Spent an hour on the phone today w/ reservations. I dumped my 2BD WL villa and split my reservation into 2. Got 2 courtyard view rooms w/ queen beds and FREE DINING Saved approx. $3K. they are offering 30% off room discounts as well but I was told it was only for courtyard view bunk bed rooms.... Not sure about woods and standard.

Stay dates are 11/10 - 11/18

Nice!!!

Woohoo - grats! I am so happy & excited for you. Perseverence pays off huh?

 

[HBGdancermom]

Tried again this morning and got POR for our nov dates with free dinning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! We should put a tag line on the thread....."persistence pays off". Lol.

No doubt! Enough to book another trip.

 

[Sylkie31]

Yes! We are very close. My DS plays a lot of LAX in Holly Springs/Fuquay. Are you a teacher? I think I remember that.

If you were waving yesterday we weren't here. We were trying to get home from Syracuse and our last flight got delayed from 8pm until 11:20. Got home at 2am. So fun with kids. Lol

Ah, so that's why you didn't wave back. LOL Maybe we could arrange a 'meet and greet' sometime.
I am assuming that LAX refers to some kind of sports rather than the Los Angeles airport?
Actually, I'm an accountant but I used to do substitute teaching in FL when the kids were growing up.

Still nothing for my dates. And still no response from my complaint.

Hi! Glad to hear you survived your airport ordeal and made it back safely!

 

[zamboniman333]

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! We should put a tag line on the thread....."persistence pays off". Lol.

For sure I have been checking 5 to 6 times ( or more but who's counting right) since the offer came out!! And then after what happened yesterday I wasn't going to check again this morning but my DW check anyways and got it for us!!! We were just happy to be going but getting our #2 resort choice (#1 being pofq) makes it that much better!!!!!! Just keep trying!!!!

 

[emsmommy323]

Oh please, I've had dining ressies booked for months, LOL! We've known we were going to do the dining plan no matter what, but this just makes it even better! So happy for everyone else who got POR today! It seriously is a huge weight off me!

Congratulations! If you miss your Disney stalking at anytime, feel free to stalk for 'Ohana for me! LOL I changed my dates from the first week in December, for free dining at lost all my original perfect reservations. : (

 

[emsmommy323]

Oh noooo! Luckily we didn't have to change our dates so the readies I've had for months didn't have to be changed.

 

[ALD85]

FYI: According to the POR thread, all of POR will have the magic bands starting 9/2-9/3.....

I'm glad to hear some availability opened and up and folks had some good luck this morning

People ask me how much planning & work I put into planning out a Disney vacation.

My answer: A Disney vacation takes more planning than needed for a day at the beach or park.....and slightly less effort than it takes to plan an ascent of Mt. Everest.

Congrats to all who had some success, and good luck to those still trying!

 

[zamboniman333]

So excited!!

3 nights resort and 2 day tickets.

The 6 night minimum was just an example on the website.....it's less see where someone replied to me above

Thank you for this information, it totally helped us to secure out one miscue date (10/18) that wasn't available when we book CSR with FD last week! I kept checking for our ENTIRE stay at CSR 10/18-10/25, but saw no availability. We were able to grab 10/18-10/21 last night and our TA "merged" the two reservations to get us 10/18 as well (we had a CSR RO discount on 10/18, CSR with FD 10/19-10/25, POR RO discount 10/25-10/27 = ugh, what a pain)!

Not POR, but ALERT I did just free up POR Royal Room, Riverview for 10/18-10/24 (didn't work out for us without 10/25, would have been $500 more and we'd be paying for the view that isn't important to us).

2 weeks after the official release and we are FINALLY good with what we got for Free Dining.

CSR 10/18-10/25
POR (room only discount) 10/25-10/27 - to get our POR fix

 

[ALD85]

When you check in at your resort do they put your park tickets on your KTTW card (or magic band) or give you tickets? Last time I was there I was a teen, so idk exactly how that part works.

Just cancelled POR royal guest room with garden view for December 12-15. Hope this can help someone!
