Surely all of these rooms can’t be booked already?

I’ve checked Thomas cook/virgin/ATD etc and no joy!
Free dining isn’t available on standard rooms POR need a preferred room anyway to qualify

I know this it’s just confusing that there are thousands of rooms already apparently booked up in every hotel!

Just impossible

This is rationing the rooms that are linked to free dining

Worst comes to the worst, we will wait to book, then pay for dining and get the resort and room we want.

Bummer - yes

End of the world - no

Free Dining is diminishing, it’s still ‘offered’ for marketing purposes and there is still free dining, but availability is rapidly decreasing and prices going up. Once you are mentally committed to booking free dining, if that is not availible and rooms disappearing, you are more likely to panick buy.
The queuing system is all part of the clever psychology.

I’d posted a few days back elsewhere that a good friend had been told similar re lack of availability, I hoped I was wrong and I appreciate some were going on previous years. Same friend went to various sites/agents, couldn’t quote or pre register for her resort choice, Disney this morning also does not have her resort choice. She’s booked offsite with VH, (far superior resort), got a stonking deal and saves over any free dining at a Disney deluxe.

The queue is a genius piece of marketing. Curry’s used it for their Boxing Day sale last year, which was extremely underwhelming lol.

Joined queue at midnight, got through at 1 am but no September availability for beach club ! Got up at 5am got through straight away but only Animal Kingdom Lodge and Grand Floridian showing !
Have always booked direct but my nerves wouldn’t hold out so booked with attractions tickets direct.
Am annoyed with myself as we are staying for 10 nights, if i had booked yesterday i would have got the 400$ Disney credit not the 300🤔

Am shattered but it’s booked 😍
