We want to go to WDW May 2-8. Sunday I was playing around with resorts and dates with the spring room rate special on the WDW website. It let me add the tickets, and then the dining plan. I was wondering if the site was really going to let me book a package on the room deal. There was no option to save the offer - and I didn't actually enter my credit card number - so probably not.
Anyway, I called Disney Travel to try to get some confirmation. The CM said "no, you can't book dining with the room offer but you *do* have
free dining for those dates, would you like to book that?" Thinking I had finally gotten a PIN number I said "Yes!" but it was taking her forever to get it booked, so she said she had to get a supervisor to assist.
As it turns out, that offer was for Canadian residents (bummer!) but I heard someone talking to her in the background and she said that the Guest Services super was telling her that "there were good package specials opening for our dates a little later and to check back."
So there is hope!
