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.

When I booked for 2007 FD I had the 10 day hold, if no payment received by then the reservation will be canceled. I can't say for sure if it is still true. You can always ask when on the phone with them.

Hi all,
Okay I had a quick question. I thought I read somewhere that you could get a Disney discount (like FD) along with a AAA discount, since it's still only 1 discount from Disney. Am I wrong on this? My TA is saying it's not allowed, and I thought for sure it was. TIA!

No, it is NOT allowed. Disney will not let you stack discounts.

I just booked and had to put an immediate deposit-but I am not sure if that is because of booking with Disney Visa or because of Free Dining prom restrictions.

It is because of the Disney Visa Promo offer.

Just booked an 8 day stay @ CBR w/ Pirate room. 9/20-9/27. I was very surprised that there was no hold time and I was able to get my first choice w/ no problems.

BTW. I can't believe how inexpensive the airfare was. $107 R/T from BWI to MCO. Of course I'll probably have to pay like $50 a bag or something.

Now I only have to stress about getting my ADR's on 6/21 lol

nezy · 03-26-2009, 10:22 AM

I have a Disney visa card, but did not get an e-mail from Disney Visa re this promotion. I happened to find it today when I went on the Dis --of course!!
Also, I checked the Disney Rewards website and there is nothing about free dining promo!

Now I have to decide if I should keep my July ressie w/pay for 4 get 7 or to switch to the free dining plan!

Okay, thanks for the quick response!

Just got an email from my TA (Small World) that she added FD this morning for our two standard rooms at ASMo - going Sept 19th through the 27th.

I could NOT have done it so easily without the DISboards. I really appreciate all the knowledgable folks on here that take the time to answer questions that not only help the OP but other newbie's like myself.

On behalf of everyone in my party I thank you!!!

mpetti · 03-26-2009, 10:23 AM

Congrats!! Can't wait for Aug to be at Pop. Have never stayed there and we are all looking forward to it. Especially with the FD!!!

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

i wonder if they release more rooms when they release to the gp?

No. 1 Table Service per day is plenty for us. Wastes too much time and it's way too much food for us on the Deluxe plan.

LMCT88 · 03-26-2009, 10:36 AM

Is there a list of restaurants I can look at also, what happens if you don't say use your cs on one day do you lose it, or can you use it for snacks at the end. I think what I am saying is if you don't use it all on that day do you lose it?

s2turk · 03-26-2009, 10:36 AM

We just booked our trip, Sept. 5th through Sept. 13th at Pop Century with free dining!!! It took all of about ten minutes, and I was never on hold. Jo Beth was the best!!! Can't wait to get there!!!
