2016 Free Dining Watch ~ Part 2

[prettypatchesmsu]

And we're back up! Hope everyone is getting what they wanted! Wow, the rooms are really limited, they only had All Star Sports as the only value with a room available during our dates. So glad we had the BounceBack at Pop! Not seeing a lot available during our time period, I hope you are all doing ok! This is worse availability than last year!

We got it! Pop wasn't available for our dates, so I booked All Stars, but who cares, we're going to Disney World!

 

[anneboleyn]

Got it!! I also got a $200 refund which will be used for the MNSSHP tickets, whenever they become available

I had a blast on this thread with all you lovely people It was like our own DIS slumber party lol

Thanks everyone for the info, especially Joe Black and Dirty Steve. Got WL after Thanksgiving. Will be first time taking my family to a Deluxe resort. So exciting!

Went online right as this went live to get POR RO discount for end of Oct. Only availability was the royal rooms. Hopped over to CBR to see if anything there and only pirate room available.

I hope they release more inventory. I do not wish to stay in either of those. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a UOC.

Hope everyone else had better luck! It was fun watching it all go down!

Had to book a pirate room as it was the only thing available for mods in my dates... Debating just booking AsSports and upgrading dining... It would save about $1000... But I'm really nervous about the All-Stars...

I'm kind of debating stuff myself. Currently booked at CBR 11/28- 12/8 w/ FD but if I switch to POP from 11/27 - 12/8 and upgrade to DDP - saves about $660 and gives us an extra day. But I'm not sure I want to risk it but have heard good things about POP too..

I wanted All Star Music but got Pop instead. Too bad we can't trade lol

POP in December looks like it's sold out. That was fast!

CBR standards are gone too for Dec.

Did you already have a reservation?

Got It!! At first it gave me a message that my room type was unavailable (CBR - standard view 5 person room) but I just started over and got it.

Saving $1013 - not too shabby plus we are finally going to cash in those Disney Visa points making our total only $2762!!! Now I can really get excited for the trip and start obsessing about dining reservations.

I was following this board until the wee hours of the morning! My sister and I and our families are staying on Disney from August 27 - August 30. We were trying to book Caribbean Beach (mostly cause I have stayed there before and my kids love it), but had no luck. We were lucky enough to book Coronado Springs. My question is, if I happen to see availability at Caribbean Beach, do I have to cancel Coronado Springs first? Or can I have two reservations for the same date? I'd be nervous to cancel in case either my sister or I couldn't get it.

I got my reservation! POR Alligator Bayou river room. There were no standards or preferred rooms for my dates and both were showing available last night. Currently CBR has all room types available for my dates in early Sept. I hope I don't regret choosing POR over CBR. We have stayed at CBR before but not POR.

Overall very easy. Website worked great!

I got my reservation an hour ago but now can't sleep. It's 3:30am in the mountain time zone!

It all went as we said. August 23 was the date, just like we said it would be. I kinda feel sorry for folks in the other board that got misinformation.

Did anyone else notice how they stair stepped us down on the room discounts? Other than that, it all went the way it was posted here. Hey, they even discounted campsites!!!

I did hear that, from the beginning, availability is very scarce.

Thanks again Black and Dirty Steve! You helped me get free dining in 2014 and again this year. Got exactly what I wanted 3 standard rooms at POP with upgraded dining.

Now I REALLY need to try to get some sleep....

I keep getting an error at final checkout!!!

I haven't laughed that much in awhile.

 

[anneboleyn]

Thank goodness we get to avoid the insanity that will be the phone lines in an hour and a half. Altho I do plan on calling just to hear what the wait times are lol

 

[WeLoveLilo05]

Quick question, for my sister's resort reservation, it allowed me to change it and it all went through. But when I click on Reservations and Tickets it shows the old R MYW Pkg + Quick Service Dining as her package. The price is right, and if I click on details, or try to change it again, it shows free dining. As did the confirmation email. Is it okay, just a glitch? Should I call today or just leave it. I hate to be caught in all that phone traffic if I don't need to be...

I think they happened to me last year? I would call, maybe not today bc it will be crazy, maybe tomorrow and see. They would have to honor it right?

Me too! POP availability must have been really low. Had to go to all-star also but I got it! Good luck to everyone else. Keep trying!

 

[The Dirty Steve]

Hope everyone has found their needs met by the offer that rolled out!

 

[kellyjeanie]

Thank you Black and Steve!! I got exactly what I wanted-CBR standard room with free dining from 11/26 to 12/3!!! So excited!
