Has anyone successfully added a night to a free dining package?

[Mom21]

I have free dining from Sept 19-23 at Yacht Club. I wanted to add on the 18th. No go. So tried the 23rd. I can add on but no free dining (ok with me) and have to move rooms (not ok). Also by adding on the 18th I have no access to my 1 day ticket which I wanted to use to upgrade to annual passes. Anyway around this?

I added a day to the end of our free dining. It took several calls to get a cm who could do it. I booked with Disney before I booked our flight. After I booked a flight I called Disney to add a day. Several CM said no availability with free dining. Finally I got the nnight added with the free dining. This was still during the free dining period at mod resort.

We are going Sept 6th to Sept 9th and If I can not get a decent price on a Sunday flight I may try and add a night too.

I may just book a room only rate with the new codes that just came out. I won't need the free dining for that last day. We will probably fly home early on Monday.

I can't see why they would not let us just book an extra night without the package??? I don't want to have to switch resorts either.

Good luck,
Michelle

Its not an issue of them not allowing you to book, its whether or not the room is available with the discount. There are only a certain number of discounted rooms available at any given resort, and when they're gone, they're gone. If they're reached their quota of discounted rooms for your travel dates (whether its free dining or a discounted room) then the discounted room is no longer available. Free dining is nothing more than a discount

If you can't extend your free dining package try booking at the current discounted rate. Or you may have to change resorts for the extra night to get a deal.

You don't always have to change rooms with separate reservations in the same resort unless you're changing views (such as standard to preferred, or garden to water view)--you will need to mention it to the CM setting up the booking, and also discuss it with the front desk when you arrive so they can make a note. I've had three reservations at one resort... and never had to move, and that was on spring break when it was packed. You will have to check out of one reservation and check into the next, and have your room re-keyed. But it is entirely doable with little inconvenience.

Only time I've had to move is when they blocked my rooms for a large group. They offered to let me stay but I didn't want to be in with a high school band.
