We love Pop! My oldest definitely considers it her Disney 'home'

Added on the roll call. And for both those reasons September definitely seems like a better ideaTrip is booked (Sept 8 - 17) at Pop! We were booked for December 2019 with a bounceback FD offer, but we were afraid of the crowds that Galaxies Edge would bring. Besides....... September is much closer than December
Sounds like the stars aligned for youMy wife and I have been talking about taking our first Disney trip without kids.
We want to check out the Food & Wine festival so I've been looking for a "September 2019" thread to start.
Just found your thread today (thank you, btw)
Just saw the free dining deal - today
Just booked a trip at CBR for Sept. 8th through the 14th - today
Some days you just live right.
Sorry to hear about your mom, hope the treatments help.Wasn't planning on a WDW trip this year, but free dining dropped and, well, I talked DH into it.
August 30 to September 7 at Pop. Just DH and I. We will be celebrating our 25th anniversary.
It is quite possible we will end up cancelling at some point as my mom has stage 4 cancer, not curable. Hopefully her treatments slow things way down and she is doing fine when September rolls around! Actually a big part of why DH agreed to the trip is because I have been quite down about the situation and WDW is my happy place and the planning is super fun to me.
Booked for Sept 23rd to the 28th at All-Star Movies! This will be my first time at an All-Star hotel (though I've done Pop before) And just like @Bama Mom it's a combo anniversary and birthday trip! Tbh, Food and Wine plus the fact that it's a birthday trip for me was the only way to get DH to go with me lol
So I booked before free dining came out and I've been trying to call the last two days to convert my reservation. I was on hold Wednesday for 90 minutes at two times during the day before hanging up and last night I was on hold for 4 hours before I threw in the towel. I know I could cancel my reservation and book a new one online (and that's basically what they're doing on the phone for me?) but I don't trust myself to mess something up lol Has anyone here had any luck with calling to change their reservation for the free dining?
Have you just tried changing your reservation online instead of canceling and rebooking? That's what I did on Wed night, but not for free dining just the room discount.
Have you ever done the dining plan? We had free dining last november and really didn't like it. It was too much food for us and I hated keeping track of our credits! We ended up with 16 leftover snack credits and 1 TS and 1 QS. I used the snack credits to get bags of candy and trail mix but I could have done without them.I just modified my reservation this morning for the room discount but I couldn't find anything about free dining while I was doing that so I'm not sure if it's possible to do the free dining online this same way or if all the free dining reservations have been used already. But hey, at least I got a room discount!

That's one of the reasons I would have only taken free dining if a room only discount wasn't available. We used it on our last family trip and it was great when it's all five of us, and really convenient not having to plan money for the meals (but we did have a lot of snack credits left, we just used them for snacks for the ride home) but with just hubby and I, the dining plan isn't really a sensible choice. He is a foodie, I am not. In fact, I could survive off the kids' menu. So I would have only used it this time if I got t free.
