September 2007 savings

[kruggel2004]

Hi everyone
I can't believe it's been almost 1 year since I last posted. DH and I found out we're pregnant, 8 weeks along. we are so excited. WE have decided that we want to take another Disney vaction in September 2007, baby will be old enough to stay home with grandma..yeah
we wanted to go back this year but were afraid i would be too pregnant to go on any of the rides. I'm having major withdrawls, like you would not believe
so anyways, I'm back and looking for assistance for any tips for travelling September 2007. I sure hope they offer the free dining again, that was great.
I look forward to hearing from you all again. Missed talking on here.
Let me know of any great ideas for september 2007. we haven't booked anything or looked into anything as i wanted to get savings tips from my wonderful disboard friends who have helped me out in the past

A big bucket of pixy dust to you all

Congratrs! yeah baby! We just got back from wdw last night and are already planning next september's trip. It will be for my parents 30th wedding anniversery. They honeymooned in disney!!!! Pretty sure there are no codes yet but if we all keep an eye out we'll be ready to go!!!!

Glad to see that there are others who are already planning of Sept. of next year. We made our first trip to WDW this Sept. and are ready to go back again...I just hope that we can make it that long!

We've been back for a little more than 2 weeks now & we're both ready to plan our September 2007 trip! Now that it's October (and less than 1 year until our next trip to WDW), I feel I can add to this thread without thinking I'm WDW crazy! Oops...I already know I am!
Thanks for starting this thread to keep me sane for the next year! :0)

Congrats OP! Great to start this thread. I want Free dining again. I came back less than a month ago. The love bugs were bad. But, nothing can keep me from free disney food. Can, I just say Yummo! Just my DS13, and I went in Sept. But, I am trying to convince hubby for our family of 5 to go. We will stay at Port Orleans this time. If they offer the 2007 free dining package, Hopefully. Question.

1.If I book now, and the free dining promo comes out in Apr-May. Can I rebook, to add the free dining promo. Or should I just wait to see if the free dining promo comes?

2. Can I add a code, to the free dining promo. Or do I have to pay full rack rate, to be eligable for the free DDP. TIA. Everyone, and thanks OP!!

1) Yes, you can rebook providing that the resort you picked still has rooms available. We did this last year & had no problems at all.

2) No. Only one discount per promo. We had the AAA discount, but the free dining outweighed the AAA discount for our resort (POFQ). You'll have to do the math if you're concerned about paying rack rates.

Here's wishing for some magic for September 2007!!

We just got back last week from a seven night stay and have decided that if they offer the free dinning promo again next year, that we will defiantly be going for 10 days next year! And while I’m at it I told the wife anytime they offer the free dinning count us in and start packing.

 

[PrincessJasmine1972]

I am planning my 1st ever trip in September 2007 too.. I hope some of you will be there when i am so we can say HI... any tips would definatley be helpful!

Our September 2007 trip was booked back in March when the DCL prebooking for the following week was available. Have been watching the clock ever since. You think you are crazy? We already started packing!

Hi!

OP, Congrats on your pregnancy. I too would find it hard to go to WDW and not be able to ride. 1 year will be up before you know it.

On Sunday, we got back from a wonderful week at POP. On Tuesday, I booked WL arriving 9/27 for 10 nights. Now we all just to hang out and see if free dining comes around again. It was really awesome!!

Subscribing! We just got back 2 1/2 weeks ago and it is all I can do to not plan something for February! But since we're going to Cozumel in June DH says no! (And here I thought I had converted him into a full-on DisNUT! ) Anyway - we're in for 10 days too if Free Dining comes along again for Sept. 2007 - actually we're probably in no matter what - but free dining again would really be cool!!

Also - what is with the Disney ads now popping up on every channel?? It is like the mouse is taunting me to return even though I just got back!!

 

[dance2874]

We have been back for officially a month today and I am going through major withdrawls too. I am already planning a trip for next sept, either with or without my DH. (he turned out to be a real stick in the mud this last trip!) Anyways, we had a great trip all things considered and I will probably never go any other time of year again for a long stay. It was perfect, not TOO hot (for Florida) and not crowded at all. It was great!

 

[mikesdisneymom]

We just return from our trip to POFQ, a little less than a month ago and are ready to head back. Hoping that they offer the free dining, it was really great to save money that way.

 

[chr1972]

We just returned and are already talking about going again in Sept 2007.

 

[rae662000]

Count me in, I'm already starting my planning for Sept 2007.

 

[stephgles]

We just came back 3 weeks ago. We are already planning for September 2007 with some friends provided they offer the free dining. I do have one question though. I dd will be 3 in May will I be paying for her are is it 3 and under?

Thanks.

Here is to September 2007

Hi!! We just got back a couple of weeks ago from our September trip! Other than my DDs being slightly bothered by the love bugs it was a perfect time to go! We are also talking about going same time next year. We are going to hold off on booking until April(ish) to see if they announce the free dining. We had our trip booked for a few months when they announced the free dining this year and when we called to try to get the promo they were already sold out for WL. We called as soon as we heard too so either they sold out quick or they were pulling our legs since we were the silly ones actually willing to pay for the DDP.

I can't wait until next year! My DH laughs at me because every night at dinner we end up talking about our next trip.

BTW -you do have to pay for three year olds. "Children" according to Disney are 3 to 9 year olds. This was the last year my oldest was considered a child

So you weren't able to convert the reservation to the free dining??? UGH!!! I am booked at WL for 9/07 hoping for free dining. Guess I will have to start excercising my dialing finger to get through as soon as it comes available.

No. Like I said they must have filled their free dining quota quick at WL. It was pretty much a bummer. We had a large party too and that in combination with the free dinig made it hard to get a couple of the ADRs we wanted. We definitely didn't let it ruin our vacation though, we had a blast!!!

Does anyone know how many free dining rooms they offer at the different resorts? Do they offer more at the value and moderate resorts than at the deluxe?

I am hoping we can stay at WL in 2007. My DH is leaning towards POFQ. We'll see who wins that battle...
