Late Summer/Early Fall Incentives

[disneylandtour]

I thought they closed this loophole (or at least force you to call)--I guess it depends on what the guards see.

Anecdotally, I can tell you that this is true for some restaurants, not true for others. As a guess, I think it depends on if the restaurant is owned by Disney or owned by one of the partners (Palmas, etc.)--and then which partner. Last trip, I had a number of "two person" reservations, three of which I moved down to one. A friend I was meeting was hit hard with allergies. Anyway, some reservations seemed to shift over to "call us at..." while others remained accessible on MDE up until two hours before.

But, again, "fixing" it will make things inconvenient for everyone. There has to be a balance between "stops enough people" and "is not miserable for the legitimate guests."

They did recently close this one. You can’t modify a reservation on the app inside of 2 hours. You have to call or go to guest relations and it’s dealt with on a case by case basis.

Same experience I had recently

Well that really narrows it down, LMAO it seems like they all sell shirts. But I'm pretty sure I know who you're talking about.

I was at Kidani and knew I wouldn’t make a breakfast reservation at HS. I went to the front desk to ask how late I could arrive and not be charged a no-show fee. He said you can go any time during the meal period. This wasn’t going to work for me since our reservation was for 10:25 and breakfast ends at 10:30. The CM was kind enough to cancel for me so that I wasn’t charged.

I had to cancel within two hours before (abysmal traffic on I-4) and the only way I could do it was get the cast member to move my reservation to a later time and then I was able to cancel on the app. They helped me out moving it because I physically had no way with the accidents on the road to get there in time. But to do that each time you visit just to get a better parking spot is literally insane.

Well that really morrows it down, LMAO it seems like they all sell shirts. But I'm pretty sure I know who you're talking about.

Hey friend…..

his face on a few shirts and claims he doesn’t have a commercial arrangement with them…

If we are talking about the same person (obviously we are), to be frank a walk from the TTC parking lot to the ferry or from the front of EPCOT to world showcase would do him good.

I do believe that is the plan.

Well blast. If that's the case, would you recommend buying before 9/16 to lock in the extra Welcome Home Weeks incentive discount, or waiting until 9/21 so I can have optionality on the current incentives vs the next set?

Is there any chance that if I buy on like 9/15, but then better incentives are released on 9/30 that I would be able to get those? Also, do you know if they will announce that the Welcome Home Weeks incentive is ending in advance?

All of these incentives can change at any time, as the welcome home weeks addition has proved. If they wanted to they could end the welcome home weeks incentive in 5 minutes with zero warning.

Buy now, and just don't close until after the new incentives come out in October. Stretch out your payments to 60 days. As long as you haven't closed they can rewrite the deal if the October incentives are better. I doubt they will be, but you never know! Over the past few years it seems like this late Summer cycle is the best incentive cycle of the year.
