Value Resorts are sold out!

Yes, as I said, it's during free dining the last week of August. They only block so many rooms. But because we still have 5 weeks before the promotion ends, I am sure Disney will work it's magic.

I'm optimistic!

I just tried it at 1:53 pm eastren time and I got a preffered room at movies and the suite at music.

I did enter the site from the canadian website but when you go to book it directs you to the US site. (you don't have to do anything) don't know if that helps.

Keep trying! A CM told me that many people have "saved offers" online that do not get booked and become available.
 

How many are in your party? If there are two of you and two of your friends would you be willing to add them to your reservation?
 
have you checked w/ a TA? In 2006 I had the same trouble and the last day before the booking period ended for free dining I was able to get into POP they actually booked it through funjet.com b/c disney couldn't do a value resort.
 
I would sure be ok if they decided to upgrade our family to a moderate! :cloud9:

There are 3 adults and 3 children. Are travel dates are August 22-29.

We called today and no luck but I will be persistant!! I see that POR and POFQ are now "booked" for our dates as well.

ADR's will be another issue if they get a ressie but I refuse to mock book them if they don't even have a room yet.
 
I was thinking of switching to a mod during my dates(my cousins will be at POR) so I thought it would be fun to be at the same resort. Well, there were no free dining rms available at ANY of the moderates for my dates (9/10 to 9/17)

Just checked these exact dates last night and they had Riverside available with free dining---check back!
 
Sports & Music are avail if you extend your departure date. You can book and modify later(b4 45 days of course). I just checked. Good luck:thumbsup2
 
My thought is that I'm not certain I'd want to be there during the Free Dining promotion. If all the values are booked, I can imagine that the parks will be crowded but the character meals will be very filled up.

Just my two cents...
 
Just because these resorts are booked for free dining, does not mean they are completely booked up.There are rooms left, just not free dining rooms.Free dining is a promotion just like pin codes, and AAA rates.There are a finite amount of rooms for the promotion and disney is not obligated in anyway whatsoever to make more rooms avail. for free dining even with another month left for booking.Will they upsell people? maybe... maybe not.it is up to the discretion of disney .

most of the theme parks guests come from offsite. Sept is a slow month.

so not worried about the parks being full at all.

now EMH nights and mornings - might definitely be more crowded than normal.

plus you are correct the APR are getting harder to get.
 
We stayed at POP last year during free dining and it was not bad at all, we love pop and the hubby and kids were disappointed we are staying at OKW this October instead :confused3
 
I have to agree that we have done the free dining the past 3 years. The crowds have picked up, but it's still not bad. I am sure that they will open up more rooms. They did last year. Keep checking back especially as one poster said at the 45 day mark when money is due. If the money is not in, a room could be available.

45 days out would be too late as you MUST book by June 22 and 45 days out is July 12 so they wouldn't qualify for free dining which is the deal breaker for this young family.

I am considering trying to upgrade to a Moderate and transferring my Value ressied to them. We still have some time so I'm not going to make any hasty move just yet.
 
We were there last year during free dining and the crowds have picked up as PP said, but manageable. Where you 'felt' it was in the restaurants!!!!! CROWDED!!!! :sad2:

Hey, that does work! I tried it just to see (I was looking to switch to from All Sport to All Star Music) and it worked. :cool1:
