Does anyone know the answers to these two questions? New here and just looking for help

 

[agassizsmile]

Oh no does this mean FD might drop tonight!

 

[Nagy3girls]

anyone getting up tonight to check?

 

[mamamelody2]

Wow, that is weird. No availability for my dates either, except for deluxe. And last night, there was tons.
This is making me think I should maybe set my alarm for 4 AM just to check...

If you have access to each then I would just try to change what you have. Do one then the other. Make sure you select the free dining offer. I've been told but haven't done it yet that you should be able to select the regular dining plan and it will only charge the difference.

I'm guessing it's probably routine maintenance... especially if this has been happening multiple sunday nights. They're probably resetting the reservation servers or something. Only weirdos like us would be up constantly checking reservation dates and availability.

My thinking (and I'm not an expert) is that you might be able to modify the reservations online through the change reservation button....provided there is availability for your room type and resort when FD drops. I would think you would have to do each reservation seperately because of the different reservation numbers. As for the dining plan I think you would just choose that after you go through the FD offer on the special offers page. You can choose what is offered for free (quick service or table service) but you can always phone later and upgrade to whatever you'd like. Maybe some others will have advice for you as well. Take everything I say with a grain of salt as I am no expert.

Help Please.... I booked a reservations for 2 rooms at POP with Park Hoppers and Regular dining, not QS, a month ago. One room for our son and his family and one room for my husband and myself. I made these thru Disney. The cast member said she had to give me 2 reservation numbers as it is for 2 rooms and I could go thru MDE and link them together. I did this and their room I am able to view and make dinner reservations. Here are my questions as I do not know how to handle this:

1) When/if free dining comes out can I go online and do something? If so what do I need to do as I already have and as of now paying for regular dining upgrade and would want to only pay the upgrade difference not all of it as I should get QS free. ( I know I am only saying if I am a lucky one and do get this offer opportunity)

2) Will I be able to do my son's reservation as well since I have a change/cancel button on each? I have not tried these as I do not want to mess anything up.

You can try, but if you've made these reservations over the phone, I don't believe you'll be able to modify online. No worries if you can't. I would just make new reservations online if you can. Do your reservation first, then make a second reservation for your son. Are both reservations under your MDE? Or does your son have a second account?

I've been up every Sunday night since the end of March and have not seen this yet. Probably is maintenance but I'll still check later. lol....cause I'm crazy.

 

[mamamelody2]

Okay, FINE. I'll set my alarm. LOL.

Definitely staying up tonight, just in case. Seems awfully suspicious there was availability for everything for our dates earlier tonight when I looked and now there's none. I work night shift tomorrow night, so I'll just sleep before that.
Crossing my fingers the moderate resorts will offer free DDP. We have a lot of TS and CM planned and really don't want to make hard decisions regarding those when my kids are already so excited about all the great places we're eating.

 

[disorganizedchaos]

Sorry in advance because I know this has been answered but I can't for the life of me find it...if I already have a ressie for CBR with GCs booked but want to change our dates, am I likely to lose the GCs?

I think Disney is just messing with our minds.

I am the only one who has MDE and linked his to mine. I am hoping to do just what you stated. I am hoping to be able to select change/modify and "free dining" will come up and I can select that and all will be great in my little world! Thank you
