UGH are you serious...do I have to hang up and call back for grand gatherings???

Just got in and the CM told me that there was nothing available in the monorail resorts for our dates (9/22-9/29). I am so glad that I already have the 40% code applied to our Poly ressie!!

Just got in and the CM told me that there was nothing available in the monorail resorts for out dates (9/22-9/29). I am so glad that I already have the 40% code applied!!

Oh NO!!! That's when we wanted the Poly!

 

[REL1203]

ok there are 11 of us going but I didn't press if there are more than 8 in your party press one...is that going to be a problem?????

Dont waste your time, you MUST go through Grand Gathering... They will simply not do anything for your party if its that big... Call Grand Gathering asap...

I just modified my reservations adding the FD and still got my pop preferred room

Grand Gatherings line isn't giving wait times. I'm hoping fewer people are trying it.

My experience so far (started planning in Feb) has been that GG wait times are longer with FD than CRO. I'm on hold (GG), but I had tried to dial in CRO with my cell phone, but keep getting "all circuits are busy".

At least they seem to have released more rooms as Pop was not available to cardholders since some time Monday.

you got free dining online??? I don't see it posted on their site to book it!

Found this on www.mousesavers.com

"Free Dining" Promotion
Get FREE dining when you book a specially-priced Walt Disney World vacation package for check-ins most nights 8/26/07-9/22/07. Purchase at least 3 consecutive hotel nights at an official Walt Disney World resort, plus at least a one-day theme park ticket, and you will get a FREE dining package (one counter service meal, one table service meal and one snack, per person, per day) for the length of your stay.

Essentially you get the Magic Your Way Plus Dining package for the price of the Magic Your Way vacation package! To qualify, you must purchase a package consisting of at least a 3-night stay at an official Walt Disney World resort hotel, PLUS at least a 1-day Magic Your Way Base Ticket.

This deal saves a family of four (2 adults, two kids ages 3-9) $99.96 per day -- the cost of adding dining to a basic vacation package.

I strongly recommend that you consider buying trip insurance if you book this package, because you will be traveling during peak hurricane season. Hurricanes rarely affect Orlando, but when they do, they can seriously impact travel plans.

You must book this offer by 6/24/07. The number of packages available at this rate is limited. Suites are excluded from this offer. No group rates or other discounts apply.

Thanks to Small World Vacations for info!



To book the Stay, Play and Dine vacation package, please contact a Disney Specialist travel agent and request code ZHU.

It took me 25 min. to get through.

 

[TheRatPack]

The post about nothing being available at the values is making me nauseous LOL I see when you try to book online it pops up one of the AS resorts and nothing about the POP .....please say it isn't so.

Two years ago we booked near the end of the promo and got what we wanted....guess it's gained popularity.

 

[fishfish]

I was able to add FD to my existing reservation - POFQ Aug 26-Sep 8. Yippee! Only on hold about 10 minutes and then 10 more minutes to book a room only for one night (coming in a day early due to really cheap flight). Good luck to everyone waiting! And thanks for all the info posted here at DIS!

 

[Pirate Dad]

POP sold out... but I got ASMu with FD!
