I'm a very detailed over-planner when it comes to planning trips to Disney. Currently I'm planning our Sept 2012 trip as well 3 other families that want to go with us or around the same time as us. I want to save everybody as much money as possible and I've told them all about free dining so we're all hoping for it but I've told them that it's certainly not a guarantee but since they've done it for 7 years hopefully it'll still be offered next year.
My money saving idea is this, if in January an offer for "Kids Stay and Play Free" comes out like it did this year then I'd like to book that for everybody just in case free dining doesn't come back. That way some saving is better than no savings.
My question is, is it easy to call up the reservation line down the road if free dining is offered and change pin codes? I'm guessing it's like cancelling the reservations and rebooking? Do you need to have the insurance in order to do this or is it not a problem?
We're hoping to stay at the new Art of Animation resort but who knows if reservations will be open when these offers come out. If not my plan is to book at POP and change if available.
I'm sure some will want to suggest MJ but I really enjoy doing this all myself. I've always done our own reservations and have booked many trips for other family members and friends through the years. I always wanted to be a Travel Agent myself I just never followed through with it.
