Fall 2016 planning (continuation of 2016 Free Dining Watch)

[margievis]

Ok- my ADRs-(and I was lucky enough to get all of the ones I wanted- in fact I have one too many after scoring the BOG dinner-since I did my ADRs about 10 days late, because we moved our dates up for FD and my kids' fall break. Didn't get the FD yet, but I will make it happen for them somehow-with or without it.):

10/2 1900 Park Fare (b) F&W snacks rest of the day
10/3 CP (b), BOG (d)
10/4 Minnie's Halloween Dine Fantasmic pkg
10/5 Cape May Cafe(d)
10/6 BOG breakfast, Ohana (d)
10/7 Tusker House (l)
10/8 Akershus (b), Coral Reef (d)
I'm super excited for these- only TS we've done previously was Hollywood Brown Derby OOP.

Your dates and choices are similar to mine, but just different enough that we won't be competing for ADRs! My ADR day is May 19th.

I'm thinking BOG, but for early breakfast, and Tusker House, but for dinner. Also, an 'Ohana brunch for our day off from the parks. Probably Minnie's Holiday Dine, too, even though I've been warned of the food at H&V (we'd go for the holiday experience).

Oooh, and Princess Storybook Dining for my daughter. What do you think about that instead of CRT? I just don't want to use 2 credits on CRT when what she cares about most is seeing princesses... which she can do at Akershus.

I would do Akershus. I enjoyed CRT but my girls were just to distracted by everything going on that they really didn't eat anything.

Well, 12:01 and all the inventory looks the same for the first week in October. Guess I'll try again tomorrow!

 

[sommergirl25]

Yup.

 

[Iowamomof4]

Nothing new for my dates.

 

[SJSloan]

Ok, so who was it that said they were from WV again?

Me!

Me too!

 

[SJSloan]

Does anyone know how long it takes for Disney to credit your Amex?

I cancelled my bounce back offer online, and then a pop up said that I had to call to cancel, but that reservation is no longer in MDE. I'm so confused. Maybe it is cancelled?

I'm not sure about how long for a refund, but I had the same issue. Tried to cancel my previous reservation twice and each time it said I had to call. But then all of a sudden it was gone from MDE. Haven't received a refund yet. If I don't in the next few days I'll call.

My ADE date is 6/19. We are traveling with another family and there will be 9 of us in total. A little nervous about making a reservation for 9 because my test runs haven't go so well. But here is our list:

BOG - L
1900 Park Fare - D
Tusker House - B
Garden Grill - B
Rainforest Cafe (AK) - D
Whispering Canyon Cafe - D
Minnie's Holiday Dine Fantasmic package
50's Prime Time (maybe)

Glad I found everyone again! Good luck to those who are still trying!

Ended up with FD at ASMu but wanted POP.....will keep my eyes open. We like Music,but love POP.

They should send a cancellation confirmation, but I guess they don't. I tried calling last night, but I couldn't get through.

woo hoo I found you guys! I was getting worried....it wouldn't let me post on part 2 or 3!

I had cancelled online.....it said to cal and but it disappeared from my MDE....finally got through and the CM said they had been cancelled and should have received a cancellation email. I did not but she said it was cancelled and should be receiving a refund on my card. I cancelled the same day I made it, so not sure if that made a difference as I know with my business, the cards are actually settled the next day and if cancelled on the same day it just never goes through.

Thanks! I feel better knowing that others have had the same experience.

Who has made their ADR's for their fall trip already? What did you get? And what are your favorite meals at "the World?"

I did mine at 180 days out so I could get what I want! lol
Tutto Italia
Tusker House
Ohana-breakfast
Ohana-dinner
Liberty Tree House

 

[Attracted to Beasts]

Yep! My ADR date was April 3, so I've had mine for a while! I couldn't wait till FD dropped to try to get my things cause I wanted a lot of highly sought after things... so yes, I'm one of those who hogs the reservations, but I blame Disney!

We are booked at-
CRT
1900 Park Fare (breakfast and dinner)
Ohana
Boma
Tusker House
Akershus
Hollywood & Vine (Minnie's Holiday Dine)
BOG lunch
BOG breakfast

I'm on a hoppin' FB group that I'm probably not allowed to mention here. It's HUGE and for.... junkies.... anyway, the head guy there is always eating at the Whispering Canyon Cafe and I might switch one of my ADRs for that... because it really looks delicious and I think they would embarrass the crap out of my kids

I hog them too! I have double reservations on my account and my moms because they are coming as of now but may have to cancel last minute due to caring for older relatives and I have reservations for september/october since those were my back up dates! we were going to do whispering canyon too because we were originally staying at WL but now were back to Liberty Tree

He doesn't have the complete breakdown but this can get you started.

thanks, I missed that. October was there on April 4 so figured next week for November, this gives me something to start with

we've done 1900PF, great Princess interaction and the stepmother/sisters are funny.

Totally off topic but has anyone golfed while there. My DH and DD are taking their clubs and I was wondering how easy the taxi service from the golf courses work.
