Free Dining 2014 Discussion ~ Part 2

[mommyof3princess27]

Your reservation number and any other backup plan in case what you are currently booked doesn't have openings with the FD promotion. For instance, if you have a standard room booked but all standard rooms aren't available for FD, you'd have to pick a different room category or resort, etc. Not likely to be a problem if booking early, but always wise to have a second choice to give the CM if your first choice isn't available.

Good idea!!!

I took some hotel management courses and hotels do it all the time with blocking out rooms. They set aside a certain amount of rooms to a certain code for each resort. Visa holders had x amount set aside and Disney will open up the next x amount for the GP. People need not panic! Although be patient and kind with the CMs, and do have other resorts picked out as the category you may want may sell out quickly. Good Luck!

I plan to watch these boards all night ...

Thanks! according to the disney site, the only room the contemporary thats not club is theme park view (which we have booked) so that makes me even more nervous that they are going to go faster. If we have to change resorts it'll be ok, just seems the contemporary was more convenient with little ones lol.

Just reservation number and information! I was so nervous last Friday. Itll be fine. I can tell u to relax but i know u wont until tomorrow and everything is done

Thank you! I'm just so ready for it all to be done and to start booking adrs

Strange question- does anyone know if it's released online in the middle of the night, is the travel agents' site up and running the same time?

Its about $30 more a night and i believe it is almost like CL for deluxes. Just a little bit smaller CL room and a few less offerings

 

[mommyof3princess27]

I called and had a CM tell me u absolutely dont get anything like CL. It has a fax machine and desk. REally?!? Lol everything i read saidu do get a lounge like CL. She told me i was wrong

What are your dates? We are planning for Nov 16-21. At this point I have a backup for my backup plan . I'll be glad when tomorrow is over and I know exactly where I'll be staying. I'm hoping for AoA family suites, but would also do Beach Club or POR and just take a room discount if I can get it later on. My family is 3 adults, 2 children considered Disney adults, and a 2 year old. Here's hoping we all make it thru the morning without having nervous breakdowns

Our dates are Oct 1-7

I had a xanax ready last week LOL or better yet a drink

 

[cassiejo2711]

I already have my reservation so I shouldn't be nervous at all, but for some reason I am! LOL. I guess I'm just excited for everyone.

Last year free dining for Oct-Dec was released at midnight on the consumer site. It was not on the TA site until I think 6am or maybe even 7am.
