OK.. we are planning to go the last week of August.. (hoping for free dining.. but going either way) and I have a few questions. We are trying for Aug 23-Sept 1 at this point. We don't start school until Sept. 3.

So, my 180 day mark is almost here, but I have no reservations made for the vacation. To make all my ADRs at the 180 mark what do I have to have booked? Can it be room only at this point?

I know I can make them without having a ressie, but then I would have to call every day right? at the 180 point for that day? I really want Le Cellier and Crystal Palace at opening this year, so I don't want to mess it up. :cool1:

Also, if I book everything and free dining starts in the middle of our trip are we out of luck? Is there any way to get it for only half the week? I'm guessing we would need two reservations.. might work since we are considering a split stay.

Thanks!
 
To make all your reservations (180 + 10) you would need to have a room only booked. It can be a double edged sword booking your room only. They may not have Free Dining available for your resort because it's all booked up before the dining is offered.

Without your room booked, yes, you would have to call every morning at 180 days to make your reservations for that date. That can be a huge PITA.

You are right, a split stay would take care of this for you.
