So we booked POFQ for 8/20-8/26. Paying rack rate, have hoppers, and regular dining plan. We are well aware that POFQ is never included in the free dining promos. We are going to Disney this August with or without a discount so we decided to book the best room within our budget. We can move our vacation by a few days but I want to be home before Labor day weekend starts.
We booked with a TA. I am guessing I should have a conversation with her about what we are willing to do if free dining becomes available. Since we have 2 adults and 2 kids and lots of character meals planned, free dining is the best deal for us(and nothing was available that was worth us moving for the % of room deal that was just released) Our first choice is to move to a deluxe, preferably on the monorail. We are willing to spend up to $500 more dollars that what we already are spending to be on the monorail. If we paid rack rate for a deluxe, it was close to $2000 more if I remember correctly(it's been awhile since I ran the numbers) Next would be to move to another moderate and spend less money. So should I contact the TA with my preferences now in priority order so she can try to get us free dining if it does become available for our dates?
