If you didn't get the resort you really wanted, with free dining....

[MinnieTink]

Just FYI.. I posted this on a different thread, but decided to post on its own b/c it seems like a lot of people had to just take what was available at the time, instead of what they really wanted.....

I called on 4/12, hoping for WL, and all they had was concierge, which was out of our budget. I ended up booking CBR, which was fine, but it would be our 3rd stay there and we wanted something different. I went online on Sat morning (4/14), and there was a WL woods view available. Yahoo!!! I called Disney right away, and was told, no sorry, there is no availability at WL. I said, I am looking at it online right now. She said, Nope, sorry.... you must be looking at the regular booking site, not the free dining site. She said if you can book it online, do it, and then call back to cancel CBR. That is what I did. I thought it was REALLY weird that I would be able to see availability online, and the Disney CM could not. When I called back to cancel CBR (and verify free dining in WL) that CM thought it was very odd too. Who knows?

So keep trying, calling, looking online to see if you can get the resort you really want....

We originally wanted All Star Movies preferred but no availability so we took ASMU which we were more than happy with.
However, today, i managed to get All Star Movies preferred for my dates!!

The kids will be thrilled. Thanks Val, you know who you are.

I kept watching too, we could only get ASSports at first either that or something out of my price range, and I found POFQ available this afternoon and changed it for both of our rooms. I'm happy!

The free dining dates are 26th Aug-22nd Sept this year i'm afraid so you won't be able to get it for June.

I agree..keep calling people, I just checked for my dates *still hoping to not have to move from CSR* and AKL standard view room opened up...it wasn't available last night (this is for 8/26-9/2). So don't give up hope
