AlternateEgo · 03-26-2009, 08:53 AM

Woohoo! I feel like this is all a dream

can't wait until Monday morning! I have been planning this Honeymoon for what feels like FOREVER

lilys.mom · 03-26-2009, 08:56 AM

Ok anyone had a problem getting the date and resorts they want??

I am worried since I have to wait until Monday to call or should I be ok since I already have a packaged booked at CBR?

I know there will be so many people calling between now and Monday althought it looks like a lot of people are booking August dates Im toward end of September

He said he was still waiting for someone to pick up (where ever he was calling for help). While he was on hold he went back in and said it looked like it took. Should I be nervous? I know others had glitches.... If he saw it on the screen when he went back in - am I good to go? I don't want any suprises later on for something that was totally not my fault!!!

Thanks and any advice would be great!

Went through my TA this morning and she said Disney was having problems with the screens and some glitches with the promotion being loaded. She said not to worry. If he gave you a rese # I think you should be good to go.

Congrats !!!!

I wouldn't be too worried. The exact same thing happened to me. So I called back and got someone else and they confirmed that it had took. Then a few hours later I got my confirmation e-mail and it was right. So I had worried for nothing...

Nope, you shouldn't need a code just call and tell them you have DV. I saw somewhere there was a code of "RYI." I wrote it down, but didn't need it. Have fun!

TRICKY_TINK · 03-26-2009, 09:22 AM

Woo-hoo all booked and ready to go!

No. In 2007 I never got an email at all and last year the email came out two days after the code was released. The free dining codes always show up here on the DIS or Mousesavers before anywhere else.

I just booked with my Disney Visa and he also asked for the RYI code.

Miniefan · 03-26-2009, 09:32 AM

Question for those of you who have already booked- did they make you pay the deposit immediately or are they still able to do the 10 day courtesy hold?

I plan to book on Monday when they release general public code but my paycheck doesn't get direct deposited until Wed at 12am, so I am really hoping that they still do this, otherwise I'll have to wait until Wed to book.

Thanks and congrats to all who got the dates and resort they wanted.

FYI - My CM just told me that they are having problems right now booking with the regular free dining plan and are asking people to call back. But those wanting deluxe plan are able to book.

Maybe it's just a trick to get more people to upgrade!

Good luck everyone!

I had the same issue--deluxe dining code was working, but they were still loading the regular dining code. I booked deluxe (to insure my spot at the resort), but will be calling back to drop that add on.

Thanks!

If you're staying on DVC points, you can't get free dining. It's only available as part of a vacation package with room at rack rate (cheapest is a value for $82 a night) and tickets (minimum 1 day base ticket). Lots of DVC'ers save their points for another trip to be able to take advantage of free dining. Good luck!

for all the free diners!
