Mobile Are more rooms released after free dining ends?

Quickie question...

Trying to lock in a booking! Wanted POR and upgrade to full dining.

Only mod availability showing is pirate room at CRB which is a no.

Do we book AKL or book a value with upgrade in hope of POR release or OKW (our preferred places to stay... well the ones within budget &#128514 I know OKW less likely.

If you are wanting to secure free dining just book for one person at a value resort(so only pay £50...then at a later date add more people and upgrade resort/dining plan..that way if you cancel you only lose £50...you can change resort/dining and number of guest up to i think a week before departure and as you will be upgrading you will pay no extra fees..

When is it you are looking at going? We changed our booked for August from POR to OKW a couple of weeks ago. That was for 3 rooms. I noticed the following day no rooms at POR were available which I thought was a bit odd.

Oooh gives me hope, thank you 😄😄

We are looking at middle of May.

I bite the bullet and booked all star music for the dates to get free dining sorted and I’ll just keep checking for availability. It’s part of our honeymoon so I’m sure a few things will change haha!

We changed our booking to a standard room at cbr (which had previously been unavailable) in January this year well after free dining had ended. So yes rooms can become available, just keep checking.

Does anyone know: We booked AKL for 6 nights with free dining. Would it be possible to switch to Saratoga Springs and extend the booking by ten days, if one-bed villas are available for our dates? Presumably we would not get the free dining for the extra 10 days.

Assuming you booked through Disney then yes you would.

Thanks - would they extend the free dining for the whole stay?
