Thank you. One question, where it said many dates blacked out, were the dates that followed the black out dates or the dates you could book?

Those are the booking dates, not the black out dates.

If you checked in between the 13th and the 20th, no free dining. So to get free dining for MLK weekend you would have had to check in on Friday at the latest.
