Thanks! I have been trying to keep up with the board but somehow missed that discussion
There were earlier posts stating the day after was cheaper than the weekend.
AHHHHH!!! I can hardly stand the anticipation!!! I've never looked so forward to a MONDAY arriving before!!!
Does anyone know if airfare is historically outrageous on either the day after Thanksgiving (Friday) or the day after that (Saturday)? Or are the really high costs typically on Sunday to end the holiday weekend? Thanks
Hello all Disney fans. I am new but have been monitoring the boards for the free dining. First time to Disney with the family wife and an 8 n 4 year old. We are looking to go Sept 29 - October 5. If October is blacked out would we still get FD if we check in on the 29th and have it until the 5th? And just want to check to make sure there has not been ant new revelations since black posted a week or so ago. And thank you for all the information that has been supplied by you fine folks!!
Take for instance, POFQ. We've been numerous times in September when there weren't any rooms showing available. Empty parking lots, empty room(visible from outside). Even had to make adjustments before based on availability PER promotions, ie bounceback, FD, etc... I know you guys here on the DIS like to argue but it's how it works. If you honestly think that all of the resorts are full year round, well, that's your opinion.
No, we know all the resorts are NOT completely full year-round; that's why we have a free dining discount.
However, if there are no rooms in Disney's inventory today, they won't magically appear come Monday morning so they can sell them with a discount. Now, it could be the rooms they've allocated/given to other vendors (Orbitz, etc) are out there and those rooms go unsold. I don't know when Disney takes them back or the other vendors give them back, but those could be the "empty" rooms you are seeing. We also know that around this time, many people are holding more than one reservation in hopes of getting FD. My guess is (and it's just a guess), there are also some TAs out there who are booking rooms to have for their clients.
None of us are saying Disney's rooms are always sold out. We ARE saying that Disney is NOT holding back inventory for this or any other promotion. If you don't agree, that's fine. We're all entitled to our opinion.
My nervous jitters are through the roof because I have to rely on my TA to change my reservation and I might be just a little bit of a control freak!Yeah, I'm getting the nervous jitters. Like everything I know is flying out of my head.
If you check in on the 29th, and the end date for FD is the 30th as is the current rumor, you will get FD for your entire stay. It goes by your check in date. Check in before FD ends and it extends through your entire stay.
Phew, I'm trying to keep up with all the posts and I'm sorry if this was covered already somewhere, but we're currently at a moderate (CBR) with a package that includes base tickets (no PH or PH +) and the regular DDP. Should I change my tickets to Park hopper + right now and also change the dining plan to QS? Does that help expedite making my changes in any way on Monday when FD drops? Would love some thoughts!
Yeah you are not kidding. Very overwhelming to say the least. Spent 4 hours at a friends house bc they try to go every year or atleast every other, and only went over high level stuff. I went to disney 1 time for my senior class trip and yup I acted like an 8 year old and did my own thing...lol Now, at 36 Im going with the fam. Oh and I will be there for my bday, 4thWelcome! You are a brave soul to be on the boards for your first trip!! Lots of priceless info, but can be very overwhelming! Stick with us, we'll help you through to a magical trip
We went for breakfast and it was good. Nothing super special but I definitely wouldn't call it bad! Breakfast is a safer bet for restaurants where the food may be iffy, it's hard to screw up bacon and eggs. And the character interactions were wonderful
Second that. We went for a dinner and the princesses -- even Jasmine -- were amazing! Loved, loved it! You'll enjoy it!
You can turn a QS into 3 snack credits in the same transaction.
Seriously? That's awesome to know. Thank you! For the F&W festival lol
This doesn't work all the time and when it does has to be the same place. Mainly reports are coming back that some have been able to do it at resorts. This changed this year.
