Not to sound stupid but what's bounce back dining? How is that an advantage?

Amanda

We had an offer in our room last August to book for 2010 for free dining. It has not been offered to the public yet unless you booked last year. Getting the ADR's well in advance of everyone else getting free dining is a huge help!

All caught up & updated through here!

Gotcha! I booked our trip with a PIN so I guess I'm getting a similar advantage. I wasn't sure if you were getting to book ADRs even earlier than 180 days or something. Now I understand!

Thanks,
Amanda

I just booked the 20th-28th, BCV!!! I'm so excited!

 

[frostymom]

So I was thinking since Mommytobree put us down by the date we will be at the world if anyone would be interested in sharing a cruise for fireworks or such? PM if interested!

DS13 (at time of trip) and myself are going for 10 days!!! We are staying at All-Star Movies, hopefully, in the Toy Story section. We are hoping for free dining to be announced and that the MNSSHP does start on August 30th as should on Touring Plans. We went last year from August 9 to August 16, and decided we need more time at WDW! Now the planning begins....

We were originally booked for a week at the Beach Club in September but decided we'd love to be able to spend 2 weeks and moved our trip up to August and stay at Pop instead. So, hot and humid, here we come!!!!! Just made the majority of my ADRs this morning, have to make the rest tomorrow and the day after. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!

We usually go the last week of August thru Labor Day but I couldn't get that time off from work so August 21-30 it is.

I booked the Coronado Springs with the 30% off PIN but am eagerly awaiting the free dining announcement and will compare the cost. We usually stay at the All Stars but with 2 teenage boys that are over 6 feet tall, the double sized beds at the values aren't working very well these days .

I will be making my ADR's on Monday !

So, any other single parents visiting the World in August?

We (me, DH, DS 12 & DS 10) will be at POP from August 21 - 28. What will I be celebrating - hoping to be cancer free by then (currently in the middle of chemo treatments ).

How special! You are in my thoughts...sending you lot's of pixie dust!!!

Probably wishes. I have 7 though in my family, so not sure how that would work. Is 10 the max? My daughter is little she can sit in my lap, LOL

Ok I *think* I have my dining plans figured out. Now that I have decided to get Park Hoppers, I'm not so stressed making the ADR's. Here is my plan (I am so excited to book these in 3 days!! )

8/21- Arrival. Dinner @ CM 6:30pm
8/22- 1st AM Appt at BBB in MK, then 11am lunch at CRT
8/23- Dinner @ Boma 6pm
8/24- Early breakfast @ Tusker House (8am?)
8/25- Dinner @ WCC 6pm
8/26- Dinner MM *Fantasmic*
8/27-Breakfast 1900 PF 9am
Dinner Sci-Fi 7pm
8/28- Dinner LeCellier 6pm
8/29- Breakfast O'Hana 9am
8/30- Dinner 50's PTC
8/31- Dinner R&C (Illuminations Timing )
9/1- Dinner @ Plaza
9/2- Dinner @ Planet Hollywood (Kids keep asking for this one)
9/3- Dinner LTT
9/4-Leave


NOW I have to figure out if they are having MNSSHP starting 8/30 if I need to re-arrange something. Maybe do lunch that day at 50's PTC instead. Hmmmm. Or plan dinner @ Plaza that day and dinner @ 50's PTC on the day I had The Plaza planned.

[mom2minniemouse]

Hello again, fellow August-Disers! Today was my 180 days till takeoff! Booked all my ADRs this morning online. (Oh how great it is to have the online system, especially when it opens up an entire hour earlier than the phone system!!!) I made my actual resort ressie yesterday just so I could go and book 180+10. LOL! Now all I need to do is book KTTK tours for DH and me and keep on praying for free dining to come along...
