I realize everyone who's been waiting for this is booking today if they haven't already, but do you think I am okay to wait a week or 2 to book? Literally closing on a house tomorrow, need to get DH to nail down dates with me, and also waiting on my mom to let me know when she is going to be there. Anyone recall how fast the FD-allotted rooms (esp Values - ASMu or Pop?) went in previous years?
So I've been on the site trying to book at pop for free dining. I want to upgrade to the deluxe from the QS. Every time I tried to go to that page it kept saying server was down. The only time I could continue was when I just went straight to check out. So I did and left the QS. On. Can I just call later to upgrade to the deluxe or does it have to be done at the time of booking?
That's just an example. You need at least 3 nights stay and 2 days of tickets.
I tried to book a 3 night stay at Pop and AOA and it said no availability for either. When I changed it to 6 nights both were available. So I'm thinking they must have changed the offer. :
The server keeps crashing both on my desktop and my iphone when I try to upgrade dining plans as well. I just booked 2 connecting rooms online at the Pop and kept it as QS.. I figured I had better just get the reservation in for rooms and FD and I can call to upgrade it in a few days when things die down on the phone lines. From what I can tell, it only costs $50 to change your reservation if it's 44 days or less away.
SO SO Excited!! Yeah!

I was told by my CM that the 45 day change guideline causing the $50 fee was only if you made a change that caused a decrease in your package. It would not be charged if there was an increase. Only the $15 processing fee if with in 2 weeks and that was for any change because they would already have your packet ready by then and would have to re-do everything regardless.

wdwokie said:I don't know if this has been mentioned, but most of October is excluded for free dining. There are blackout dates from Oct 4-25, so even if you are checking in on the 3rd, like we were planning on doing, the rest of the trip is excluded. Other blackout dates are Nov. 2-8, and Nov. 21-Dec. 11. :/ (I am hoping maybe the lady I talked with is wrong.)
The lady you spoke to IS wrong. I booked today October 3-11 and have free dining for my whole trip. As long as you check in during free dining time you get it for you duration of your trip.
wdwokie said:That's great news! Too bad I was on hold for 1.5 hours to speak with this lady that had no idea!!! Guess I'll call back. Thank you.
Last year we booked our trip July 31 on the last day of the free dining deal and were able to get two rooms! With the exclusion of POR it may go quicker this year, but it's hard to say! Good luck!!!!We are looking to stay at a Value with free dining.
