That's great news. two very different propositions though. Nearly comes down to space vs convenience. We took a move to the cabins but I have second guessed myself on that a few times after a bit of research. are you on dining plan

Can I also ask how people have got extra FPs? We've not been offered anything extra and Disney UK refused to speak to me because I've booked with a TA.
Thanks again...

We got an email booked with Disney direct, don't think those who booked with TAs did (though your TA should have contacted you). You will get the $75 gift card though because you haven't been offered any money off your total invoice (some who booked with Disney have and Orlando attractions, don't think any who booked through a TA were offered this). The offer was £50 off your invoice or $75 gift card.

Extra fastpasses were offered to very few dibbers a few months ago (most people weren't offered these) and not something that they are offering any more.

Fantastic news, did they give you a time scale on how long these offers will last?

Good luck though xx

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I sort of got this. What I was trying to find out was whether everyone had now rolled over and accepted that it's never going to happen, or whether as a group it was felt worth battling on. If it's generally thought the case is lost I will smile sweetly, think of England, and move on.

I had been convinced what I had was enough - then folks started checking in with more water tight offers and got turned down, coupled with the reports from the resort about the work & the marmite food options I just felt it wasn't worth the risk & we moved.

It's wedding for me & first trip for most of the family so wasn't worth the extra stress.

The move is financially more than £700 & GC but obviously just not as beneficial for us but the weight was lifted.

That said - still ask upon check in and present your email. You never know!

Your having no luck with this one. I'm sure you'll get the GC but I would sit (literally if need be) on your travel agent for a written confirmation to put your mind at rest

Even though it doesn't really affect my anymore as I moved, the impression I have got over the last 2 or 3 weeks is the more people have battled with wduk, the more they have dug their heels in to the point now they've flagged people's bookings to make sure no double discount is given (whereas before, the first few checking in got the £50 and $75).
