Free Dining 2014 Discussion ~ Part 2

[charzywarzy]

Ha I think we may all be similar in our planning! This is the only place I can admit to my calendar, spreadsheets, etc for our trip! My "friends" still don't understand why I'm not renting a house in Orlando and going to Disney for a day or 2! Aaaugh!!

come, be safe among our calendars, spreadsheets, sitting on the phone for 2:17 for FD it is difficult for "them" to understand!

We stayed there for 2 nights one year and the rooms and resort are nice. The biggest problem I have is that they are the only mod left with full size beds. I have heard they are going to refurb to queens but haven't heard when that will start. If you have kids, they have a great water play area for them.
We have stayed at every mod except POFQ and wanted to try it this time but since it wasn't included in promotion we went back to our favorite mod, CSR.

We loved POFQ. Luckily we have a preferred room at CBR so it should be manageable. The pool area does look great for my 7 &4 yr old. Any tips would be great!!!
Still hoping maybe POR or POFQ will open up with FD.

I got through!!

Then promptly hung up on her in my panic to turn the speaker phone off.

It's not my day.

OK..then I'm hoping we can add the package for the 10/26-11/1, even though we are arriving on 10/24......would we have to change the ADR's we already have?

Maybe since we already have ressies, I can hold off calling to let the folks trying to get rooms through......let things slow down a bit then call in.

no ADR's need to be changed if you will pay oop for the first 2 days.... we cancelled a few because your dining doesnt start until sunday

Was on hold for an hour and a half but we are in! Lion king at AOA Couldn't be happier.

I must add, Disney has perfect timing - laid the baby down for a nap and within 20 seconds I had a CM. lol

CBR 9/19-9/26. Hope I'm happy. I really love POFQ. Never stayed at CBR...getting mixed reviews...ugh! turning into a Disney fanatic

We really liked CBR, but I'm not a huge FQ fan (theming) so take that for what it is worth...

Called right at 7:00 am sharp. I was only on hold for 13 minutes!!! Added FD to my exisiting reservation at BC 9/6-9/13. Got confirmation email about 30 minutes later.

 

[BuckeyeMickey]

Seriously?? ASSports is booked at that time??

We were trying for 2 rooms adjoining and that wasn't available. I'm sure one room is.

Since POR is out we went with Coronado, business class.

It's going to be tight with 5 of us, but we'll make it. I was REALLY wanting the extra pull-down min-bed for my 2 year old. Oh well...

 

[chrishem1972]

I called the same line.. Exisiting res as well....

 

[doberlady]

Has NO one booked the Contemporary????

wondering if the garden wing is included

 

[LindseyLou2222]

Are all of us on hold for 2+ hours the ones that chose to change our reservations?

 

[sbarisch]

The CM said that you can add it when you get there but it's more expensive then. You get a slight discount for adding ahead of time. I think Memory Maker is the same as pp+.....just a different name.

I believe it's $149, if purchased in advance, but $199, if purchased there...
