My TA finally emailed me. I had already booked CSR with dining for 10/18 thru 10/22. She modified my reservation and I am saving $640.00! I'm doing the Happy Danxe!

Got through and booked easily!!

Upgraded quick service to regular plan!!

Any idea why they blacked out the week after Thanksgiving this year? That't the week we're going. Is there a chance they may add that week in later?

Our week too. We received a pin. We were told that the week sold extremely well (big crowds and long lines coming up grrr), so it won't be included.

That was our week too, we've had FD that week the past 2 years. Unfortunately without it our trip would be about $1000 more than last year so it may be a no-go this year

they told me to call back in 4 hrs!

why?

I was on hold again...for about 30 mins. I gave up. Kids were going crazy, gotta start dinner. Will try again later.

Sorry everyone, I have not had any time to read everyone's stories or to update on here today. Between going through an agonizing 5 hour wait and the fact that I was at work and not getting much done during that 5 hours. I had to get things caught up. Anyway my wonderful TA got us the deal for all 3 rooms. We saved a bunch. Hopefully will get on after work and read everyone's stories and elaborate on mine more. Thanks to everyone for listening to all my whining through the months!! Special thanks to black who was right all along!!!

I know they say Disney reserves the right to change things, take away dates, etc. If I'm already booked with FD, it's mine to keep right? RIGHT?!?!?

Nope, you have to relive this exact day every day until your vacation.....staying on the phone, fretting about dates and resort choices. It's like a horrible rendition of Groundhog Day . j/k

Yes.....it's yours to keep.....all yours. It shall be yours and you can call it squishy

I saw my mail lady go by and for the first time in months, I didn't stop to pray there was a PIN for me. So glad booking FD is OVER for us!! Hoping for lots of pixie dust for those still trying!!!

Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside

October xxxx, 2013

4 Nights, 5 Days

Check in after 3:00pm, October xx

Check out before 11:00am, October xx

Moderate Resort Downtown Disney Resort Area

Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside-Royal Guest Room - Garden View

MYW Pkg + FREE Dining

That bottom line should tell you it's FD.

It won't say FD though if you upgraded your dining plan. Ours just says MYW dining. We are staying at POP so it would've been QSDP.

I'd love to be on hold I tried to call five different times today between meetings/work with no luck so far. I may end up just going with RO anyway at POFQ but was going to look into switching to maybe CS or another mod to get FD. Perhaps it will lighten up some tonight or tomorrow. Glad to see so many are getting the discounts they want/need and hope the ones still trying get theirs as well.

I think a chat is in order tonight....

Finally got free dining added to our package we had booked in March for POR Riverside. We had booked Royal Rooms standard view and had to upgrade to Garden View. We are so excited we got to keep what we wanted. Had to do a room only for Saturday and start our package on Sunday, but that's okay!!! My girls are excited about the Royal Rooms and I'm excited we saved money on our trip. Counting down the days.

It was completely worth the wait time (had to wait an hour then hang up to get to work). Called back for over an hour after getting to work before I finally got through. Had to wait another 1.5 hours and then due to the system running slow it took her an hour to get things changed and added. She was a great CM and I was happy she was able to help us!

Glad others are being able to get free dining on the dates they wanted too : )

I'm so happy for you ~ you definitely deserve it

 

[LetsDoDisney!]

Woohoo! Just called after running errands and got right through with no wait at all. Lauren was awesome!

I booked a 6 night stay this morning, but only wanted a 5 night stay. It wouldn't let me book a 5 night stay for some reason and I was worried that we wouldn't get a reservation at all so I booked it and paid the deposit on a pool-view because the standard room showed unavailable.

Lauren not only took off the extra night but changed it to the standard room and answered all my questions so easily it was awesome.

Now I'm excited, I've got the room and dining booked so NOW it's going to happen - still seems unreal until I actually book a part of the trip.

 

[TheRatPack]

Thanks Smitch. Relieves some of the worry.

Even during lighter booking times it has taken around 24 hours to get my confirmations before. I did a modification today and it showed up immediately on the online system.....so maybe it's just new bookings that are taking a bit today?

 

[Mom22girls56]

What's the price per day to upgrade from quick service to regular dining plan? I know it's been asked a billion times but I don't have time to look through all these pages. lol I think it la $19 for adults but not sure on kids??

[grinninghost]

Is there a number people are calling that doesn't result in 'we're sorry all circuits are busy now'? I've been trying off and on all day and that's all I can get!
