Shhhhh...don't tell them there's a bridge. I've got these people thinking I can walk on water.

The bridge is for us meager mortals that do not have your superpowers!

The silence made me nuts i was so unsure if i was wasting my time or if i should hang in there lol

 

[alievans719]

Gosh I feel so lucky that I got it online this morning with no problems. Hopefully everyone's works out in their favor! I keep checking my confirmation to make sure I did it right because it was almost too easy this morning, especially after hearing the mess later!

I hear ya! I think that is how it is for a lot of us. The Calypso pool is really neat, shaped like a guitar and they also have the piano pool. ASMu has been my daughter's favorite value resort since she was little. she is now 16.

 

[kbsparks]

I need two rooms (family of 6). Can I just make two reservations online since I can't get through on the phone? Can I have them connected later? Will that interfere with dining reservations?

Ugh!!! I just looked and I could save an additional $500 if I booked at POP. I am so damn cheap, I really, really, really wish my family would be okay with POP

Don't hang up!! Somebody will be there eventually.
