Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29
I am so sorry that there are people in this world that are immature and selfish enough that they feel that they have to tear someone down when they don't get what they "think" they deserve.
But I am so thankful for people, like you, that sees a need and shares it with everyone, not for your benefit but out of the graciousness of your heart so that we can all benefit.
Black, there are many ways to give a gift. It does not have to be something you can hold in your hands, but something you can hold in your heart or in your mind. You are one the most generous, giving persons for sharing the gifts of your time and your knowledge with all of your "friends" and Disney addicts here on the the Disboards. I am thankful for you!
I wanted to share some thoughts on a few things. I saw a post in a facebook group this morning that dug up some unpleasant thoughts that happened about a year ago. Most of you know what happened, so I won't get into that. However, I think something needs pointed out about this whole process. In my time here in the Dis, I have seen rumors and leaks for every promo, by so many different people, myself included. Some have come, some have gone, but all of them had one thing in common. No rumor...no leak has ever been 100%....not me, not anyone before me. Even those who have had actual leaked info from inside Disney....things always change at the last minute, and we all know this, and we've all seen this. But here's the shocker. It isn't about who nails a date first, or who puts out the information before someone else. This is about getting some information in front of people, so they can then ask questions and become prepared for when that day arrives. This is about everyone having their resorts, and backups, and everything planned out and ready to go. As you all know, knowing early gets you nothing on release day. Someone could see it online that morning and end up calling in ahead of you. The only thing this information does is allow you time to ask questions, get some answers and be prepared. Everyone in here have been so helpful in answering questions and getting correct information to the right people. I've always welcomed that (even putting a few folks on the spot a time or two). I don't do any of this for praise or worship, but rather because Disney World holds a deep personal connection for me, and I want others to have a chance for a similar experience. So whether the date is April 21, or May 1.....the important thing is that we are all ready for it. You've asked your questions, you've all been given answers, made your plans, ready to go. This post wasn't directed at anyone in particular, but there always seems to be someone out there who wishes failure upon others. We saw that last August unfortunately, but everyone here was so quick to let them know they weren't welcome around here. While I'm not here for praise, I think we all deserve respect. I just wanted to thank you all for one heck of a year.....and what's sure to be a wild ride to come. Now....where are those tights?
My cousin booked a package with the free memory maker. If free dining does come out, does she have to cancel her existing reservation and re-book with free dining, or can she just call and get it changed?
She can just call and change to free dining. If her resort/room type is not available, she will need to switch to one that is, so make sure she has a plan B in mind, just in case. Also, if she pays her package in full prior to switching deals, she will have to pay for the memory maker if she wants to switch.Just a question for all you lovely people
So excited!! we are planning for Sept 24-Oct 6th...free dining would make it EXTRA special!!!
We must make shirts! Who's good at designing?

)) I was on the DW website looking at several resorts and associating it with my dates and there are already several resorts that have no Standard or King rooms available at all for those dates 
with that being said, we all have to remember that Disney offers discounts/promo's/PIN codes to fill rooms and if they have resorts and room categories that are filling without a discount then they have no reason to include those in the FD promo. Also, if there are rooms that are already fully booked at a specific resort, then there is no "pool of rooms left to allocate for FD in that room category" and that is when Disney excludes that room category from FD at a resort. (hence, you are still able to upgrade to a higher room category to get FD in that resort because one room category is excluded as long as that specific resort is not excluded all together) same goes with date exclusions.
