Old Key West, October 2020 help!

Hi everyone,
Thinking of booking a two bed villa at OKW for October 2020. I know you can’t book this accommodation until 330 days out which would take us outside of the free dining plan offer.

Has anyone had experience of this? What is the best way to get around it and be able to have the dining offer as well as the 2 bed villa on my preferred dates? Book a two bed villa for other dates and change 330 days out or book a different accommodation for the same dates?

Travelling as 7 adults, 1 child and 1 infant.

Thanks!

Great! I was in two minds about whether to book our second choice property or second choice date range because we’re a large group so limited on choice of accommodation really!

Tbh we found booking our second choice in property means that if they dont have what we want we still have a nice hotel and we keep the 200$ voucher aswell as the dining

That’s true! I wouldn’t mind going in May rather than Oct so that’s why I was thinking maybe book for May then change if the availability comes up!

I think the free dining offer for 2020 only includes check in dates up until 3rd October 2020 anyway, you’d need to be checking in on on before this date to qualify for free dining.

I thought Disney take the booking from you so you get the dining and any other offers but on the stipulation that if they dont have availability when the actual rooms are released at 330 days you can either change to an alternative or cancel. I am sure thats what we did last year
