Either Water parks and more OR Park Hopper, yes.

I have to admit while so grateful to have free dining in a pirate room at CBR, I am a little jealous of those who got CSR! Wondering if it's just my dates (11/16-20) or the fact that I set my alarm for 4CT instead of 4ET (stayed up til 11CT/12ET, set alarms for 1CT/2ET, 2:30CT/ET and 4CT/5ET)? What was I thinking...

That is the only room I could get and I was on at 4am. Hoping to switch it up over the next few days. Glad I got something though. We have no kids on this trip. It's not the best choice for us. I also have a bad achilles and the though of walking that far after the parks worries me.

Yes, you can.

I know what that says, but the "real" minimums are lower than that.

What are the minimums? My niece wants to go for a weekend and eat free while we are there. I may have to change some ADRs.

I believe 3 nights.

 

[schriverl]

No...her 2 y/o requires no tickets.

Oh wait...didn't notice you only have one adult.

Just figured it out. It was automatically upping me to the next dining plan level. But it didn't do that for my sister. Phew. Thought Disney was losing it!

I booked FD for Sept. 10--18 Coronado Springs Water View.
Boy, the pickings were slim for FD for MOD the week we are going.
Only thing left for MOD was CS and Water view.
Booked at 3:40am my time which is 2 hours behind Disney time.

Mine still has not showed up in MDE. I am starting to freak out!! I received the email confirming the changes but no change online!!

Maybe cause I made a new reservation? I didn't change anything.

What about 9/28-10/4 for Disney Visa card holders?

All the other dates listed for public are also listed for Visa, with the exception of the few days at the beginning. No way to tell if there's a separate inventory set aside though.

 

[PeterPanFan123]

Here's the email I just received from Visa

 

[MemphisVanessa]

I stayed up all night and modified my AKL Savanna stay as soon as it went live. I just checked my dates again out of curiosity and pretty much every room category there is still open for the deal. So, I didn't need to stay up but it was still a lot of fun hanging in here with you all!

I have been trying for over an hour and the closest I have gotten is a busy signal, has anyone been able to get through in the last hour? If you have gored through on the phone, how long were you trying for? Haven't tried to book FD before so I am not sure if this is normal or not.

 

[aloha517]

Yes

Either Water parks and more OR Park Hopper, yes.

Is it cheaper? .. I'm sorry I just don't have the energy to look ..

 

[RJstanis]

Whoa! My TA knew I was interested in FD when I booked in Feb, and without me asking got up this morning and booked a reservation with FD for me to consider?!?!?! How is that for service!!!!! The deal I got with them still seems better overall.

Essentially for about $80 more I could switch from standard room at POFQ with dining added on to a Royal Guest Garden View room at Riverside with FD.

We love POFQ too much, so doubt it's worth the room upgrade for us at the sister resort.

 

[WeLoveLilo05]

Feel free to PM me if you find, later, that any Garden View rooms open up! I will do the same if you wish.

Ok I will let you know, let me know too if you see anything. I know last year a few days later there was more availability at places bc people began canceling

Are you trying online too? Seems like people are having better luck with the website...

Interesting, wonder if it's worth calling to see if different inventory for Disney Visa card holders? What do you think Black?

Where can I find the number for Disney Visa? I don't have one but my daughter does and she's not answering her phone! Or do I just call Disney?

Sure...hit it.
