Free dining quota reached-- what to do now?

[jthelman]

I tried to get the free dining, but apparently they are "sold out" for the villas at wilderness lodge.

The CM suggested I check back to see if anyone cancels.

Today's call cost me 45 minutes since they had problems with the reservation system.

Is there a way to check/enroll in the free dining *online*? I don't have 45 minutes per call to constantly check back with CM madness.......

Suggestion welcome, thanks in advance.

You can definately book "free dining" online (or the 40% off pin if that works better for your family.)

Just go to www.disneyworld.com . When you're on the main page, scroll down to the bottom...you'll see a box that says "free Disney dining plan". Click on that. It'll take you to the free dining offer page. THen just click on "check availability". Then all you need to do is plug your dates in, # people, and then under advanced search, you can choose the specific resort or resort category.

if you get what you want, you can then just book it online. It'll let you buy your park tickets, upgrade the free dining to deluxe dining (and then you pay the difference).

The only thing is, if the resort you want is booked for the free dining, it'll give you alternate options. There's only a certain # of rooms set aside for the promotions, so if you want the promotion, you may want to consider another resort. (or different dates)

Good luck, and I hope this helps !!

Do use the on-line to continue checking, and you might try the other villa resorts...Saratoga Springs is beautiful, and both Boardwalk & Beach Club are excellent resorts - and oh-so-convenient to Epcot & DHS.
