October 2013 Code Watch?!

So if free dining is going on during our check in date of Oct 5 will it apply to our entire reservation or just the days during the free dining dates?

If you check in by at least the last day of a FD promo, they will apply it to your entire stay, up to 14 nights. Room only discounts are only good for the advertised dates and will not carry over for length of stay.
 
reading through all the people booking September FD makes me realize that I have questions if we get lucky and can get FD or SPD for our 10/16-26 trip booked right now at POFQ, room and tickets. I have 2 rooms booked, one for my family and one for my sister. I made both reservations and charged the deposits to my Disney Visa. If either of these promos come out will I be able to call in and add FD or SPD to my sister's reservation? I will actually be paying in full for both reservations with my Disney Visa to get the rewards and she will pay me back. If it makes any difference I made the reservations over the phone so they are linked and I can see them on the Disney website.

2nd question, when you call to add FD to an existing package I assume you choose the option to change an existing reservation.

Thanks. Hope in a few months we October folks will be booking some promo. :)

Yes, you can add the FD code to your sister's room with your DV card. Yes, you ask to modify an existing reservation. The only blip I see is that most people watching these historical discounts don't think the late October discounts will start until October 18 or later this year. Of course, we won't know for sure until release time on July :-)

Thanks, and that was a typo we are booked at POFQ for October 19-26.

We're watching for that week as well. :surfweb: Looking at last year, FD was offered starting on 10/19 (or this year's 10/18), so who knows, but that is my hope. We are staying at POR. I know if a promo starts on 10/21 or something, I will probably either book a split stay for the 1st few nights/RO perhaps, maybe a different resort too, just to take advantage of the discount if it's that good. Just as long as it works with picking up park tickets (you can get them up to 3 days before your package starts at the resort). So for you if FD does come out 10/18, possibly RO for 10/16-10/18, FD package (hopefully) 10/18-10/26 - make sense?
If you want to stay at the same resort, you can ask them to link your reservations and hopefully you won't have to change rooms if you book the same room type. But there is a possibility that you might have to change rooms too, just to take advantage of a discount if it starts after your arrival.

Hope that helps!

What is the likelihood of a code for the week of October 21? Is that after the conferences/fall break?

Oh, yeah... much easier then (hopefully). :thumbsup2

I just realized I was chatting it up with you a while back about the Sea Serpant slide.... LOL. I should have known!
 
I'm coming to WDW Oct 15th-27th.

I am doing a split stay, Oct 15th-22nd AKL and Oct 22nd-27th Poly.

I was hoping for a RO discount. Do RO discounts normally fall in the same dates as FD?

If I had to do RO for the 15th, 16th and 17th could I still get my park tickets for the 3 days I have a room only reservations?? I was planning on going to MK on the 16th....

Any help would be greatly appreciated:)

I forgot to mention my reservation from the 15th-22nd is package with tickets and the dining plan.

You can pick up your tickets early. From Cheshire Figment's ticket thread http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1452684

I. Picking up Package Tickets Prior To Start Of Package

In cases where Walt Disney World Resort Guests would like to begin using their Package Tickets prior to the day of check-in (up to three days in advance), the Guests will be directed to visit any Theme Park or DTD Guest Relations location and request Early Ticket Pick-Up. (Note this cannot be done at a water park.)

It is only valid for people with packages at a Walt Disney World owned and operated Resort. You can be staying off-property at the time you pick up the tickets. Note that if you have a package which includes Dining, although you can pick up your tickets early you cannot get access to the Dining until you have actually checked in to your Resort.

Note that since August 2011 the Call Centers have been telling Guests this cannot be done. However it is still a valid procedure and can be done with no problem at Park Guest Relations Windows.

There is a possibility that if your package and the stay prior to the package are at the same Resort that you will be able to get the tickets at the Resort and not have to go to a Park Guest Relations Office.

And the tickets issued will be valid for the entire stay; they will not receive valid tickets when they actually check-in to their resort. There is a strong possibility that the tickets you have received prior to check-in cannot be added to your KTTW on or after check-in.

I would suggest you copy down the following information if you are planning to upgrade promotional tickets. If the person in the window is hesitant to upgrade these promotional tickets, ask them go go into The Hub >> WDW >> Work >> Ticketing >> Processes & Business Rules >> Early Ticket Pickup For Resort Packages where they will see the procedure.
 
The waiting is killing me! I go back and forth between being stressed out to not caring. Seeing the FD dealing today is starting to tip me over to the stressed out side again:scared: . I don't want to wish our summer away but come on Disney, release the October deal already! :rolleyes1 Okay, back to cleaning out my house.
 
If FD is already being offered and it's only may, will they really wait till July/aug to come out with October???
