We don't need tickets, but we do book room and dining plan when we go.

I plan to call tomorrow to change our May 1st-9 th reservation to late September. Had really hoped things would be different but have pretty much accepted May is not going to happen. It has been fun planning along with all of you and perhaps I will see some of you over in the September thread.My TA urgently called me late tonight to tell me the news about this deal. It's coincidental to me because I told myself earlier today that this weekend I will finally accept my fate and reschedule our trip. I had been looking at months and dates with DH and was going back and forth between June, August, and November. After the TA called me and told me the dates of this deal, it was pretty much an immediate decision for us on what our best option will be. So it looks like I'll sadly say goodbye to our May dates officially, and now look forward to mid-August. I think it's nice of Disney to do this. They really don't have to offer anything to the existing reservations. It'll be interesting to see how construction project dates change though!

I guess it is MNSSHP instead of VAH and hopefully there will also be a DAH event they change change our tickets to.
We are renting points through a DVC member over Memorial Day week. Check in the 23rd. Noticed this morning I can not change dining reservations, they are still there but I can’t alter them. I was able to alter a fast pass. For now we are holding on to a bit of hope. We have AP’s so no need for tickets.
I would definitely try again with a different CM. You are correct in that it seems to be for room only also. Edit - Saw somewhere on another thread that you need to have cancelled (with proof that you had a May res) to book the free dining pkg, so maybe that is the issue.I called first thing this morning and was on hold for 2 hours and 12 minutes. When I spoke to the cast member he said since I did not have a package originally I would not be able to get the free dining. I asked in many different ways as what the website indicates it is for packages and room only reservations so was not understanding why we could not get this offer. I did keep my May reservation and booked the back up. Guess we will see what happens.
Anyone else hear anything different on this “offer”.
Thanks. Yes I have not canceled my May reservation and the CM was looking at it. I believe you are correct in saying I may need to speak to a different CM. I have a friend who is a TA and when I told her about it she said she will look into it and get back with me. Let’s hope it is a mute point and by some miracle they are able to open by May 1st.I am holding on to my May 15 res as long as I can. It's 6.5 weeks away yet.

Yes it's true, the offer is for guests who booked directly with Disney only.I chatted online today with Disney reservations and was told that since my May trip was booked through Undercover Tourist, I don't qualify. Not sure if that's true or not. I tried calling but was on hold for 35 minutes and my family was hungry for lunch so I guess I'll try again later. Might reconsider my August trip if I get a deal with free dining.
Ok so for May you have a room only? If you booked directly through Disney you should absolutely be eligible for FD but of course you need o make it a package and book between 6/1-9/30. Give a call back, they won't add it to a new reservation you made today if that's what you did but since you have May it'll still work.I called first thing this morning and was on hold for 2 hours and 12 minutes.
