There is somewhere to do room requests if you book online???

Yep, near the end.

At 6:55 a.m. I started the call, redial, call, redial, call, redial routine. I got through at 7:00 exactly, then waited 28 minutes for a CM. She was very pleasant and we updated my existing WL ressie without a hitch. I was so worried the WL wouldn't be available. Whew, after weeks of worry, wondering and Dis-posting. I could hear other CMs in the background and they all sounded to be in good moods.

Good luck to everyone - be patient. There seem to be rooms available!

LOL, I am loosing it. Beauty and the Beast was on hold and Mrs. Potts said, C'mon Chip, Off to the cupboard with you, and I thought that it was the CM

Okay, since I can't get through to the phone lines to ask a question, I figured I would try here...

It seems that I'm able to get the free dining and the place / time I want by booking online, but I have a question regarding tickets.... if I only get one ticket (magic / hopper, not sure of the description) now per person, can I go back at a later date and change that w/o affecting (effecting?) the price of the package, except for the obvious increase in ticket prices?

My sister thinks she *might* be able to get cheaper / discounted tickets through a work program or something.... but I can't get in touch with her at work, and would hopefully like to get this thing booked asap so I don't miss out on the free offer, the resort I want, and the time we are planning on going?

Hopefully that makes sense. Thank you!

Does anyone know how much it is to upgrade to deluxe dining? Has anyone done that? Online, it looked like it added 300 or so dollars. That seems like a lot!

 

[bdiddy]

I just got through at 8:03 - am booking now.

I believe it is $32 a day per person

 

[BabyPiglet]

I wish someone would pick up, I'm all worried now that they've forgotten about me.

Well, as this is now my second time in the que, having been cut off the first time by the CM, I have now been on hold 1hr & 8min & counting.........Grrrrr!!!

 

[tinaninea]

I feel better knowing I'm not alone.

 

[IggyLans]

Why don't you guys book online at Disneyworld.com? The offer is under Tickets/Reservations, and then Special Offers?

 

[Kaler131]

I started calling at about 6:55am....I got through right at 7:00am. I was on hold for 15 minutes and then I got a really great CM who was able to add the FD to my existing ressie at POP! Yea!!!! I was so worried that all of the packages for Pop would be gone.
Good luck to everyone!

I think they just threw the Tiki Room song in there hoping that some couldn't handle it and hang up.
