Speaking of Disney IT - Candlelight Processional dining reservations were supposed to be bookable starting this morning for AP Holders.

You'll never guess what happened.....

Yep "Sorry, they are not loaded, can you try later?" This after being on hold for 20 minutes at 6:15 CDT (7:15 EDT).

Finally, around 10:30, people started getting through, however... yep, you guessed it, still not all were loaded. I was on hold for 60 mnutes around 11:00 my time, and finally got through and got what I wanted,

Wouldn't you think, SINCE THEY SENT OUT AN EMAIL TO AP HOLDERS over the weekend announcing early booking, that they would have been ready???? I guess I'll still naive.

Excuse me while I go take some aspirin for my pounding headache after listening to the music/promotion loop for an hour!!!! :headache:
 


As a mention - the diminishment of FD is partly what drove me to buy DVC. We were chasing FD and it became harder and harder as the promotion became worse. (I remember getting the full DDP at a value in 2009.) DVC has its problems - but you know what your "discount" is - a low price deluxe accommodation room.

And a few people have mentioned that the promotion is extending FD dining into the summer. That is not the case - it still doesn't start until the end of August and has limited dates - the difference is it was supposed to finish booking on July 7th, and they just extended the dates you can BOOK.
Here's the thing about FD that really opened my eyes. I had free dining booked at Coronado and when the newer Holiday discount came out, the exact same hotel and room category was over $700 less than the FD room. I know the rooms were discounted but I don't think it was $100 per night discount...So I really question the value of FD...this is my personal experience for two people.
 
Been there done that...

Yep, I was on hold for a second time last summer for F&W stuff. I just dialed in before I left to drive to work, put my headphones on at work, worked, and talked with people about work, until they finally answered. That was the second attempt, since some stuff wasn't released on the first attempt:sad2:
