I couldn't add free dining to my AKV stay, then by the time we decided to switch to AKL, the FD rooms were gone, But we'll try Thursday morning, in case they have some set aside for general public.
I couldn't keep my Family Suite either!
I seriously do not understand why in the world the Family Suites are not included in Free Dining!!!!
We have 2 peferred rooms at ASMO. Don't get me wrong, I like ASMO, but it worries me that we may not get connecting rooms, and dog gone it, I just wanted to stay in a Family Suite!
I called twice to get a woods view room at WL but they say it doesn't show up as available. There web site says differently, so for now I have a courtyard view, but will keep trying to get the cheaper room with my free dining.
Don't give up...from what happened last year more rooms will open on Thursday to the GP ( different inventory?) and then of course people will cancel. Everyone who's not sure of their plans would certainly want to hold "something" for fear of losing availability but when final payment due dates roll around, that's when a final decision is made. I remember reading many posts last year where people eventually got what they wanted and could finally celebrate. ---Kathy
Update: DF called this morning for dining - got warm transferred to CRO about 7:30 or so and we were able to switch to EXACTLY we wanted - POP for 8 nights! And our bill went down cause we switched from standard to preferred - yeah!!!
I was able to add FD to my existing ressie, nothing changed I got same place ASMo and same pref room. I only saved $100 by adding the FD, but I would rather it be in my pocket than someone elses.
