Free Dining 2014 Discussion ~ Part 2

[Disco]

Me too!! Exact same dates! I am so excited!!! After staying up most of the the night trying to book online, since I needed to be done in time to get kids to school & myself to work at 8:00, I was dialing at 6:57 and constantly thereafter for 55 minutes (i made well over 100 calls with no luck).

Decide to give website another try- and SUCCESS!!!!!!

I was so disheartened during the constant busy signals, but was determined.

CSR here we come!!! ((Happy dance))

LOL I dialed and got through on my second attempt at like 7:01. But my stupid VOIP phone was doing this weird robot voice thing so I had to hang. it was nothing but busy signal for like an hour after that. I was so freaked out LOL!

 

[Makcarly]

I waited on hold for a little over an hour and then my call got dropped! Both DH and I kept trying to call and nothing but busy signals and all circuits busy. I just booked online. POP 9/7-9/13.

Most likely as long as the rooms for the date hold out.

If it doesn't show anymore on the website (I have a standard room, just king size bed room left now) for my travel dates, means that I won't be able to get it? :-(

My TA is on the line with them as we speak! She is awesome! I am anxiously waiting to hear that we got it!

Just booked Christmas (Dec 20-27) for 11 people at Fort Wilderness Cabin's with the free dining! I tried calling to change an existing reservation, could not get through on any phone number, been trying since 7:00am. But I was able to make 2 new reservations for the same week, same resort. We saved $3,922.58! Good Luck everyone!

 

[teffy]

I was on hold for an hour and Got a preferred room at POP with upgraded dining. She said they still had standard rooms too. August 31st-September 6th. Saved over $600! Good luck everyone!!

 

[CalSea12]

woo hoo,

saved 700, and got everything I wanted! back to bed!

 

[Deffenm]

Wait time now 1 hour 20 mins. I hope I get through soon as I need to use little girls room and I am afraid my phone will drop while I am in the restroom. Oh joy, Its a Small World again!

 

[marissamayhem]

What time do we think the lines will slow down? I booked online and need to cancel my room only reservation and since I'm super paranoid about having two reservations sitting there for the same day, I want to get it cancelled ASAP.

 

[KNovacovschi]

Is it sad when you know the order of the hold music.

 

[annegirl]

GOT IT!! We already had a reservation but I finally got through at just over an hour on hold and was able to modify both my parent's reservation and our reservation to have the free quick service with the upgrade to the regular plan. SO excited!! We will be at POP Nov. 11-21. Saved over a thousand. My parents saved a little over 500!

We called Sunday evening with our DV and were on hold maybe 8 minutes before getting thru. The que was playing 'Small World' and I almost changed my mind.over, and over, and..
Sorry folks are having difficulties with the GP, but also delighted to see those who are getting thru!
WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!

 

[KaylaR]

[medicman234]

I am fairly sure this is the link for the U.s Offer that the Dis Boards people were able to book with https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/special-offers/resort-stay-dining/ Maybe one of the successful Disers who were able to book could chime in, please

canadian is special-offers/resort-stays-dining

[KNovacovschi]

Me to...

 

[Kristian]

Me to...

Me three!!!

 

[peekkaboo]

hmmm, AOA not included at all? I dont see it listed on the value resorts? I booked a lion king suite with the earlier DV offer. That seems odd they would take it off for GP doesnt it?

I noticed that on the offer page from Disney too. But when I clicked on a link that another member posted on DIS where you can make a book online, i tried it and it works for AoA and we are only staying 4 nights and it seems to give me the FD! But I cant book it as Im using a TA so i gotta wait to hear from her. Booo... Im freaking out here.

 

[Jonesloonybin]

Tried the potty break trick but no luck. Still on hold at 1 hour and 27 minutes!
