I have been called Smitch, Smith, even Sir (still cracking up over that one), and now I can add Smidge to the list. :rotfl:

And you're welcome! :goodvibes

First off, thanks for all you do... I've enjoyed following along on your posts...

As for "Sir"... I must say with your old avatar (which I have already managed to forget... your kids I think?) I wondered if it was you or your husband who was posting, given the picture of your family in your signature :-)
 
Did anyone get POR FD over Thanksgiving? At 5am there were no rooms. I am wondering if there were rooms at midnight or not. Just curious.

I was online a little after midnight and nothing was available at POR from 11/23-11/29. There was 1 RR available for 11/22-11/29, but we cannot leave on 11/22.

We ended up at AKL with free dining for $43 less than POR RR with dining.
 
My TA is awesome! We were booked at POFQ but she got us in our next choice CSR. I'm so excited! We've never stayed there so I can't wait to try something new! F&W here we come, minus the kids!
We're staying there too for the first time :) I will say I slept there for a few hrs after getting back from my first cruise and shared a room with others from the cruise but never spent any time awake there LOL
 
We have to cancel our original reservation and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long it takes to get a refund? I know what Disney says, but from personal experience how long did it take for you?

Thanks for the kind words. :goodvibes Yes, my old avatar was my kids when they were younger. DD took a pic of me in my new way cool Little Mermaid shirt for Facebook on Tuesday, so I thought I'd update my avatar to that. Unfortunately, I could get the shirt in the pic without me being tiny. :rotfl: I wish I could have. It is a really cool shirt. :)
 
After rambling on, moaning and complaining and gettign some nasty pm's....my TA came through for me:banana: Sorry for being upset and discouraged and for those who sent me the nasty pm's..and you know who you are...I'm not sorry. She got me Nov 10 as room only with discount...183.00 and FD the 11 - 17. A whopping big savings of $1025.00!! Now holding on to hope that disney will let us stay in the same room when we check out on the 11th and check back in....
And we had a chat...I explained my frustration and she knew all about it and said it was fine...that she had hundreds of clients that she was busy with and she apologized for the lack of communications.

HOORAY!!! That is wonderful news!! Congrats!!

Wow! Congrats! Right place, right time!

Congrats! Sounds like a super deal!

Woohoo!!:banana:

Have fun at Disney; those Cars suites look awesome!

Nite Nite! Get some rest! Now that you finally can.:cloud9:

So sorry! My TA said the same thing, especially for families of 5 or more.:worried:

We are a family of five:/We're still going to have a great time:)
 
:tiptoe:
I have lurked on this board ALOT and the 1st part of the thread...I wasn't too concerned with this FD, I just figured I should be grateful to be going again. Bottom line we are going one way or the other, but this thread became an addiction and all of your dreams for pixie dust landed on me,,:rotfl: so i am still sitting on pins and needles hoping my TA somehow did get through before 10 and was able to get us into POP, saving us approx 450$...it is a relief to know I am not the only Disney "freak" who thinks like those of us on these boards...:grouphug: :disrocks:

Glad to hear the good news! :)
 
I haven't been on the boards today, so I have fallen about 100 pages behind. I'm not even going to attempt to catch up for once. :lmao:

I was just wondering what families of 5-6 decided to if you didn't get your resort of choice? We were going to do AoA, but that obviously didn't work out. It was expensive, but the resort is just, wow!

We considered AsMu suites or 2 rooms at POP, but I just felt it wasn't worth the money. We thought about staying offsite, too. Eventually we decided for as much as it costs now - going from POR to getting bumped out of that category - maybe we would just go every other year instead. If we change our minds, we'll stay offsite, but I don't think we will. :eek:

This is our first trip, so we have decided to stay onsite. We are a family of six, staying at POR OCt 23-28. We did not get fd, but we decided to stick with it. I couldn't go down to Pop bc I can't imaging sharing a double bed with my husband, it is vacation, I need to be comfy! I know we will try to get to Disney several more times as my youngest 2 are still very small. I feel pretty certain that this will be the only time we stay onsite. I can't justify the price when you can get a house with a private pool for less than $100 a night, depending on when you go. I am so disappointed in the fact that we aren't getting a discount. That is half the reason I chose October.

Still keeping our eyes open for future offers.... guess I'll have to obsess about something else for a while. By the time we get back, I have a better shot of my youngest being 40 inches though! :thumbsup2

We are a family of 5, and we could have switched from CR to GF to get the discount, but we had our hearts set on CR...so we decided to forgo the discount:)
 
I was online about 2:45am and after several tries with no availability. was able to book two royal garden rooms at POR Thanksgiving week, 11/23-11/30. It was the only category available.
 
I never received an updated email showing free dining applied.....can I see it somewhere on MDE?

Awesome! We were hoping for a RR, but nothing showed unless I changed my date by 1 day. Unfortunately those dates don't work for me, but good for you!
