FD is up on the Disney website now. Just in case you are still not getting through.

Really frustrated , Just got off the phone with Disney trying to get FD for my Nov 8th-17 trip.. because we are arriving on the 8th I needed to do a slit stay. Works out for the 9th -17th ill save 1100 ( I am paying to upgrade from value to deluxe dinning).

However if i want to go into a park on the 8th ill have to pay 90/ticket, if i want to keep my adr for ohana ill have to pay 200 oop and pay a room only rate of 265.

so 450+200+265+ taxes ... there goes my saving... sorry but i had to vent at someone

Oh man, I am so sorry. Do you have any wiggle room with your dates?

That's not right at all, you don't need to buy a one day ticket. Book a room only and yes you'll have to pay OOP for the one meal, but you can buy a ticket for however long you need with your package and then pick up your tickets up to 3 days early!

Finally got thru after waiting 17 minutes on second call @ 7:42. They are changeing you the new tix prices which sucks , didnot do tat last year grrrrrrr so instead of saving $515.40 I only saved $474.94. Oh well they lost I was considering upgrading to CL but I m mad at them now so gonna stick with my water View room. I would change to standard but DH wants to be able to see Cresent Lake and the BW

 

[Dawson'sMom]

Yes I was able to get standard @ CSR, and also booked 11/23

Oh boo! I'm sorry, but hopefully they won't keep you waiting too long. All fingers and toes crossed.

I cannt believe I got this right. Before I found out that there was going to be a free dining offer my husband and I agreed we would see what offers came around before we booked. Our dates are flexible. So I waited a whole 2 months. Then through the DIS I found out today was going to be fd. So I waited even longer.

But . . . today I booked our trip Nov 9 - Nov 17 Lion King room AoA with FD things almost never work out the way I want them!!!

[saluki2002]

Finally got a CM. Got FDing but had to switch to POFQ, gonna have to do some research now. We are saving $774.

 

[CristinaML]

Was on hold for about 40 minutes but it's done FDing!!!!! I had to split my stay to be 3 nights a AOA and than switch to WL on 11/9 for the package, but since I learned here that I can pick up my park tickets early at DTD I'm still saving $1,222!! YAY!!!! (OK I do have to pay for food those 3 days but that's ok )

You can pick up your park tix at guest services up to 3 days early.. Do a room only for the 8th tix for entire trip on the package

So glad you finally got through!! I was getting worried for you. You will LOVE FQ. It doesn't show any availability online for FQ, so I'm surprised you got it. Congrats on the free dining and sorry it took you so long.

Two great resorts in one trip, fantastic! What a great savings, too! Don't know how you all save so much. We are saving about $250 and I'm grateful for that, but man, love seeing those huge savings for everyone!

Congrats to all who got their free dining and the resorts they wanted.
