Thanks Vidia2;I was really excited to share the news,and YOU are the FIRST poster to acknowledge my fantastic news-I really appreciate it!Yay!!!!Good for you Don Disney!! Hope you have a great time. Looks like some people are starting to get some fall magic!
I called yesterday and a few nice posters said I was "anal" etc.
Here's hoping the GP code works for the rest of us on the 3rd!
Did'nt realize there were so many"haters" here on the DIS;I am always happy to post a congrats to anyone who shares their good news,but am quite dissapointed that so many posters just brushed my excitement aside,as if it was the plague-thanks folks.
Vidia2-may the pixie dust find it's way to you and yours also!!!
It's hard for anyone to give you a straight answer on this because we have no idea how many rooms will be available and/or how many people know about this offer and will be lining up to reserve their spot on Wednesday morning. Is it worth the hour? I've seen people call weeks after the offer comes out and still get the discount applied, I have also seen people call and get through within the first 20 minutes to be told their resort is sold out of FD rooms. Your guess is as good as ours

You can pick up the tickets no more than 3 days prior to check-in. I don't know where that CM got 10 days prior
I'm not quite sure what you mean by two different reservations - do you mean one reservation for 9/17-10/1 under a room discount and 10/2-10/5 under free dining? If that is what you mean then you can definitely do it and you can use the same persons name but you will need to add the night of 10/1 under the resort discount reservation (free dining won't start until 10/2) or you will be sleeping outside
Hmmm. Ok, well, then I guess we can't do FD at all then. "Missed it by that much." (Edit - I just re-read Cheshire's info, and it DOES say 3 days prior.)
(I meant we had a room only for the NIGHTS of 9/27-10/1. I should have been more clear. No sleeping on the sidewalk for us, but thanks for pointing it out, just in case.
Regards,
C.
I finally read the whole thread. I was pretty sure this would happen, but it's still very exciting. It covers our dates (10/2-10/6)and we don't need to buy that darned memories book. Without the book we def. get a larger (though not much) savings over our current 30% room discount at Pop.
Here's my question, I have a room-only reservation right now. I was going to buy our tix through DU if free dining didn't come along. Should I call and upgrade to a package before 8/3 so that on the 3rd it's easier to apply the FD code? Would doing that in any way make it more likely that we'd get one of the FD rooms at Pop?
Any stats on how many FD rooms are at each resort? Pop is way bigger than POFQ for ex. so I wonder if I have a better chance of getting FD at Pop than I would at a smaller resort
I think it's easier to get up early and do the check-out/in at the front desk(and yes, before 8:20am is possible, though if they change your rooms you may have to bring your bags to bell services).
That said, if you do your initial check-in on the 10th at the front desk, this will give you the opportunity to tell (or remind) the CM that you have two reservations that are linked and there is greater chance that the CM can work his/her magic and make sure you stay in the same room for both reservations. As far as I know, there is nowhere on-line to request this.
