I checked out of SSR on Sept 3rd. No promos were given to me, in the room or a restaurant as some were reporting here. I happened to be channel surfing and saw the Goofy Ad on the Resort channel, saying something was cookin', so I called the number from my room phone.
First I just asked the dates, and told them I would call back because I had to talk to hubby about it. I called back a second time the next day to book thinking Aug 30 2008 was the Fri. before Labor Day, but it's Sat. (is next year a leap year???) I'll mention just as an aside right here that both CMs I spoke to were very unfriendly as soon as I asked about the offer and both made sure I knew that if I wasn't staying at a resort when I booked they would check and cancel, blah, blah, blah...

Ok, I get it, but you don't have to act nasty about it, sheesh.
Anyway, I didn't book it then, since I didn't have a computer with me to check the school schedule, but I'm going back on Fri. for Night of Joy and Race for the Cure

so I get a second chance at it.

I found out that my kids have a Mon and Tue off at the end of the
free dining dates, and I could check in either Sept. 26 or 27th.
I know there are lots of changes set for next year...Are they still allowing you to get the offer for the whole stay as long as you check in during the promo dates?
