Free Dining 2014 Discussion ~ Part 2

[SillyFamily]

Are the csr club level rooms included in the free dining? Any room type restrictions at other resorts?

not that i know of, but cl at csr seems to be just as exspensive as most deluxe you might wanna switch resorts

 

[charzywarzy]

Not yet, they've just put up the dates (wrong one, but dates!) I had previously heard they go on sale on May 5.

Fellow travel agents - how long have you been on hold? I'm now showing 3:40:37!

Yes, they are included at CSR. Don't know about other resorts other than POFQ and POR are excluded from FD. Club level at CSR was $30 more than a preferred room at POR for six nights in September! Excellent.

I'm happy happy happy!!!

I kept getting the busy signal or all circuits busy for about an hour, then got thru, did the voice prompts and had settled in to hold for as long as it took and BAM! within 3 minutes I was talking to CM Olivia who was happy, helpful and made all my Disney Dreams come true!!!

Funny note: I asked for our dates Oct. 28 - Nov 3, and she said the free dining was only through Oct. 3, that the disboards had the wrong dates (haha). So I asked are there any dates available for free dining that include Nov 3 (my son's actual birthday) and she said 'oh I am so sorry, I was mistaken, the dates of Oct 26 thru Nov 1 are included' She was really sweet!! She was kind enough to explain a lot of the changes from when we were there 3 years ago and was just incredibly helpful. I thanked her for sounding so happy, and she said that just made her day!

When I told her we were thinking of doing a character breakfast on DS's birthday, she transferred us to Disney Dining and I made our res for Chef Mickey's.

So we will be at Pop Oct 28 - Nov 3, preferred room, 5 day park tickets, memory maker and FREE DINING!!

Thanks to all on here who let me know about this and have been such a valuable source of information and encouragement!!

Fellow travel agents - how long have you been on hold? I'm now showing 3:40:37!

4 hours 10 minutes.

Seriously, BOTH Moderates were sold out for 11/20-11/28 already?! Boo!!! Those are our dates & I was hoping to book Moderate when the GP offer is out as I don't have a DV

The Visa and General Public offers are two separate offers.. both have a number of allocated rooms so they aren't sold out completely!

 

[ifjf414]

Mine did too. I called the help line. She assured me i did

Is all this web traffic effecting people in the parks who are trying to make FastPass+ reservations and changes?

 

[Later_Mater2009]

I want to hear from you families of 5 like me, what did you get and are you happy??? I can hear crickets over at POR ....

 

[Corrie76]

Has anybody been able to book FD for dates between Nov. 15-20?

 

[estephenson]

Yes, they are included at CSR. Don't know about other resorts other than POFQ and POR are excluded from FD. Club level at CSR was $30 more than a preferred room at POR for six nights in September! Excellent.

that's what I was thinking , if we are planning on doing preferred might as well go all the way to cl! Still quite a bit cheaper than deluxe for my dates

 

[jlhill4444]

I got through after about a 5 minute wait. Booked GF Sept 29- Oct 5 with free dining. Very excited!!

 

[LJKK]

My TA finally got through! Got CSR business level (standard was gone). The perks will be nice with the breakfast, drinks, and snacks available though so we're happy!

 

[mkillian21]

Got a CM right away after answering the questions! Yay!

CSR 11/1-11/9

Have stayed at all the mods, but mostly CBR. Haven't stayed at CSR since 2007. Kinda nervous....but my son wanted to give it another shot.
