No I still get the regular page... I can see 2 offers when on my phone, and 10 when in private mode or on my work computer... weird

 

[JennJ84]

Odd. I cant even get the page to come up!

Anyone know if RO discounts will be announced tomorrow as well ?

 

[tinkerbell87512]

In October 2017 the early 2018 room only discounts dropped after 8:00am so there have occasionally been times it’s dropped after 7am.

Hopefully tomorrow is NOT one of those times!!

Oh no I hope FD and RO drop long before then.

If I book with FD for 9 nights and end up needing to drop one night of the FD res to 8 nights, is that a problem to do later on?

That could be a BIG problem. When you go to make the change you have to completely rebook which means that it would have to be available for anybody to book those 8 nights under free dining in your room type, and to make it worse if you just cancel with the idea that will create the availability it won’t as it does not go directly back into inventory and may never go back in under free dining inventory. You are best off booking the nights you are certain you can be there and then if you need to add a night the worst case is you book it as a one night reservation and take the chance you might have to switch rooms; however if it’s same room type odds are you would not have to move. You would not get the FD for the extra night but that is better then having your entire FD package messed up because of an extra night that you cannot be there.

To try and book FD (with an existing reservation) do I just click" change" and then the options will pop up on my dining page but be no additional cost? Do I need to look somewhere else for the offer?

Decisions, Decisions....Tried & true POP or ASmo??? T-minus 5hrs!!!

Well, great, my "change reservation" button has always been there and seemed to be working, but now it has disappeared. Also, it says "Sorry, cancellation of this reservation is currently unavailable" by my ADRs. What the??

 

[Robn752]

On the offers page it keeps saying I am able to views offers for passholders. There are only 2 offers that come up. I am not a passholder. Any advice as to why it is doing this? Does this mean the FD link won't come through for me?

 

[elle325]

Has anyone stayed at AKL? Is it rumored to be included in the FD promotion?

No, but it is on my bucket list of resorts! We ate at Boma a few years ago and it was amazing! Gotta love that free dining

If it matters...word on the street is there are room refurbishments going on ASMo now until early 2019.

Yes - I booked there originally (Sept 2-10) not knowing and then got an email informing us to "Pardon the Pixie Dust"

In 2014 it released at midnight. So in 2015 a bunch of us stayed up and were bummed when it didn't drop at midnight. Went to bed and woke at 4:30 and it had just dropped! Same time in 2016 and then 2017 it was 5:30. So they really like to keep us guessing!

I remember that! I went to sleep thinking it wasn't going to happen, but set my alarm for a few hours later just in case and woke up about 15 minutes after it had dropped! Free dining craziness!

 

[madmeg]

Are we speculating that it is going to drop at 12am Pacific Standard Time?

There may be a few more clicks involved, but when you click "change," it will lead you step by step.

On the offers page it keeps saying I am able to views offers for passholders. There are only 2 offers that come up. I am not a passholder. Any advice as to why it is doing this? Does this mean the FD link won't come through for me?

Use a different browser, clear your cookies, try to go incognito mode....
