You're not alone. My folks had Pop from Nov. 19- Dec. 1. When free dining hit, they could only modify for Nov. 22-nov. 30, with FD for the whole time minus 22-23. They were forced to move from Pop to an AS resort for the final night. I continue to look, and it may open up, hopefully. But this turns into a three-part split stay, and it really throws a cramp into how we schedule the use of the dining credits as the will expire, then start, then expire again at each point of the split stay. So, hopefully, Dec. 1 opens up and they can tack that onto the existing stay. My family is in a similar situation, but at AoA Cars suite. At least we don't have a resort change, but our FD only goes from Nov 24-29, with Nov. 30-end back to non-FD. Our 180 mark is in about 25 days, so now we get to crunch numbers to see which meals we should pay oop for and then if we end up wasting credits that go unused when it resets during our trip. Especially as it pertains to CRT and Mickey's Backyard BBQ. Doing those our first two TS meals during the 2 days before our FD kicks in. Initially, we would use these credits early, and later have days without using TS, but now, that can't happen. I wonder if the non-FD days would be better served with a dining plan or without. I don't want to waste money (for me or my parents) but I also don't want to worry about the menu costs. Does anybody have a good resource to help determine cost efficiency of plan credits at each restaurant? Thank you!
