Ooh - what more do you know about it? Maybe by September the kinks will be worked out and I can use it!

My family, wife & 3 daughters & 1 son, have ressies for Jan 5th at AKV Jambo House Savanna view for 3 nights. Then we will be at OKW for 5 nights. Then 3 nights at BWV Boardwalk view. We will stay at the Radisson for one night in Cape Canaveral. Then a 4 night cruise on the Disney Wonder. It is likely we will stay at least one more night in Florida before making that dreaded trip back home.

No matter how many days we go it never seems to be enough. I think I'm a little greedy!

If you go on disneyworld.com, at the top, scroll over discover and click on dining. From there, you can scroll through all the restaurants. If it's a TS restaurant, there will be a link under the picture and it says book reservation.

My mom, boyfriend, and I are planning on going at the beginning of January. Does anyone know when we can start booking rooms for January? I know it's been only up until Dec 31 right now. Thanks for the help.

It sounds like you both have awesome trips planned!!

Having never gone before in January...how quickly do the resorts book up? We'd like to stay at ASMo, but if I wait until November to see if any specials come out...whats the likelyhood of the resort being booked?

I would say that if you really have your heart set on staying somewhere specific, either book a room only NOW, or book as soon as the rates come out in August! I made a Room only ressie in March of Last year for this past January for POFQ and when I called in August to change it to a pkg, they were completely booked! I was still able to keep my reservation though because I had made a RO!

Just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone on the new January 2010 thread. This will be our forth January in a row. It's a great time to be at Disney! Take care everyone, I'll post again soon.

Hey Joni! Hope you are well!

I KNOW!!! SO COOL!!! I am so excited to try it out! It looks fairly simple! And it seems to me that if you have a resort reservation, it will allow you to do the 90 + 10!

Joni, it's great to hear from you I hope all is going well- you've been in my prayers!

How exciting! That should definitely free up some time for all the CM's! I hope it works as well as planned.

Well, it is a Disney website, so it's bound to have a few "quirks". I would make sure I bring my printed confirmation #s with me.
I'll probably be doing it on the phone, since I'll have large groups - 10 or 12 for most of our TS ressies and may have to take two tables of 5 or something. I'll bet the online system won't work with that! I'll be following the threads about it.

Joni - good to hear from you. Hope you are well!

 

[Momto2PrncChrmgs]

I tried to get on the on-line just to see what it was like and it was "unavailable." Hope the quirks are out by the time we can book...what's that going to be, end of October?? I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!!

I have a little over 7 months left and I'm already stressing over where we are going to stay. CBR versus ASMo???? I have pros and cons running through my head for both. Perhaps I'll make a list and compare the two. Oh why do I let Disney stress me so? I should really just wait and see what type of deals are released for Jan and then decide but I lay in bed every night thinking about it. What's wrong with me?

You're not alone sister!! I'm in training this week BORED TO TEARS, so I'm sketching out my packing list, ADR's, which parks/which days, things to buy for the long...long...long drive...

We got the Free Dining PIN for December. Too bad we can't use it!! Disney, please send me another one for January!!!

 

[Monny2AE]

I got the December one too and am crossing my fingers we get something decent for January. I doubt dining but any little discount will do!

I am so excited- this trip is real for me now! I went ahead and booked room only for ASMo Toy Story building this morning. I looked it up and there is a gymnastics event going on the weekend we arrive and that's the part that makes nervous about ASMo being too crowded. When I made my ressie they said all they had left was preferred but I wonder if that's true or if they just tell you that to get you to book the most expensive room.

From now on I'm not going to think about questioning which resort to stay at until November when Disney released those magnificent deals!

How do you go about getting things like that? Do you have to register somewhere? Just curious!

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to who gets PINS/CODES. . . The best advice is to sign up for everything Disney that you can. I just requested some DVC info the other day and also priced out a November vacation (while logged in) on the Disney website and a few days later I got the PIN for free dining for dates in Oct, Nov, and Dec. Maybe it was a coincidence, but maybe not.

I never used to get any PINS but this is the 3rd or 4th one I got this year!

I can't wait to go to Disney for my birthday in January 14, 2010!

YAY!!!

 

[Monny2AE]

I bit the bullet and booked ASMo room only If a better deal comes out and we can upgrade then I'll rethink things. I just keep telling myself not to think about it for the next 7 months and 3 days and instead I'm going to start getting my packing list made and even more fun...making the shopping list!

 

[BellaSoleil]

I found us! Okay! I'm officially offical!
