Anyone Book All Star Movies With Free Dining Recently?

[lovinpoohbear]

HI WE HAD BOOKED A PACKAGE FOR THE FALL AND HAD OUR HEARTS SET ON ALL STAR MOVIES HOWEVER, WE BOOKED ON JULY 3 (WHICH WAS THE LAST DAY TO GET FREE DINING) AND OUR TA SAID ONLY ALL STAR SPORTS WAS AVAILABLE WITH FREE DINING. ANYWAY I NOTICED TODAY THAT THE FREE DINING WILL BE OFFERED AGAIN. DOES THIS MEAN I MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTING ALL STAR MOVIES? IF I BOOKED THROUGH A TA, DO I GO THROUGH HER OR CALL DISNEY MYSELF WITH CONFIRMATION NUMBER? I'D RATHER CALL AND CHECK MYSELF BECAUSE SINCE PAYING FOR TRIP IN FULL, THE TA SEEMS REAL ANNOYED IF I HAVE A QUESTION OR IF I AVE A QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING.........ANYONE RECENTLY BOOK ALL STAR MOVIES WITH FREE DINING SINCE THEY REOFFERED THE FREE DINING AGAIN? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP...

You can always check out www.disneyworld.com. On the first page there is a link for the dining plan special, or just click here : Disney Dining Package and type in your dates and select the All Star Movies resort. It will tell you if there's availability, that way you'll know before you call your travel agent.

I booked all Star Movies with free dining for last week of August.

I believe the only two all star hotels that are left are the music and sports. Go to disney online and try to book it, but I think the only two options they will give you is the music and sports. We wanted the POP first, then the movies but settled for music for the 1st through the 8th of October.

Hi -

I would call Disney myself and verify that there are rooms available - then call your TA and tell them that you just spoke to Disney and they told you that they had the availability.

Since you originally booked with TA you need to continue with them...sorry they are being so bad. Four years ago we used a TA (AAA) and we had the same problem...I learned and now I do it myself. I have read on other posts that some people really like their Disney specialty TAs but I am too much of a control freak and like to do it myself.

Good luck!

I just booked Movies and free dining from 8/25 to 8/28. When I was checking it out online for 8/24/05 to 8/28/05 I could only get Sports or Music. I guess that one day I couldn't get off of work made all the difference.

im gonna try today to see if we might be able to get Movies for near the end of Aug to. we have been going the last 5 - 6 summers around that week. i wasnt sure though this year if wecould even go. im getting such headaches trying to decide............but also i have to decide cause my dd16 usually brings a friend, last summer we had 2 friends, 2 rooms at music. my dh and i would really like to stay at AKL , and my 2nd choice is CBR. i am dying to stay at either one. but IF dd brings someone, we go back to all stars. dont get my wrong , we have always had a GREAT time at asresorts, but i would love to try CBR this summer.also esp. with free dining. im still trying to figure out $$$ wise , we usually just do room only. this is such decisions, its driving me NUTS.............i just hope we get to go...........oh yeah...with the free dining we would have to run around more for supper meals right??? my head is spinning from thinking...............

As long as you check in by 10/4 you are good. We are staying 10/1-10/8 so we get the free dining for the entire trip

For 9/22-9/27, we could have chosen from POP, Music or Sports with free dining through a CM. However, we decided to keep our current reservation at Sports at $46 per night instead of paying rack rate to get free dining and have to buy passes through WDW. (We already have purchased two hoppers for kids and could only book free dining with adults in the room. Therefore, kids would not be included in free dining.) Anyway, we rush around too much in the parks to schedule ourselves (and three kids under 7) to eat all of that food. Trip #2 in 2005 underway for $700 to fly and stay onsite!!!!!
