******Official 2017 Free Dining Plan Watch, Wait, and Dream

[calngavinsmom]

Hi guys....so my change reservation button still isn't fixed (I called Disney Tech Support last week and they recognised there was a problem and sent it to their upper level tech team to resolve, but I still haven't gotten a resoultion <sigh>) Anyhow, looks like I will be doing it the old fashioned way and sitting on hold Monday morning....just wanted to double check, phone lines open at 7 EDT right?

Thanks a bunch!

Does anyone know, if part of your stay is during FD and part is not during FD, do you only get the FD during the actual FD dates, or since you are there during part of the FD dates all your dates get FD? Hope that wasn't too confusing.

As long as your check in date falls within the promotion you're good for the duration of your stay, max of 14 days

We did the breakfast and we liked it. The server will bring Mickey waffles to your table if you just ask. Also, we asked for the eggs "well done", if not, they are runny. There is a lot of sausage and I believe bacon too. They serve it family style. There is also a buffet of sweets and fruit. I think you should give it a try

Too late now. My ADRs are made. We are doing GG PPO breakfast.

It's how to beat a lie detector jerry

That's right! It's the melrose place episode where jerry is dating a cop.

Check in date is what is important. If your check in date is a FD date, your whole trip is covered. If not, you will need 2 reservations to take advantage of the promotion.

Is it made by someone using a coffee machine? Barista?

Edit: I see someone has said it is French press. So it won't be take away. But that will make us sit, slow down and and enjoy the surrounds!

Yes! And you can get a "to go" coffee after you are done eating breakfast at kona cafe

Maybe next trip?? Hope you enjoy GG

I just went to change my dates again and once I made changes, hit check out, and then clicked "purchase" it gave me this little guy that says "We see see see there is a problem" and tells me to call.

The first time I tried to modify about a week ago it wouldn't let me and I had to call. (Even the lady on the phone couldn't change it and had to get GS.) At that time my reservation WAS showing my new dates to her, but I was still seeing the original dates and never got a confirmation email. The call was almost a week after I attempted the change so MDE should have been updated by then.

UGH. This is frustrating as hell. I guess I'm going to have to just wait and make a new reservation on Monday.

I wonder if this makes modifying a ressie better? Hmmm.

I'm not really sure but I'd assume everyone would be put in a queue....the modifying might make it move faster though.

Kind of shocking that they rolled this new process out before FD drops, but it will likely let them be more accuarate in their room inventory /availability??

 

[agassizsmile]

Appreciate the info. Just wondering, I noticed your tag line is, "It not a lie, if you believe it". Is that something we should keep in mind as we read your posts?

I was gonna ask him same thing !

Hi everyone. I have been enjoying this thread so much. I am a first timer and have gotten so much valuable information from all of you. I will be going with 4 adults and 2 kids. We all want to stay in the same room since our littles (ages 3&5) will likely go to sleep earlier than the rest of us and we don't want to have to leave someone sitting with them in the dark. We were all set on staying in a FW Cabin, but with the rumored dining plan changes an ASMu Suite or AoA Suite are other possibilities. Recommendations? What order would you put the suites in? Thanks for all your help! Glad to see I'm not alone in all my crazy planning.

Ugh, lots of new land mines to navigate Monday morning!

Me too, but I do love a good Seinfeld episode! And George is the king of nonsense

I just have a question. I am planning on traveling 8/16 but I do have a Disney visa. Would I need to book through the Visa perks page or is there an option for visa holders on the regular Disney reservation page?

There's a special link for Disney Visa people but I never get it emailed right away, usually someone posts it here. Also, it's through the normal Disney website. The site recognizes that your card is a Disney Visa when you type the number in. It works for the debit and the credit and the deposit has to be made on the disney card

Same question here. Also wondering if it can be modified online or if I'm going to have to call.

Can I ask why not a fan? I've booked it for our first night dinner when we arrive in Orlando. We're quite foodie, but I know atmosphere and "fun" can balance an average meal. By the same token, I don't want to pay for rubbish!

Ohana is my favorite. We thought the food was awesome and the atmosphere was fun! We personally loved the banana bread pudding with caramel sauce and I'm not a fan of bananas!

Festivus for the rest of us! Love Seinfeld!!!

I'm in the same boat here. And I'm wanting to stay at pop, which I'm betting will fill up quick with the QSDP for mods.

I'm just holding off and keeping my fingers crossed!

So of the two resorts you've stayed at, you prefer Pop? Not sure which to choose.....
