I, for one, am really excited to see that none of you are trying for the same resort and same dates as me.

On a side note, I could feel my teeth rotting, so I've switched from jelly beans to doritos.

Can I modify an existing reservation to get FD or do I need to call in the morning? Never done free dining before.

Oooh the rogue hyperlink that says Disney free dining is back! When you click on it it takes you to goofy though! Google Disney free dining and click on the Walt Disney world link a few down.....we must be getting close!

Trying again for advice - this is moving fast!

I was just playing around with booking, looking at options of ticket length etc., and I had a thought. If we get 5 day tickets with water park, it is almost the same price as getting 2 day tickets with water park and upgrading to deluxe dining. We would stay 6 nights. Would this in any possible way be worth it? We would do a half day in each park, hitting the highlights. We would have three free days to go to the water parks and enjoy our hotel pool and Disney Springs. We would have all kinds of dining credits, which we would use to splurge on as many 2 credit meals as possible. We are a family of 6, so a dinner show costs us at least $200, making the approximately $1000 deluxe upgrade still less expensive than paying out of pocket for the non-covered meals on the regular dining plan, if I am figuring right - although of course we wouldn't book so many reservations if we didn't have deluxe dining, but I could drive myself crazy with all the permutations.

Anyway - would any of you ever do that? Sacrifice park time for more of a freewheeling experience and go nuts on trying new restaurants that would traditionally be way too expensive for us?

This thread is moving crazy fast I probably wouldn't take that many non-park days but I don't know how old your kids are. I'd do one day off in a heartbeat but 3 seems like a lot.

Imagine if the system didn't let your modify or cancel a booking online, plus they didn't let you hold two reservations for the same times, like they do with dining.

This is just ridiculous.... I will give the website until 7 am to release, then I am calling to complain.

 

[TiggerManiac]

Nine here. what are your other three?

Those seeing 12 are probably seeing other offers because they're DVC members or Castaway Club members.

Wooo! Slept from 9:30-midnight and it took me 40 minutes to catch up on this thread. Now it's time for me to just refresh refresh refresh and figure out what to watch on TV. DH is super sick so he took some meds and went to bed.

Booking three rooms 9/13-20 @ POP. 2nd choice ASMu. 3rd ASSp
