Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'm both laughing and slightly frustrated right now. Some of you know that I am attending a rally in November at the Fort. At the request of several of the attendees we added the dining plan to our contract. As with everything with this rally NOTHING is ever exactly what it appears. They gave us the wrong date to start making our campground reservations. They canceled the Grand Gatherings. Why should the dining plan be any different.Here is what I do know-When the executed contract, group contact info, etc arrived the date to start making ADRs was listed as May 1st. One of the attendees called in to ask some questions on the group resort reservation line she got the same date. This date did not agree with the date she had calculated so she decided to contact Disney Dining reservations. Disney Dining gave her the date of May 5th.When I was told of the discrepancy, I contacted our coordinator. He contacted a few people who gave him the May 1st date.The attendee called Disney Dining back, they said they didn't know where that person got the info but it was wrong.I passed that back to the coordinator who gave me a website to calculate the dates for myself. The website gave me the date of May 8th.I decided to look at my reservations online. The reminder most decidedly says "Dining Reservations Available May 1, 2012".I feel like there is an auctioneer goingMay 1st going onceMay 5 going twiceMay 8 going thriceMay ? sold to everyone who doesn't have a fort of a clue!

Gots2pitt.. Jeff 64 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 My vote is I would try first on May 1 if that fails try May 5 and well if it is really May 8 it is very sad. You might get to put in ADR's ahead of time because you booked a package? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have no idea if things are different under a group reservation like this, but normally you can make ADRs 180 days in advance of the day you check-in.Good luck!And remind me never to offer to be in charge of a group reservation!

At one time I thought this would be a yearly thing but honestly for me.. it's worth the extra money just to not deal with the aggravation! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
