Got POFQ 8/27-9/4 $2113. 2adults 1ch under 3 and a 12y/o.9 day pk hoppers!AND FREE EATS!

Held on for about 25 mins. My CM was awesome! Really nice and helpful! Boy was I sweating when I told her POFQ! (that was our first choice).YAY Free Dining! YAY DISboards

The Lady I booked with just said that we'd all need to check in together. I didn't know if that meant we can't check in without us all present or what. Our reservations are linked and I payed for theirs with my Disney Visa. You think I'll only need to meet them when they arrive?

I believe they requested all guests be present at check in during free dining last year too -- to prevent people from inventing 'ghost' guests to get extra dining credits I believe.

I've been on hold on the 800 line since 7 am and it is now 8:20 !!!!!! Holding on the cell phone too since 8 and the Disney 407 #. Let me get through!

The wait is not nearly as bad this time as it has been before.

This time I have a high speed connection so I can visit with my DISer friends while waiting for the CM to answer.

It took me about 25 min to get through when I called at 6 AM CDT and I barely got off the phone in time to get to work. I just called and made all of my ADRs when I wanted too!

POP 8-31 to 9-9 standard view with travel and ME for 2 adults 2 kids and free dining park hopper without the water parks and with travel insurance was $1946 (I think, I wrote it down and left it at home).

Good luck to the rest of you! Now I have "yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me" stuck in my head after hearing it so many times!

I'm going back to Disney!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! I have done this before when booking more than one room and we haven't arrived at the same time. If they want to come in later, let them, you will be fine. OR, just check them in when you get there, not everyone has to come up to the check in desk.

I am still on hold. I've been on hold for 1 hour 25 minutes so far. This doesn't include my first 8 minute call where Disney hung up on me.

Probably all of those that are under the ressie number yes.

It shouldn't be an issue though as long as the rooms are all in differnet names. I just booked for myself and another family and paid w/the same visa card. She gave me different reservations numbers for each party so we can check in at different times.

 

[MAGGIED]

I just talked with my sister... she has been on hold for 1 hour and 15 minutes.... she is trying to book for her son and daughter-in-law for their honeymoon.... it will be a delayed honeymoon as he was deployed to Iraq right after they were married..... I hope she gets thru soon......

 

[Queen of 3 princess]

Called at 7:00. Didn't have to hold luckly. They asked if I had the Visa Card but did not ask for code. I already had a ressie at POR and they just gave me the same one. I had put deposit on a different card so they had to credit that and put the deposit on Disney Visa. Everything worked great.
The dis is GREAT. Thanks everyone

HLAuburn - Our paths will cross. We will be arriving at the Poly on Sept 15. Can I assume we will be cheering for the same team on on the 15th? War Eagle!

[XxStaceFacexX]

I'm looking to book for only 2 nights and have been on hold for 40 minutes, will I regret waiting? I heard somewhere that it was a minimum of 5 nights but I see others have been able to book for less than that.. Can someone offer me some relief?
