YUP YUP!!!

although I was hoping it was a mistake that it comes out to only about $300 difference (I prev used the 20% off hotel)...but I did the math and it was right! Hey I can dream ..can't I? but hey I am def happy with a $300 savings!

Mine was a $1400 savings for my party of six ! I noticed they put the insurance on too, forgot to tell them not to.

You can have it from November 27th to the end of your trip. You'll just have to pay for the first three days. Half of my trip falls within the blackout periods too.

Here are some dates:

Booking and Travel Window:
* Booking Window: May 3 – Aug. 14, 2010
* Travel Window: Valid for stays most nights Aug. 15 – Oct. 7, 2010, Oct. 22 – Oct. 28, 2010, Nov. 12 – Nov. 18, 2010, Nov. 27 – Dec. 2, 2010 and Dec. 10 – Dec. 21, 2010

the guy told me no..I will call back

 

[crzy4my2]

OK..I called back and they said no. That what I would have to do is make 2 ressies. One with a check in date of 11/24 and check out on 11/27 and then another from 11/27-12/1 BUT it will cost me $1,000 MORE then what I am paying now!!

I'm sorry you've been getting a hassle, I don't understand why you're being told that. I had one reservation number before and after applying the free dining to only the first half of my dates (maybe that is the difference? ), I still have the same number as before.

Anyone else having the same problem? I'd ask for a supervisor.

Depending on the discounts that may apply to their first (complete) reservation, it is possible that free dining just costs more for them. There are instances where people are better off sticking with a deep room discount versus taking the free dining.

I don't have any discounts at all..so I am confused as to why the same trip would be more if I got free dining. was there a XX amount of Day/nights with the free dining?

Probably because you would have to make a split ressie. Then if you want to go to the parks during both parts of the trip you have to buy 2 sets of tickets. This would make it very expensive. Unless you already have an annual pass. Then you would only need the 2 day ticket required for free dining.
