I was trying to price out a few ideas on the Disney site but kept getting stitch and Donald error messages.

We are still at CBR. We are traveling with another family and when we went to book Monday morning only Water View and Preferred rooms were available. Then yesterday I found Standard view rooms, which is what we wanted and I put 2 on hold for us so we could decide. Then this morning my friend was playing around with her reservation and she had the option to change it to Standard. So we changed our current reservation to Standard and now I have to cancel the two held reservations.

I am honestly surprised that there were so many Standard rooms that just magically appeared when there were none on Monday.

So a few days ago I sent Disney an email to make sure my email was on their mailing list because I never get emails from Chase or Disney. This is what they replied:


Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World® Resort.

Any offers from Chase would come in your billing statement from them. Unique Offer Code offers are randomly mailed or emailed to guests based on purchasing habits, geographical locations or other marketing parameters. As long as you have selected to hear from us, any of this type mailing would come your way if you are randomly selected.

Sincerely,

Bart

Ugh... the resort part of the website has been down for awhile now! Anyone else having any luck searching for rooms?

 

[BrookieM2001]

Sigh. now all i can get is Stitch.

 

[tlseege]

Stitch and Ralph. Bummer. Besides that, today has been a great day to get free dining rooms!

 

[Elsaalltheway]

I'm getting stitch.

 

[BrookieM2001]

Just went to the main site via google, and it says the site is undergoing maintenance and that to book or check availability to call. well, duh.

Same here - website is definitely in a mood.

We wore that poor website out this week! I'm surprised it survived the onslaught in the wee hours of Monday morning, only to run out of steam now.

Excellent point. The website has behaved incredibly well all week considering how crazy it's been.

I really don't think they released them all Monday! But I don't even care. All that matters is they released them

Question for AP holders..is there any indication there will be issues with unlinking the Park tickets that had to be purchased for FD this year? I ask because I booked two FD trips this year but I have an AP (no Value in FD if I cant use AP tix in place of MYW tix). I want to use the Park tickets from FD for a trip next year or later.

There is no way they released them all on Monday, they just like to play games with us!

I was honestly quite surprised to see them released today. I mean I snagged 4 of them (same resort, dates, category) and there were still more... On Monday, I thought it made sense for Disney to only release the higher priced rooms for FD because they have to make up there money somehow, and I was just happy I didn't have to go to Preferred because that would have really eaten into our savings.

I'm so happy it worked out so well!! It's pretty amazing how much room availability is changing!!
