I could bang my head against a wall!
I've been on hold for an hour and 40 minutes with Disney Reservations trying to get the PS&D discount applied to my existing reservation. But before this, I was on hold 40minutes and hung up by accident! UGH!!!
I'm about ready to cry. I'm at work on hold with them stuck listening to it's a small world blaring into my ear...it's so annoying I could almost laugh
(almost..........)
Like I said, I'm at work, and I have to pee SOOooo bad, but can't leave my desk since I'm on hold. Man on man, I hope they answer SOON!
Anybody else stuck on hold? I wonder how much longer it's going to take! I still can't believe I hung up by accident after being on hold 40 freaking minutes!!!

Hi

I live in South America and for me it's not that easy to call to Disney.

So, I'd like to know.... if I've made a reservation before, is it possible to apply the "Play, Stay, Dine and Save" discount to my existing reservation without having to call?
Thanks in advance

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I also had existing reservation and my travel agent had to call to add the discount

Booking the PSD has been a train wreck for me. Couldn't get through for hours when I did get through the lady quoted me a price that was higher then paying full rates for room, tickets and dinning plan. Called back and was able to book it for the discounted price but when I checked my reservation online it says we are getting the quick service dining plan when we should be getting the regular dining plan (staying at POR). Now I am on hold again hoping to get it fixed. To top it all off DD is home sick with the flu and is not happy about me being on the phone all morning.

I'd suggest waiting a few hours on trying to change the dining plan. I too was concerned when I looked at my reservation in MDE only minutes after making my reservations and seeing the quick service dining plan listed. I headed to work saying I would call later when things died down. I checked again an hour ago and it says Table Service dining plan now. So they fixed it themselves.

I suggest everyone should price out the deal!!!!! The package might not be your best deal!!!

When I look through the stay play and dine deal vs. the room only discount - at least for deluxes- I get a better deal using the room only discount.


Looking at Poly for Jan 16-20, Standad room - full price package 5 day base, reg DDP - $3670

PSDS - same details = $3030 = savings of $640.

But the room only discount is 30% off ($538 full price, VS. $376 w/late winter discount, that saves $162 per day or $648

On a Club Level room full price is $733/night, with 30% =$513/night, saves $220 per day.

Dissect the package price (minus full price tickets, and full price DDP) and I get the room at $512 per day. (2 adults 1 child) or $554 per day with just one adult.
so if you have just one adult, the 30% off plan would save you $41 more per day on a four day visit. And that is not counting additional saving you might get from buying tickets from a vendor, or skipping all those desserts.

I called this morning and after and hour on hold CM on the phone was giving me a higher price for the spd deal than what I see when I price it on the web. Long story short, I had to cancell existing ressie and make a new one to get correct pricing.

They fixed mine too. While I was on hold I refreshed my page and it was changed to regular dining so I just hung up.

Just curious if someone is good at the number crunching if you think this deal is better or not?

My son has free dining at pop with hopper tickets and paid to upgrade from quick service to the regular dining plan.

Repriced his today and it's $200 more.

[Zipears Fan]

did you have park hopper passes or any water passes?

what kind of dining is DDP?

Bill

We have a 5-day PH and the regular DDP. No water passes - too risky in February.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.

Try the Spanish line, it always had lower wait times. I called yesterday and was over the phone for an hour in the English one.Then tried the Spanish line and it was a 4 minute wait.

I knew that I should have studied harder in my high school Spanish class. LOL

I have never booked a room with one of these discounts, so this may be a dumb question...

What are the odds the room-only discount will still be available at AKL at the end of the month?

I ask because I promised my husband we wouldn't book our trip until we close on the home we're selling, and closing date is October 23. I would be able to book that weekend, so on October 25... 13 days from now.

What are my chances of still snagging this deal?

Free dining? Is that for 2014 or 2015?

 

[ALD85]

Free dining? Is that for 2014 or 2015?

It's gotta be 2014 unless he booked a bounce back for 2015.

 

[yooperfan]

I want a 2015 FD pin, I do, I do!

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

It's gotta be 2014 unless he booked a bounce back for 2015.

I thought I heard some people received 2015 Pin offers for free dining recently?
