NOVEMBER 2012 Trip Planners Thread~ Everybody is Welcome~Part 3 already!

Good morning all! I'm on hold with Disney for the Visa free dining. Wouldn't you know this morning I was late getting to the gym and then I worked out longer than planned. That never happens!! So, I wait. It is worth it, I'm just a bit worried about the rooms going so quickly.

Congrats to everyone who was successful so far and good luck to those still trying!

Hope you get it! Sending some to you!


So if certain resorts fill up between the PIN and DV holders, will they offer it to the GP? Or just not include some Resorts? Or is it a trial and error type thing?

I wonder if they just hold back so many rooms per resort for each promotion?

IDK I am reading alot of things about no standard rooms at POR, only garden view. I dont know if they are sold out or just not included (like to up sell the more expensive rooms?) But to save $1000 Id spend another $150! I know the RGR was included

Has anyone come across any rumors on Test Track lately?

Has anyone done a carriage ride at POR or POFQ? Since MIL will be on this trip DH an I were thinking on taking advantage of the built in babysitter and grabbing some alone/romantic time and trying one.

I haven't done it, but staying at FQ as often as we do, we've seen it lots of times. If you wait until it's dark, it looks really romantic. During the day you see families riding, which looks fun too. I think you should definitely take advantage of the babysitter and enjoy!

Yeah I tried that before but she was missing, so glad she's back!

She must have been one of the boxes with the ? in it! I wish they would quit monkeying around with them, it takes me so long to find the one I want now!

After talking to my DH today, I think we are going to add a day to our ressies!!!We decided this because we could save a lot in airfare. . . so much so that the extra day is a wash. The only thing is that we have to leave pretty early on our departure day, but with arriving a day early (albeit late in the day) we shouldn't lose any of our vacay time! We are so very excited!

Adding a day is always a great idea! I'm constantly watching the airfare since it goes up and down more often than an elevator! Enjoy that extra day!

Okay, so I got through after only 5 minutes or so on hold. I said to the CM, "You probably know why I'm calling." and she said "OH yeah!" They didn't refund me the $12 more they charged when the trip insurance went up, but at least I tried. We're sticking with Pop Century since the standard rooms at FQ were all gone, but I'm cool with that. This is a bonus trip, so I'm good with just being there!

Thanks! It worked!!

I think the standard rooms were just gone b/c the CM who checked for me searched first for a standard room and came back and said they were NO LONGER available, so that leads me to believe they started out with some. I have a feeling there will be a few standard available when general FD comes out, just my thought, nothing to back it up.

As far as Test Track, I sure hope it opens before Dec 1st for our peeps who are going earlier in the month! I can't wait to ride the new version myself! Wow, free dining and Test Track opening...is it greedy to want BOG for our dates too???

I was able to book a LM room with FD and upgraded to the magic your way dining the end of May/beginning of June. I guess I had a code b/c I just called and asked and it was done!?

 

[princesshope1982]

i want free dining!!!

I think b/c they are so new they are excluded for this year. It has been booked solid, so they figure they don't need to include them. Maybe they figure the newness will have worn off a bit by next year, so included it. For whatever reason, so glad you got it all!!

 

[mommyof3princess27]

i want free dining!!!

I ead that it WILL come out Thursday for General Public!!!!! A CM confirmed

 

[Tulles]

I'm so scared that we won't get FD now for the first part of our trip. We're booked at POR. Hopefully won't have any trouble at AoA bc we're in a lion king and i hope that section is less popular due to lack of pool.

 

[princesshope1982]

I ead that it WILL come out Thursday for General Public!!!!! A CM confirmed

i know but my trip is duing the black out days

i just did the math (to tourture myself) and we would save $671 and then we could go to universal

 

[sjs314]

Gonna be a long 3 days for those of us still waiting

 

[disneychic2]

Hang in there for the 12th...you can still get general offer. Sending pixie dust your way!!!pixie dust:

ETA: Oh, didn't realize you were there during black out dates. It would be torture to see everyone else getting it and not be eligible. So sorry! I changed my dates when I found out it was during a black out period, but then, we are fortunate enough to be very flexible about when we can go.

Let's just concentrate on waiting for BOG to open and getting ADRs there or eating there for lunch. We can all do that!

 

[kerriemiller]

I WANT TO MAKE ADRS!!!!!!!! Im going a little nutty. We decided to wait on booking because our dates are flexable and we can go anytime in the month of Nov. so we will go when FD is available. But these last couple days are killing me. Im honestly considering going to Chicago over night with the girls just to get my mind off it
