Switching dates on trip which includes free DDP

[boogiedownwanda]

Hello everyone! I am very excited about my upcoming trip to POFQ which includes free DDP. I booked for arrival on 8/31/12 and departure on 9/5/12. Now it seems that arriving on 8/23 and departing on 8/28 will work better for my family and I.

My question to you all is - Do you think Disney would switch the dates on my ressie and keep my same pricing and the included free DDP? The promo is now over but the earlier dates were part of the promotion.

Any advice or feedback would be much appreciated!

I'm not sure if they'll be able to apply DDP with your new dates since you need to check in between August 25-September 29 to availd of this particular promo and your check in date of the 23rd falls just before the DDP period so I don't think they'll be able to give you the same deal. There's also the question of resort availability since they limit how many rooms they allot for the DDP

I myself had to move our vacation from check in of Aug. 26 to Sept. 16 after the booking deadline. Thankfully, they were still able to give me the free DDP since it still fell under the promo dates. We were/are still staying at Pop and the CM did mention that I was lucky because she thought this particular resort was already sold out for the DDP.

Good luck!

The free dining start date, at least for the general public offer that just expired, was August 25. It's your actual check-in date that counts, not your former check-in date. If you change your check in date to outside the offer's paramaters you will not be able to keep the free dining.

If you're on a different offer and that offer included 8/23 as a check-in date, it's going to depend on whether rooms subject to that offer are still available for those dates, even though the offer has expired. You may be able to get it only if someone who had the free dinng cancels those dates.

Thank you so much for the information! Even moving it to 8/25 will help alot. Hopefully Disney has space and will allow the change.

Yay! I was able to move my dates and keep the same pricing as well as free DDP. Thanks again for your feedback!
