[TraceyL]

It went online just after the DIS went offline..

I'm.booked - took.several attempts, kept saying an error had occurred and to try later. I persevered!

Nothing available at Pop so went with ASSp. May upgrade from QSDP to DDP later

Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Got an email from my TA - she got me the offer for our Grand Floridian stay in September!

 

[Mandoo]

Thank you so much for all of your information Black and Steve!! This was my first year joining the free dining train and I managed to snag the dates and resort that we wanted! I don't think that would have happened without everyones posts over the last few weeks.

No availability at POP or Coronado last week of September, been trying since 5 am. It actually looks like only ASSports is available for value this week, Sept 25-30.

I feel like I just ran a marathon, but heck I did it! Too excite to go to sleep now. Totally worth it though

 

[kellyjeanie]

I will be there then also!

Woo hoo!!! Quite a few of us there that week, hopefully we can plan together

I am able to do a new reservation - but I have airfare tied into my original one? What will happen with airfare??? Am I messed up w/ that?

Nah that happens pretty often. Just give Disney a call tomorrow (today is probably going to be a nightmare in terms of phone wait times) and they can update your info

Pop or Coronado for only a little over $100 more??? It will be me, hubby, and our 3 kids. We have stayed at Caribbean before and my husband didn't like how spread out it was and the number of bus stops. Is Coronado the same way??

Yes, even more spread out, it's a huge resort.

I'm curious to see how things shake out over the next few days.

We are going 9/18-9/24 and the only mod with standard rooms available for those days was CSR, nothing but pirate rooms available at CBR. So we switched, still hoping for CBR but I am not disappointed with CSR.

Not a lot of sleep, nightmares of missing it when I was napping but.....
Got exactly what I wanted 12 days in September in CBR and got a standard room! Now to spend that on Halloween party whenever that comes out! Thank you black and Steve!

Yup. I wanted pop but booked ASSp 23-28 Sept. Caught it a few minutes after it went online too

Maybe we have to give inaccurate information and guarantee it to be 100% confirmed to be thanked while sipping?

Sorry, lack of sleep has me being a bit whimsical today.

Honestly, if I wasn't online checking obsessively, I would have missed out and I was online thank to you. FD is worth over $2500 for my family so THANK YOU I'm still on a high. I'd pour you another scotch if I wasn't on the other side of the world.

 

[anneboleyn]

So as fun as this was, so help me God, I AM BOOKING A BOUNCE BACK OFFER WHEN I GO IN SEPTEMBER.

I will sleep much easier knowing that free dining is already taken care of lol

 

[kaymil]

Everyone's excitement is making this even more depressing Someone tell me there might still be hope that availability will be added. I was hoping maybe it was just an online thing that I was seeing so little availability, but it sounds like it's not a fluke. Apparently I just have horrible dates.

 

[MickeynMinnie]

Went on just as it went live too!! Got 2 rooms at Pop for the week of 9/23!! Just what we wanted... Last night while I was up waiting made some dining reservations in hope that we got our dates! Everything worked out perfectly! Now to book our flights and we are all set!!

 

[Disneylover99]

Did anyone get a standard, garden or preferred at POR?
Right now I booked CSR with a standard.

 

[tlcdoula]

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

Thank you so much. No staying off site for our trip!!!! Disney here we come!

Im in the same boat. Looks like I am going to have to call at 7 or take ASSports.

 

[heath92681]

I will be there then also!

Me too!

 

[mlunsford]

Thanks so much Black and Steve! We scored our preferred rooms at Coronado for our Christmas vacation. I plan to watch to see if business class opens up because we would love it. Super excited because FD is HUGE savings for our family of 7.

I had no issues right at 4am, everything went smoothly with both of my reservations.

Thanks Again!
