They added some more Free dining dates!

Anybody know if I add a day to my tickets will it change the entire reservation? We have FD right now but our dates are now blocked out. I need a 6 day ph and have a 5 day now. Should I just wait until we check in?

I discussed the options with DH last night, and I think we are going to go ahead and try POR. I really wanted POFQ since it is the first pick-up and drop-off for the bus... but having the convenience of a single ressie plus a couple of extra meals made POR more appealing. We will be able to keep a king room, just hoping it is conveniently located (preferred rooms aren't available).

POR is nice.. I have stayed there a few times and I really like it. It's my favorite mod. plus its really a short walk to POFQ if you wanted to get a beignets If the king room is available they should be able to give it to you..

added tickets won't be a problem, you can call them and they will add it. You just can't change your resort/dates.

I was able to add October 22nd to my free dining package at POP this morning by calling exactly at 7:00 am!!!

Unfortunately, the awesome CM was unable to shorten my room-only reservation for Oct. 20th-23rd at CBR because I got a special rate on it the day I called in for free dining. (I got 3 nights at CBR for $2 more /night than POP). I had to cancel CBR and change my room only reservation to POP. While I am excited that I have 8 nights of free dining and only 2 nights of paying for meals out of pocket, I am disappointed that I will not be able to try out CBR. With that said, we LOVE POP and now we won't have to change resorts. Aaaand, I get to do some more dining planning tomorrow.

Yes, the king room is available, and I am paying for the upgrade up-front. I really dislike full beds when I'm sharing it with someone else, so I wanted to guarantee the king. I just don't really want a long walk from the room to the food court. So I'm thinking I will request buildings 15 or 18, although Oak and Parterre are also possibilities. But I think AB will win out since I've read that it tends to be quieter there.

After weeks of calling and checking online for my room type to open up on a newly added date... and getting the same response, sorry, there are no rooms available for your room type.

I decided to contact Guest Services. My rationale was..."I know there isn't any available because I am holding one of the spots! There has to be somebody that can override the system and not have check availability the same way we do online (cancel and rebook process).

I was so blessed to be contact by a GS-CM and she added the extra date, cancelled my room only (I had previously booked, JIC) and updated all my DME information... and she only had my name, state and month!! She didn't need any other info, like er.. my reservation number. I couldn't stop thanking her.

We are sooo happy! Finally!!

Coincidently, I check online to see if there was any availability for my room type for the extended dates online and NOPE. The CM really did pull out her magical GS pixie dust.

That's awesome! Though, I'm not sure I follow. Can you better explain how you did this? Did you just call the regular reservation line? They canceled your room-only and then the room opened up and you applied FD? Sorry, I'm confused!

Sorry, I was excited and in a hurry.

Basically, I emailed Guest Services and was contacted by CM...
The GS-CM got me in contact with a reservations CM...

The GS-CM did all the work. I don't know exactly what "authority/permissions" they have in the system, however, she was able to add the Saturday which was not initially a FD date without any problems. I presume she has the ability to add dates w/o having to book a new reservation (which is what is the usual response as to why it was not previously doable).

As a courtesey, she went ahead and cancelled the RO ressie which I previously booked since I was unable to extend my FD package ressie with the normal CMs on the regular reservation line.
