Do i give up on free dining!

[Dstigall]

I am so tired of calling! I have a reservation at CBR 10/4-10/11. Been trying to add 10/3 for free dining which saves us a lot! I have called 2-3 times a day... Do I give up? Will they extend free dining or have new deal on 8/8????

I don't know if there are any new deals suppose to come out but I would not I've up! Free dining for your stay is a considerable savings and welllll worth the time spent on hold, hitting redial etc.
hope it works out for you!

I'm pretty confident there won't be new deals. They've got room discounts out and FD has been out for a bit for the rest of he year.

Even after the booking date ends you can extend your stay if there is availability. It doesn't hurt anything to continue to call and see if there are any openings for that day.

I thought someone mentioned here that once you start hit the 45 day mark, you'll start to see some reservations open up. I know I'd keep my reservation till the last minute if I wasn't completely sure. People might start canceling once the know X is going to happen that week and reschedule or cancel.

Even if they had availability for 10/3 would it give you free dining at CBR?

I was just looking at the offer on Disney's website and it says:

Select Disney Moderate Resort Hotels:

Aug 31 through Sep 13, 2014
Sep 23 through Sep 26, 2014
Nov 20, 2014
Dec 12 through Dec 23, 2014

I don't see that 10/3 is a valid check in date for moderates for free dining. Disney deluxes had thru 10/2 and Disney villas thru 10/3.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

Regardless, the offer technically expires tomorrow (booking period ends 8/8) so might as well keep trying or checking online. Maybe they'll extend the booking period and expand the dates, never know.

Good luck.

I don't think OP could do that in this case. They are not currently booked with FD, so they would not be able to add the promo code once it expires.


OP, are there any other resorts you can book with FD?

 

[Dstigall]

Thanks everyone for help! Will try today and tomorrow!

 

[Dstigall]

No I tried. Only suites and then not saving.

I have a unique pincode and it includes 10-3; so, op may have the same.

I agree with the 45 day mark; because, all monies are due. Try at the 46 day mark, too.

Finally, people get ill and have to cancel within the 45 day mark.

Just keep trying. Remember, you booked without the free dining anyway; so, it's all a bonus if you get it.

 

[smitch425]

OP, did you add the room discount?

 

[Dstigall]

I wasn't able to get that either? I missed the two days it was available...sold out. Very frustrated! So no, right now I am paying full price for everything!

I was under the impression they had FD but were trying to add an additional day that wasn't available. But yeah, if they don't have it booked it wouldn't be an option.

Doesn't it expire today?

 

[Dstigall]

Yes I give up
