Good luck everyone!

Have a friend call me and tell me she called at 8 and was on hold 1.5 hours and CM told her she couldn't have the discount because she was staying past the 25th luckily she knew the policy and had the CM check. They really need to train a little better for days like this. Did they fix the website yet?

Nope, confusing verbiage still there and I bet they don't change it.

Remember, when booking online you MUST go thru special offers to get your discount.

 

[MommaBearof4]

I'm not seeing them online, what am I doing wrong??

Did u get it figured out? U have to go thru the special offers section. Hope it all worked out or u

And that massive hot tub at the pool area, which is totally cool too by the way.

and the delicious Mango Margarita at Siesta's Pool Bar.

Received my confirmation! Woohoo! Now to decide if I want to move to POR or POFQ. My main reason is the queen beds. Any opinions about which would be better for 7 and 9 year old?

Ill be right there!!!

We already had a character reservation for The Garden Grill (anyone done that one? is it good?) and that was going to end up being around $150, to upgrade to the DDP was $250, so we went ahead and upgrade and added a couple other TS ADRs so it was EASILY worth the upgrade cost to us for sure. I really wanted to go to Le Celier (sp?) and this is going to make it so we can afford that too. So, in short, if you want to have any TS or Character meals at all I would say it's worth the upgrade.

I know I am super far behind but YES! Garden Grill is our FAVORITE!!

Garden Grill is probably my overall FAVORITE! The dining experience is more intimate-you sit in a "u" shaped booth and cannot see the other diners-which means a lot less noisy. Outstanding character interaction! Great as a first place for young children who are more leary of the characters. They can be behind the table and between parents and they don't feel as though the characters are invading their personal space. Food is great too!

Forgot to mention it slowly rotates providing different scenery as you dine.

We love the rotating part!

FINALLY!!! After waiting an hour and 58 minutes I got 9/4-9/11 @ CSR with free dining AND a CRT adr during Wishes on 4/8!!! Life's good

YAY!!!!!!

My TA said that we got super lucky getting the standard room with FD - there were only a few available, and most people were being forced to upgrade.

CM told me Pop was almost out of Standard too... sorry I forgot to post that this morning!

 

[Sylkie31]

Whew! Got it!!! SWEETEST CM ever!!!! She said phones are all sorts of wonky so don't give up!! We got Pop!

Whew - I am so glad you got through monorail - grats! Does Gibbs get to go to Disney World w/ you?

 

[boundfordisney]

so a 1 hour wait on hold then since I have 2 other reservations that are linked to mine and that also needed to be modified and the cm was having computer problems was another 45 mins. until it was all a go for the free dining ! worth the wait though as it saved me about 1600 since Im paying for sil trip too!

 

[Clamesa]

Ill be right there!!!

I mean "And the delicious mango margarita Not I'm"

 

[Tarheel Mom]

No time to catch up on the 25 pages from today. Hope everyone got what they were looking for. Will be back on later tonight to TRY and get back on track. Only 2 to 3 more long months for November discounts.

I'm right there with ya ~ our trip is in November as well. It is fun, though, seeing all the excitement from the September folks! Hoping we get to enjoy this ourselves in a couple months

 

[Lazor460]

Same here - he has put a ban on me talking to him about my plans - specifically dining ones haha!! Told him he better not complain even one time about the plans I was making if he was going to ban talking abut it - and he was fine with that

Lol my DH is the same way! He is like do what you have to do...the problem is when we get there he will be like why aren't we going to this park or you should've booked that! Ahhhh! After a yr or more of me planning! I try to get him involved! Somedays are better then others depending on his mood! but I know he doesn't get my disney addiction like all of you!

 

[Malibustyle23]

Are two Disney Quest tickets included in the myw package? If so are there any restrictions on them?

YAY!!!!!!

Yep, Pop standard doesn't usually last too long. ASMo preferred will go pretty quick too.

Yes. You will get two single admission vouchers and they can only be used by the people on your reservation.

 

[Stitch Waffles]

I tried at 7:00am but due to technical difficulties and my need to go to work I had to wait until 9:40. About 45 minutes on hold. Just had to change from pool view to garden view at POFQ and we are all set for free dining Sept 22-27!

 

[Malibustyle23]

Awesome thanks so much! My husband and son will be excited that those are included.
