If I book free dining through Disney's 1800 # 2 deposits or 1 for connecting rooms?

Just wondering - I want to book and can only do one deposit for our family's reservation right now. I know it's separate if I book online, but will they just charge one or two if I book by phone?

I have had both happen so probably not much help here. LOL We booked one room last year and then a week or so later added a second room. We only had to pay the deposit for the one room ($200). But this year, we booked two rooms at the same time and had to pay the ywo deposits. ($400) So, it may depend on whether you book both at the same time. HTH Rebecca

WE booked two connecting rooms in Dec 05 and only had to pay 200.00 for both. Then last week I booked 2 rooms and had to pay 200.00 each. Not sure what the difference is!

Last trip paid one deposit, this year w/ Free Dining a deposit on both rooms. I paid one already and now have to pay the other by June 1st.

When I booked a few weeks ago, I was told I would need to pay $400, 1 deposit per room. When I called back to pay, I was told to pay $200. I told the CM what the original CM had told me. She said, "Oh they must be fairly new. They tend to get confused on that. One reservation, means one deposit."
I paid $200. Hope I have 2 rooms waiting for me when I arrive.

I booked by phone back in April and was told only $200 deposit for 2-room reservation. When I checked the reservation online, it said another $200 was due by May 5th. I called CRO to report this, and she confirmed that the deposit was all paid up and no money was due until 45 days prior. She said she was not aware of how it appears online. So, I would call and make the reservation by phone.

I've always had to pay one night for each room.

I made our ressie, by phone. The CM made it sound I just needed to do the $200.00 deposit and the rest by August 2nd.

I looked at the ressie online, said I owed another $200.00 by June 1st. I didn't call about it, I just paid the other $200., but now, I only owe another $350. by August 2nd. The 2 guys staying in the 2nd room, have to have their money to me by July 29th, so I can make sure their room is paid by the Aug. 2nd due date.

I didn't want to take any chances and lose my rooms.
