What number did you call to get handled in 10 minutes??? What options did you choose on the automated system?

Wow! I'm still on hold after 94 minutes. maybe I would get serviced faster if I had said that I would do the survey...

97mins arghhhh

 

[Scraper]

I got it after 1 hour and thirty minutes. the CM was very nice and fast and knew the code. Good luck everyone.

Apparently there are several different numbers that one can call. Does this make a difference??

Just told POP standard rooms all sold out...I'm getting POFQ for 8/31 for 3 nights.

Also, Fla Resident don't get pass discount!

 

[quietgirll]

i almost passed out....somebody has picked up!! yayyyyyyyyy

 

[DisneyNutzy]

Booked. Was hoping the deal was available with a Cabin in Fort Wilderness but had to settle for adjoining rooms at Pop. CM said this was the highest caller volume she has experienced in her 2 years there. Good luck to all still holding.

I have friends hoping to book the free dining on the 12th when it opens to the general public. They are hoping for a Fort Wilderness cabin. Does anyone know if these are part of the free dining promotion?

I got it! After being on hold for 1 hr 20 min! It was so worth it! I got the resort I was DREAMING of
Contemporary, MK VIEW! For me and my DS 11 and DD 8, 9 nights, park hoppers with water park.
And now I have to keep this a secret from them until sept. 7th! I am going to bust!
I had to do all I could from telling the Cm I love her

For those of you still on hold hang in there, and I hope you get what you want. I will keep reading this thread, as it has been fun!

Did she say that the FW cabins are not a part of the free DDP?

1 hour 40 minutes 17 seconds. I'm in.

 

[skier_pete]

I have had that happen and they have always called me back!

They didn't call me back. I've been on hold for 55 minutes and counting to try and get through for a second time. This just totally sucks! I was on with the CM for 25 minutes. She changed one ressie over from POP to POFQ, so that is concerned. The second one she had switched over to POFQ, but had not put it on the code based on the price she quoted me. She put me on hold, and then she came back for a fraction of a second and cut off, she definitely didn't call back...she also seemed really irritated by all the call volume she was seeing....I wonder if she was new.

I will be screaming at them if I can't get the second room at POFQ...1 hour and counting now...killing my free minutes, I think I only can go about another hour.

WOW! When I called, ASMo standard was all sold out, so I switched to POP standard. I said that I felt bad for the non-Disney Visa holders who have to wait for free dining til Thursday, and the CM said, "Yeah, me too.. there won't be anything left by 3:00pm today, never mind Thursday!"

[akghutton]

Sasmmb, Thanks for the information.
Now they will just have to hope that there is a cabin left in the free dining inventory by Thursday.

The FW Cabins are definately available, as I just booked them!
