Will POP be available for the general public for Free Dining

[ShellyLynn3630]

We'll I just booked two short and not real sure if we will get to go packages for September with my Disney Visa, and hoping that I will get to apply the code for Free Dining in the morning. I tried to book twice last night but both CMs told my just one package per Visa, and I know that that is not so! But the reason I am wanting to go ahead and get them booked and such now is because I really want to get inot POP. But if for some reason I do have to wait until Monday do you think that POP will still be available to the general public? I mean we were'nt even planning on going this year, but maybe.

I honestly don't know how anyone could tell what Monday will bring in terms of availability. Unless they are not releasing certain free dining rooms until Monday for the general public. Between those who booked free dining with the bounceback last fall and Disney Visa holders who have all weekend to book, I would think there would be no way to know until the time comes. Values seem to be the first to fill up and Pop seems the most popular..but who knows with this economy?

Good luck.

No one knows what Monday will bring. I know that myself and some of my friends all booked the POP last year with the general public free dining and had no difficulty at all and were able to get the exact dates we wanted. If history repeats itself, you'll be fine. The POP is a huge resort. However, no one can tell. Maybe there will be an overwhelming number of people taking advantage this year, but I doubt it. Good luck!

Well it does'nt matter anyway, I played CM roulette this morning and got just what I wanted! Both rooms booked with my Disney Visa at Pop. Its just really weird how different ones will give you so many different answers.

The official policy since 2008 is one room per visa but some CM's didnt get the email *lazy*

Really, well from what I have read you know pretty much what your talking about when it comes to Disney, but you know, I did the very same thing last year. Oh, well its all good.

ACTUALLY, they usually let you book up to three rooms with the Visa.
And I was able to do 4 on Thurs., because the CMs supervisor was in the background saying there was no limit.
The CM had suggested I might be able to do my 3rd room because my connecting rooms for my immediate family counted as ONE booking.

Who knows, I don't care, I got my four rooms and I'm happy!

But definately have NOT heard that they are only to do one room.
[Could be, who knows.]

Glad you got what you needed!

I do suppose there could have been some changes made. This is a good point.

I booked 3 rooms last year with my Visa. They are three separate reservations but same dates. I did it through AAA. My agent did not let me book the 4th one.
